The main objective was to promote the knowledge in Economic Geology and techniques of exploration of the mineral resources from Bolivia, also to promote the interactions among members of the geoscientist community. 1. Field Trip Course: “World Class Polymetallic Deposits in Quechisla District, South of Bolivia" From 23 to 28 April, 2016. pág. 2 SEG BOLIVIAN STUDENT CHAPTER, Facultad de Geología, Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, Calle 27, Pabellón Geología de Cota Cota,La Paz – Bolivia The course co-organized by the Association of Geologists of Bolivia (CGB) and the SEG- BSC was “World Class Polymetallic Deposits in Quechisla District, South of Bolivia" held 23 to 28 April 2016 in Quechisla District of the Potosi State. The theoretical portion was held in the Auditorium of Telamayu (2 Days) and field trips (4 days) included visits to the sites of Choroma, Animas y Siete Suyos, Chorolque and Tasna. The instructors were Dr. Stewart Redwood (SEG 1992 F), Dr. Kevin B. Heather (SEG 1998 F) and Dr. Osvaldo Arce (SEG 2008 F). The course was sponsored by the Association of Geologists of Bolivia (CGB), The Stewart R. Wallace Fund from SEG, SEG Bolivian Student Chapter, San Cristobal Mining, Pan American Silver and Mining Corporation of Bolivia (COMIBOL). Fifty five people including professionals, students and foreign participants participated. The leader was Osvaldo Arce, president of the Association of Geologists of Bolivia (CGB) who worked with the executive committee of the SEG-BSC (Zahira Martinez, Jorge Jora, Prsicila Gutierrez and Claudia Coronado) and the coordinator Hernan Reynoso of COMIBOL, to make this course possible. The Stewart R. Wallace Fund from SEG was used in this Field trip for daily food for 2 and a half days for all participants, San Cristobal Mining Fund was used to pay train tickets of the line Andina Railway Company from Oruro to Atocha just one way, also for daily food for 3 and a half days. Pan American Silver Mining Company Fund was used for Dr. Stewart Redwood and Dr. Kevin Heather return airplane tickets from La Paz to Uyuni and vice versa, and Dr. Osvaldo Arce return airplane tickets from Uyuni to La Paz, COMIBOL was the Company that was responsible for hosting all Bolivians and foreigners participants. CGB and SEG-BSC were responsible for sponsoring return bus tickets of the all Bolivian students from Telamayu to Oruro, rent a Bus car and gasoline for 4 days and all theoretical material for fifty five people. The detail is given in excel sheet. After two days of theoretical part, the next field visits were made in the district of Quechisla. Field Visits.

Bolivia Abstract The Department of La Paz has the largest number of wild potato species (Solanum Section Petota Solanaceae) in Bolivia, some of which are rare and threatened by extinction. Solanum achacachense, S. candolleanum, S. circaeifolium, S. okadae, S. soestii and S. virgultorum were all searched for in their type localities and new areas. Isolated specimens of S. achacachense were found in its type localities, while S. candolleanum was found in low density populations. Solanum circaeifolium was also found as isolated specimens or in low density populations in its type localities, but also in new areas. Solanum soestii and S. okadae were found in small, isolated populations. No specimen of S. virgultorum was found at all. The majority of the wild species searched for suffered the attack of pathogenic fungi. Interviews with local farmers revealed the main factors negatively affecting these species to be loss of habitat through urbanization and the use of the land for agriculture and forestry.

