Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Ever-Evolving Art of Self
RALPH WALDO EMERSON AND THE EVER-EVOLVING ART OF SELF-RELIANT READING BY THEODORE REND BARTON A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS English December 2012 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved by: Eric Wilson, Ph.D., Advisor Barry Maine, Ph.D., Chair Omaar Hena, Ph.D. My efforts and their results are dedicated to my grandmothers Irene Sauban and Jeanne Barton whose lives demonstrated the magnanimous effects of constant reading, and also to my brother William Barton who never hesitates to read from the text of the world. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project and I are indebted to innumerable people for their love, support, and patience. I will always have indefatigable gratitude for my time with Eric Wilson, and for his indelible influence on my intellectual development while at Wake Forest University and in London. It must be rare that a graduate student is given the opportunity to study with a mentor whom he truly admires and looks up to, and I am cognizant of how lucky I’ve been. Similarly, it’s difficult to express the extent of my appreciation for Omaar Hena, but it’s clear that Wake is unbelievably lucky to employ him for what is certain to be a ground breaking and distinguished career in post-colonial studies. I also must thank my Cal. State professors Chad Luck, Margaret Doane, Cynthia Cotter, and Julie Sophia Paegle for preparing me for the rigors of graduate school and for their encouragement. -
List of Bivalve Molluscs from British Columbia, Canada
List of Bivalve Molluscs from British Columbia, Canada Compiled by Robert G. Forsyth Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria, BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Rick M. Harbo Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Last revised: 11 October 2013 INTRODUCTION Classification rankings are constantly under debate and review. The higher classification utilized here follows Bieler et al. (2010). Another useful resource is the online World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; Gofas 2013) where the traditional ranking of Pteriomorphia, Palaeoheterodonta and Heterodonta as subclasses is used. This list includes 237 bivalve species from marine and freshwater habitats of British Columbia, Canada. Marine species (206) are mostly derived from Coan et al. (2000) and Carlton (2007). Freshwater species (31) are from Clarke (1981). Common names of marine bivalves are from Coan et al. (2000), who adopted most names from Turgeon et al. (1998); common names of freshwater species are from Turgeon et al. (1998). Changes to names or additions to the fauna since these two publications are marked with footnotes. Marine groups are in black type, freshwater taxa are in blue. Introduced (non-indigenous) species are marked with an asterisk (*). Marine intertidal species (n=84) are noted with a dagger (†). Quayle (1960) published a BC Provincial Museum handbook, The Intertidal Bivalves of British Columbia. Harbo (1997; 2011) provided illustrations and descriptions of many of the bivalves found in British Columbia, including an identification guide for bivalve siphons and “shows”. Lamb & Hanby (2005) also illustrated many species. -

He spoke about his participation with Captain Hancock and the Galapagos expedi tions aboard the Velero III. This ship was 195 feet long, 31 feet wide at the beam and cruised at 13.5 knots. It had adequate fuel and water for each cruise to last two to three months with a minimum of port calls. Thirty-two people could be accomodated on board. Of these, usually fourteen were in the captains party and were provided private staterooms with bath. Also onboard were a photographer, chief operations officer, and a physician. The visiting scien tists included individuals from major zoos, aquaria, and museums. In later cruises, many graduate students from U.S.C. participated. The Velero III had five 60 gallon aquaria for maintenance of live aquatic specimens. Two 26 foot launches and three 13 foot skiffs were available for shoreward excursions and landings. Though busily collecting specimens pertaining to their interests on each cruise, the scientists had considerable exposure to entertainment. -

Australian Tropical Marine Micromolluscs: an Overwhelming Bias

Wilson 1,3 1 Department of Aquatic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, WA 6986, Australia; [email protected] (P.U.M.); [email protected] (N.G.W.) 2 School of Veterinary and Life Sciences, Murdoch University, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia 3 School of Animal Biology, University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-08-9212-3747 Academic Editor: Michael Wink Received: 26 April 2016; Accepted: 26 July 2016; Published: 2 August 2016 Abstract: Assessing the marine biodiversity of the tropics can be overwhelming, especially for the Mollusca, one of the largest marine phyla in the sea. With a diversity that can exceed macrofaunal richness in many groups, the micro/meiofaunal component is one of most overlooked biotas in surveys due to the time-consuming nature of collecting, sorting, and identifying this assemblage. We review trends in micromollusc research highlighting the Australian perspective that reveals a dwindling taxonomic effort through time and discuss pervasive obstacles of relevance to the taxonomy of micromolluscs globally. Since a high during the 1970s, followed by a smaller peak in 2000, in 2010 we observe a low in micromolluscan collection activity in Australia not seen since the 1930s. Although challenging, considered planning at each step of the species identification pathway can reduce barriers to micromolluscan research (e.g., role of types, dedicated sampling, integration of microscopy and genetic methods). -

This meeting will also be held at Prometor sp LA1 in situ the City of San Diego Marine Lab. Photo: Tom Parker, CSDLAC Marine Biology Lab Next to have the floor was Don Cadien, who wanted to discuss the concept of “specialist taxonomy” for the upcoming Bight’03 project. He feels that this option benefited the data during the B’98 project and seems worthwhile to do a second time. He recommended the following groups be identified by a specialist - The SCAMIT Newsletter is not deemed to be a valid publication for formal taxonomic purposes.

BEES IN THE COLLECTION OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 2. By T. D. A. Cockerell, Of the University of Colorado, Boulder. The present contribution deals principally with Asiatic bees, and includes a number of new species collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott in localities rarely visited by naturalists. Especially interesting are those obtained at very high altitudes in the Himalayan region, be- longing to a peculiar fauna, recently made known in part through the work of the British Tibet expedition. 1 Doctor Abbott's collections have long priority over those of the British expedition, but descrip- tions of the latter have, in part, been published first. HALICTUS NIKKOENSIS, new species. Female.—Length slightly over 6 mm., anterior wing 4^; head, thorax, and abdomen olive-green; head large, broader than thorax, facial quadrangle larger than the small mesothorax; clypeus not produced, its lower part blackened, its surface shining, with distinct but very sparse punctures; mandibles dark red subapically; supra- clypeal area shining ; front and vertex dullish, very densely granular- punctate; cheeks broad, unarmed; antennas dark, apical part of flagellum ferruginous; hair of head and thorax dull white, scanty; r mesothorax and scutellum shining, with fine close punctures, } et not so close on disk as to hide the surface; area of metathorax looking granular under a lens, but really covered with very fine, vermiform anastomosing wrinkles; tegulse testaceous; wings yellowish, with a sort of dilute orange tint; stigma and nervures pale ferruginous, outer nervures distinct; second s. m. narrow, only about half as broad as third, receiving first r. n. at about beginning of its last third; legs dark, with pale yellowish hair, anterior and middle knees pallid, tarsi reddish, the hind basitarsus darker; hind spur with two large broad blunt teeth, the first about quadrate, the second very low, very much broader than long; abdomen finely punctured, the hind 1 See Entomologist, Sept., 1910. -
