" Why dost thou build the hall? Son of the winged days! Thou lookest from thy tower to-day; yet a few years and the blast of the desert comes: it howls in thy empty court." Ossian. Being, myself, a direct descendant of the Clan MacFarlane, the old "Coat of Arms" hanging up- on the wall one of my earliest recollections, the oft-repeated story of the great bravery at Lang- side that gave them the crest, the many tradi- tions told by those who have long since passed away, left npon my mind an impression so indeli- ble, that, as years rolled on, and I had become an ardent student of Scottish history, I determined to know more of my ancestors than could be gathered from oral traditions. At length, in the summer of 1891, traveling for the second time in Europe, I was enabled to exe- cute a long-cherished plan of spending some time at Arrochar, at the head of Loch Long, in the Highlandsof Scotland, the hereditary posses- sions for six hundred years of the chiefs of the Clan MacFarlane. -

Deglasiasjonsforl0pet I Aurlandsdalen Og Omradene Omkring, Vest-Norge
Deglasiasjonsforl0pet i Aurlandsdalen og omradene omkring, Vest-Norge BJ0RN BERGSTR0M Bergstr0m, B. 1975. The course of deglaciation in Aurlandsdalen and sur rounding areas, West Norway. Norges geol. Unders. 317, 33-69. Ice movements and the course of deglaciation in the Aurland area are recon structed. The oldest ice movement was from the SE-ESE and converged towards Aurlandsfjorden, while the younger movements were influenced by the local topography and converged towards the larger valleys. Establishment of the deglaciation chronology has been based mainly on morphological studies of glacial deposits, equilibrium line displacements, pollen analysis and radio carbon dating. Four events with glacial advances or stagnations have been identi fied. The Aurlandsfjord event is assumed to represent a short stagnation of the glaciers at the end of Younger Dryas (after the Ra advance), the Vangen event is older than 9790 ± 160 B.P. and probably younger than 10 000 B.P., the Loven event is dated to the period immediately before 9790 ± 160 B.P., and the Steine event dates from the transition Preboreal/Boreal (9500 B.P.) or the earliest part of the Boreal period. The entire area was deglaciated around 8500 years ago.

Habituation Responses in Wild Reindeer Exposed to Recreational Activities
Habituation responses in wild reindeer exposed to recreational activities Eigil Reimers1,2, Knut H. Røed2, Øystein Flaget3, & Eivind Lurås3 1 Department of Biology, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1066 Blindern, 0316 Oslo, Norway ([email protected]). 2 Department of Basic Sciences and Aquatic Medicine, The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, P.O. Box 8146 Dep., 0033 Oslo, Norway. 3 Høgskolen i Hedmark, Avdeling for skog- og utmarksfag, Evenstad, Norway. Abstract: Displacement is the effect most often predicted when recreational activities in wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) areas are discussed. Wild reindeer in Blefjell (225 km2) are exposed to humans more frequently than in Har- dangervidda (8200 km2), from which the Blefjell herd originate. We recorded fright and flight response distances of groups of reindeer in both herds to a person directly approaching them on foot or skis during winter, summer, and autumn post-hunting and rutting season in 2004-2006. The response distances sight, alert, flight initiation and escape were shorter in Blefjell than in Hardangervidda while the probability of assessing the observer before flight tended to be greater in Blefjell. To test whether these results could be due to habituation or genetic influence of semi-domestic reindeer previously released in the Blefjell region, we compared the genetic variation of the Blefjell reindeer with previously reported variation in semi-domestic reindeer and in the wild reindeer from Hardangervidda. Microsatellite analyses revealed closer genetic ancestry of the Blefjell reindeer to the wild Hardangervidda reindeer and not to the semi-domestic reindeer at both the herd and the individual level.
