TRAYLOR CAMBRIDGE • MASSACHUSETTS MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 1968 COPYRIGHT, 1968 BY THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OP HARVARD COLLEGE .on MUS. COM P. ZOOL. LIBRARY DEC 1 1 it.ob HARVARD UNIVERSITY^ THE HEFFERNAN PRESS, INC. WORCESTER, MASS. INTRODUCTION The eight taxa covered in this volume (Parulidae, Drepan- ididae, Vireonidae, Icteridae, Fringillidae, CardueHnae, Es- trildidae, and Viduinae) contain only about six percent of the living species of birds, but these are among the best known of the entire class. For many of these species there is comparatively abundant information on their natural his- tory, general biology, physiology, ethology, and even genet- ics. A comparable amount of data could not be found for any similar assemblage of birds. However, in spite of the abun- dance of taxonomically useful information, or more probably because of it, the systematics of these birds are among the most unsettled and controversial in the Class Aves. One would hope that each volume of the Check-list would have a useful life span of at least a few decades. But, even though the authors have adopted a conservative approach and avoided recent radical innovations. Volume XIV, cover- ing birds of interest to so many biologists, ranging from physiologists to ethologists, will certainly show its age ear- lier than other volumes in the series. If this volume is a touchstone from which rapid advances and changes are made, then it will have served an important function. Once again the editor is grateful for the cooperation of the authors and to those who read manuscripts and offered suggestions. I have been fortunate in having the editorial assistance of Mrs. Nanette W. Plotkin; the short interval between this volume and the last to be published (Vol. XII, 1967) is largely due to her efforts. Mrs. Michael D. McBride has continued to contribute her time and skill in preparing the index. Manuscript for this volume was completed 1 July 1968. Only minor modifications were made after this date. 3 September 1968 Raymond A. Paynter, Jr. CONTENTS Order passeriformes 3 Suborder Oscines 3 Family Parulidae, Wood Warblers, by George H.

The other genera (Diglossa, Chlorophanes, Iridophanes, Cyanerpes, Dacnis, Hemidacnis, Xenodacnis, Oreomanes, and Euneomis) have been transferred to the Thraupinae, Further studies (e.g., Skutch, 1962, Condor, 64, pp. 113- 116) have indicated the possibility that Coereba is so distinct that it might be best treated as a monotypic family, and that Conirostrum may be related to the Emberizine finches. Consequently, we have placed both these genera among the genera incertae sedis at the end of the family. — G. H. L., Jr. and B. L. M., Jr. 2 MS read by J. Bond, J. P. Hubbard, K. C. Parkes, and R. W.

  • 'Grand Theft Archive': a Quantitative Analysis of the State of Computer
    Gooding, P. and Terras, M. (2008) "„Grand Theft Archive‟: a quantitative analysis of the current state of computer game preservation". The International Journal of Digital Curation. Issue 2, Volume 3, 2008. http://www.ijdc.net/ijdc/article/view/85/90 1 ‘Grand Theft Archive’: A Quantitative Analysis of the Current State of Computer Game Preservation Paul Gooding, Librarian, BBC Sports Library, London Melissa Terras, School of Library, Archive and Information Studies, University College London November 2008 Abstract Computer games, like other digital media, are extremely vulnerable to long-term loss, yet little work has been done to preserve them. As a result we are experiencing large-scale loss of the early years of gaming history. Computer games are an important part of modern popular culture, and yet are afforded little of the respect bestowed upon established media such as books, film, television and music. We must understand the reasons for the current lack of computer game preservation in order to devise strategies for the future. Computer game history is a difficult area to work in, because it is impossible to know what has been lost already, and early records are often incomplete. This paper uses the information that is available to analyse the current status of computer game preservation, specifically in the UK. It makes a quantitative analysis of the preservation status of computer games, and finds that games are already in a vulnerable state. It proposes that work should be done to compile accurate metadata on computer games and to analyse more closely the exact scale of data loss, while suggesting strategies to overcome the barriers that currently exist.