YELLOW FEVER IN THE AMERICAS by 1 2 7 Thomas P. Monath, M.D. Chief, Vector-Borne Diseases Division Center for Disease Control Ft. Collins, Colorado Efforts to eradicate Aedes aegypti during the first 30 years of this century resulted in the virtual disappearance of urban epidemics of yellow fever but uncovered the underlying sylvan transmission cycle. Since 1930, only 14 epidemics of urban yellow fever have occurred; each followed introduction of the virus from a juxtaposed jungle focus, and none resulted in a continuing endemic presence. The last outbreak was recorded in Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1954. Since 1930, the annual incidence of human cases of jungle yellow fever has been low and fairly constant. Periodically an increase in virus activity is manifested by cases clustered in time and space within the endemic zone. A few epidemics have broached the boundaries of the endemic wet forests of South America, extending into Argentina to the south or into Central America to the north. Yellow fever virus is endemic in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia, in forested and sparsely-populated areas under limited cultivation, drained by tributaries of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers. The incidence of cases in the last five years, reflecting only the activity of yellow fever in its sylvan cycle, is shown in Table 1. Brazil. Yellow fever cases are sporadically recognized in the states of Para, Amazonas, Acre, Mato Grosso, Goias, and in the territories of Roraima and Rondoma.

  • The Sustainability of Indigenous Wind Instrument Making Practices In
    The Sustainability of Indigenous Wind Instrument Making Practices in Bolivia A while ago, I started my fieldwork with Indigenous wind instrument makers, bamboo harvesters and collectors in Bolivia. Bamboo is a fascinating material for wind instrument making. It unites certain characteristics that render them superior in comparison to other materials. It is a natural and sustainable material, grows hollow, has potentially solid culm walls with smooth surfaces from the inside, is fibrous, ductile and workable without greater mechanical or technological affordances. I studied how makers distinguish between certain musical bamboos – those native woody bamboos used for musical instrument making; how musical bamboos are part of a chain of commercialization and commodification; how wind instrument making practices transformed over the last decade in relation to socio-economic, political and ecological changes. Native woody bamboos used for Indigenous wind instrument making From a botanical point of view, bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily of Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. They are divided into non-tropical woody bamboos, tropical woody bamboos and herbaceous bamboos. For my study, I mainly focused on tropical woody bamboos, as some of these species and genera are used for making Indigenous wind instruments. In this regard, I wanted to know, where and how they grow, what their potential threats are, how makers, bamboo collectors and harvesters relate to them. Therefore, before starting my fieldwork, I produced ecological niche models of some known and reported tropical woody bamboo species in Bolivia, and calculated their niche loss due to deforestation. Páramo Yungueño in Inquisivi Province, La Paz Department Then, during fieldwork, I had the chance to accompany instrument makers and bamboo collectors to the locations where bamboo is harvested, and to undertake ethnographic research with local actors involved in harvesting and commercializing bamboo.

  • A Study of D'orbigny's
    Edward C. Dickinson and Alain Lebossé 49 Zoological Bibliography 2018 5(4) A study of d’Orbigny’s “Voyage dans l’Amerique Meridionale” IV. New avian names deriving from d’Orbigny’s expedition with evidence for their first introduction and necessary corrections to authorship, dates and citations1 Edward C. Dickinson and Alain Lebossé COPYRIGHT: © 2017 Dickinson and Lebossé. This is an open‐access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. ABSTRACT: The detailed six‐part review by Hellmayr (1921‐25) of the important ornithological findings of d’Orbigny in South America made use of the limited available information then available to him on the dates of publication of the 90 individual livraisons of d’Orbigny’s report on the birds. This was against a background of relative uncertainty as to the dates of publication of the two parts of the Synopsis Avium by d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye in the Magasin de Zoologie published by Guerin‐Meneville. The later findings of Sherborn & Griffin (1934), based on a set of wrappers of d’Orbigny’s book, allowed more certainty regarding the content of each wrapper, but the reported wrapper dates themselves (year dates only) cast doubt on issue sequence, and better information on the individual dates of the livraisons was not brought forward. Here that evidence is assembled and the interaction of these dates with the probable publications dates for the two parts of the Synopsis Avium is assessed. Based on this each genuinely new name proposed in either work is presented as a recommended valid original name, accompanied by citations to the same taxon elsewhere in either work.
