NEW ZEALAND PRIMITIVE METHODIST MINISTERS By
This research is dedicated to Mr. Alan Charlesworth Armitage (1915- 2002) of Christchurch, who encouraged this research. His family roots NEW ZEALAND in England were in the West Riding. Originally Independents living at Hightown in the Spen Valley, here they joined the Primitive Methodists and then moved to Leeds. Subsequently some of the family moved to New Zealand where they became Wesleyan Methodists. PRIMITIVE METHODIST MINISTERS by CIRCUITS [2015] In 1988 the late William Leary published his Ministers & Circuits in the Primitive ABBREVIATIONS Methodist Church, a Directory which records the ministerial stationing. Ths accuracy of Leary’s listing in part is complicated by an inconsistency of B - born presenting material for the oversea stations – Australia/Australasia, Canada and CH - children New Zealand. His source for this research was the annual Primitive Methodist Ct. - circuit Conference.

In the ancillariid genus Amalda, the shell is character rich and 96 described species are currently treated as valid. Based on shell morphology, several subspecies have been recognized within Amalda hilgendorfi, with a combined range extending at depths of 150–750 m from Japan to the South-West Pacific. A molecular analysis of 78 specimens from throughout this range shows both a weak geographical structuring and evidence of gene flow at the regional scale. -
Invasive Seaweed Enhances Recruitment of a Native Bivalve: Roles of Refuge from Predation and the Habitat Choice of Recruits
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 318: 177–185, 2006 Published August 3 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Invasive seaweed enhances recruitment of a native bivalve: roles of refuge from predation and the habitat choice of recruits Paul E. Gribben1,*, Jeffrey T. Wright2 1Centre for Marine Biofouling and Bio-Innovation, University of New South Wales, New South Wales 2052, Australia 2Institute for Conservation Biology and School of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, New South Wales 2522, Australia ABSTRACT: Invasive species may have a range of negative effects on native species in the region invaded. The invasive green alga Caulerpa taxifolia has invaded several temperate regions world- wide and now occurs in 9 estuaries in temperate eastern Australia. Despite the threat posed by C. taxifolia, virtually nothing is known of its effects on native estuarine infauna. In the present study, we investigated the distribution and abundance, habitat choice and predation of recruits (post-set juveniles) of the native Sydney cockle Anadara trapezia at 2 sites invaded by C. taxifolia in Lake Conjola, New South Wales, Australia. Recruitment of A. trapezia was significantly higher in C. taxi- folia (both with sparse [30%] and with dense [100%] cover) than in Zostera capricorni and bare sed- iment. Up to 680 recruits m–2 were observed in C. taxifolia, with the highest recruit densities occur- ring at intermediate C. taxifolia densities. However, in habitat choice experiments, recruits showed no preference for C. taxifolia over the seagrasses Z. capricorni and Halophila ovalis, but a strong pref- erence for adult A. trapezia over all macrophytes when A. trapezia were included as treatments in experiments. -

Mass Spectrometry Imaging Reveals New Biological Roles for Choline
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mass spectrometry imaging reveals new biological roles for choline esters and Tyrian purple precursors Received: 17 March 2015 Accepted: 27 July 2015 in muricid molluscs Published: 01 September 2015 David Rudd1, Maurizio Ronci2,3, Martin R. Johnston4, Taryn Guinan2, Nicolas H. Voelcker2 & Kirsten Benkendorff5 Despite significant advances in chemical ecology, the biodistribution, temporal changes and ecological function of most marine secondary metabolites remain unknown. One such example is the association between choline esters and Tyrian purple precursors in muricid molluscs. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) on nano-structured surfaces has emerged as a sophisticated platform for spatial analysis of low molecular mass metabolites in heterogeneous tissues, ideal for low abundant secondary metabolites. Here we applied desorption-ionisation on porous silicon (DIOS) to examine in situ changes in biodistribution over the reproductive cycle. DIOS-MSI showed muscle-relaxing choline ester murexine to co-localise with tyrindoxyl sulfate in the biosynthetic hypobranchial glands. But during egg-laying, murexine was transferred to the capsule gland, and then to the egg capsules, where chemical ripening resulted in Tyrian purple formation. Murexine was found to tranquilise the larvae and may relax the reproductive tract. This study shows that DIOS-MSI is a powerful tool that can provide new insights into marine chemo-ecology. Secondary metabolites are known to chemically mediate intra- and interspecies interactions between organisms1. In molluscs, secondary metabolites have been detected and identified during mate attraction2, defence3,4, predatory behaviour5, anti-fouling6,7 and reproduction8. The importance of understanding the mechanisms behind these chemical interactions within a species cannot be underestimated, particularly when specific secondary metabolites impart a competitive advantage. -

The Development of Amphibola Crenata (Martyn)
The Development of Amphibola crenata (Martyn). By Winifred Clieyne Faruie, M.A., Geraldine, New Zealand. With 13 Text-figures. IN 1919 I gave an account of the general anatomy of this interesting New Zealand littoral Pulmonate, and in the course of that account showed that the genital duct is single ; it extends from ovotestis to genital pore in one undivided canal; in other words the different structures identified by Quoy and Gaimard, and by Hutton respectively, as oviduct do not exist.1 At the time when that article was published I was not in a position to state how the eggs were conveyed to the exterior, and proposed to gather material month by month till the date of egg-laying was determined and their method of passage was ascertained. As a result of numerous observations extending over two years I am now able to satisfy myself on these two points : (1) That the egg-cells descend by way of the hermaphrodite duct through the coiled non-glandular portion of the common duct. x On p. 84 I wrote : ' Sections across the right side of the body show no trace of a duct between the rectum and the genital duct, whereas sections across the genital duct itself show the existence of a deep fold in its wall, which serves to divide the duct into two portions, presumably, during the passage of the ova and spermatozoa.' I cut serial sections again across the same region when the animal was engaged in laying eggs, but with the same negative result: I can, therefore, only come to the conclusion that a distinct and separate oviduct does not exist, though unfortunately I was not able to detect ova actually in the lower region of the common duct.