Payne Museum of Zoology The University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 Ann Arbor MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN May 26, 1982 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available.

    Now that digital broadcasting service areas are expanding, and with the appearance of high-definition content on Blu-ray and HD DVD media, there is a strong demand for high definition content production. Until these recent developments, HD content production had been comparatively simple, with the source of input being mainly limited to HD camera recordings. With television shifting to high definition and the rapid spread of high-definition video cameras for consumer use, location shooting in consumer HDV format with inexpensive cameras is becoming more popular. Meanwhile the transition to a tapeless era for broadcasting is underway. Overall, an extremely complex situation has arisen. If this had been a complete shift towards digital data in files handled by codecs, IP and the world of networking, this may not have presented so many challenges. In reality, we cannot ignore the world of real-time transmissions in which data streams of various formats are distributed via cable connection. When viewed as, “Hi-Def”, the various HD formats probably look the same to many. In reality, however, video from different sources are likely to have different resolutions, bit rates, and frame rates. Moreover, when these are transmitted, it may be physically impossible to access files with different formats. It is getting so that you can’t easily manage simple tasks like dubbing or monitoring. What is needed for this world of many formats is a multi-format converter that can convert from many formats to any other form. While it is possible to get devices that can specifically convert between just about any of the existing formats, for example between component and SDI, they are not cost effective or bi-directional.

  • Treeline Dynamics on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
    Western Geography, 10/11(2000/01), pp. 43–63 ©Western Division, Canadian Association of Geographers Treeline Dynamics on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia Colin P. Laroque, David H. Lewis and Dan J. Smith* Department of Geography—Ring Laboratory University of Victoria Victoria, BC V8W 3P5 This paper describes the nature of treeline dynamics and upper-elevation tree establishment patterns on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We examined tree growth, climate and seedling relationships at three upper-elevation locations using standard dendroecolog- ical approaches. Our data suggest that this habitat has experienced species-specific pulses of tree establishment that have had a major impact on the character of the local treeline boundaries. The stem data collected within quadrats at Gemini Mountain and Haley Bowl show that seedling establishment within the last three cen- turies was episodic and linked to historical climatic pat- terns. Successful mountain hemlock establishment in this setting is restricted to periods characterized by either cool summers and shallow winter snowpacks, or warmer than normal summers and moderately deep snowpacks. The establishment of amabilis and subalpine fir seedlings appears restricted to intervals with cool growing seasons and moderately deep seasonal snow- packs. Episodic seedling establishment in the 20th cen- tury has resulted in a gradual infilling of the local tree- line and the development of a more structured parkland belt that is expected to have habitat implications for endangered Vancouver Island marmot. Keywords: dendroecology, subalpine meadows, seedling establishment, tree rings, Vancouver Island, Vancouver Island marmot. *Corresponding author 44 Laroque, Lewis & Smith Introduction Little is known of the nature of long-term treeline dynamics on Vancouver Island.

  • Tropical Diseases in the German Colonial Press
    ‘Combating’ tropical diseases in the German colonial press ‘Combating’ tropical CORREA, Sílvio Marcus de Souza. ‘Combating’ tropical diseases in the diseases in the German German colonial press. História, * Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos, Rio de colonial press Janeiro. Disponível em: http:// www.scielo.br/hcsm. Abstract This article shows how much certain German language newspapers were a vehicule for reporting to the lay public on ‘combating’ tropical diseases. Through the press, immigrants and their descendents in Brazil were informed not only about the diseases which afflicted German colonists in Africa, but also about measures concerning sanitation, prophylaxis and experiments with tropical medicine, etc. Based on hemerographic sources, it shows how successful the overseas German communities were in sharing their experiences regarding health in tropical and/or sub-tropical regions. Keywords: Africa and Brazil; tropical diseases; German colonialism; newspapers; German immigration.

The doctor, who was also a deputy, doubted the possibility of Germans acclimatizing to tropical regions (Lorenz, 2008, p.34).
