BIC-1942.Pdf TWELFTH REPORT OF The Cornwall Bird Watching and Preservation Society. 1942. Edited by B. H. RYVES, D. VALENTINE and H.M. QUICK. The Society has kept its end up well during the fourth year of the War. Membership has more than maintained its level of 1941 and the Balance Sheet tells eloquently of the excellent state of our Funds and gives further testimony to the value of our property, the Walmsley Sanctuary. No new Bird legislation has been enacted during the year. The 0. Regan visited the County again but we have no information of the exact number of Peregrine Falcons shot. The Rooks Order, 1940- As far as we are aware, the provisions of the Order do not appear to have been applied to the Rooks in Cornwall. Protection of Birds. Four Watchers have again been employed, and they have done their work well. Among the notable birds recorded in this Report are a Black Kite from Scilly and Whooper Swans and a Ruddy Sheld-Duck from the Sanctuary. The latter may have been an escape, but the balance of evidence favours its having been a genuine wild bird. Fulmars are recorded again, but there is no evidence yet of breeding having commenced. We proffer the Society's thanks to Mr. Noel Humphrys for his kindness in acting again as Honorary Auditor of the Accounts. As we are going to Press early this year, we are not in receipt of Reports from Clifton College, or from Gresham's School, but we look forward to them in due time. Concurrently with this Report, is published a General Index of the Society's first ten Annual Reports which, it is believed, will fill a long-felt want. It is to be hoped that, in the future, it may be found possible to publish Indexes at more frequent intervals. 2 MEMBERSHIP. We regret to announce the deaths of Mr. H. E. T. Wilkinson, Major John Williams, the Rev. A. A. Woodward and Major W. Luard. The following has resigned membership:—Mrs. Cobbold- Sawle. Four new Members have joined the Society during the year and their names are included in the list below. The total of Ordinary Members is 204, two more than the total of last year. We cannot but regard this as satis­ factory. ***** LIST OF MEMBERS FOR 1942. (a) Honorary Member, Palmer, J. L., Editor-in-Chief, Ministry of Information S.

As part of the regular monitoring programme of the SAC, I and some volunteers from Cornwall Wildlife Trust (to whom I say a big thank you for all your efforts) came down to the Helford on the good boat EVA on the 17th July to see how the seagrass was getting on and to see if it had spread into the adjacent moorings. Although the weather was not perfect and the visibility not good, the team were able to carry out three transect swims measuring the percentage cover of the plants, makeup of the seabed and were also able to map the edges of the bed. Preliminary analysis of the data show that the seagrass is in good health and that the extent has not changed significantly from the previous survey. However, there is some evidence that the seagrass has spread slightly westwards and isolated clumps can now be found in and around the moorings. I hope that we will be able to repeat this study next and subsequent years and also include some more detailed work on both the health of the seagrass and a more accurate survey of the density and individual plant length of the grass on the Helford.

    Coastal tufa and speleothems of Prussia and Stackhouse coves, South-West Cornwall COASTAL TUFA AND SPELEOTHEMS OF PRUSSIA AND STACKHOUSE COVES , SOUTH -W EST CORNWALL F.M.P. H OWI E 1 AND P.J. E ALE Y 2 Howie, F.M.P. and Ealey, P.J. 2011. Coastal tufa and speleothems of Prussia and Stackhouse coves, south-west Cornwall. Geoscience in South-West England , 12 , 278-287. Within Mount’s Bay on the South-West coast of Cornwall, Late Quaternary marine transgressions have substantially incised faulted Late Palaeozoic sedimentary and intrusive rocks to produce a series of coves, zawns (geos) and littoral caves. Prussia and Stackhouse coves exhibit particularly good evidence for at least two former sea-level stands. Fault-controlled caves, cliff-top springs and man-made modifications, dating back to at least the late 18th Century, have produced a distinctive suite of tufa and speleothem deposits. Flowstones and coralloids, only identified in Stackhouse Cove, can be dated to the historic period. Tufa deposition predates the speleothems and the final stages of the postglacial sea level rise and has continued into the historic period. Analyses were undertaken on tufa and speleothem samples, which included coralloids, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and powder X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The analyses revealed tufas mainly composed of calcite and coralloids, associated with biofilms, containing monohydrocalcite and gypsum. 1 29 Pendarves Road, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 2AJ, U.K. 2 8 Minster Fields, Manaccan, Helston, Cornwall, TR12 6JG.

Miss Waltpn Evans was elected an additional member of the Committee and the name of Mr. J.

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the Annual Report for 1933 and the Treasurer's Account, expressed pleasure at the satisfactory progress of the Society during the year. Members were reminded that the Secretaries had acquired a stock of an admirable Summary of the Wild Birds Protection Acts, compiled by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. These are available to any member at the cost price of sixpence a copy. Several Members present volunteered to take part in the Spring Migration Scheme under the auspices of the Western Morning News, referred to on page 3 of the Annual 2 Report of 1933.

  • Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE
    CORNISH ARCHAEOLOGY No. 25 (1986) Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE The Concept of a Bronze 'Age' Any review of the Bronze Age in Cornwall, or indeed in other areas of the British Isles, must today present the writer with a very different prospect to that which lay before Bernard Wailes 28 years ago, although much of the basic information remains the same. We now know, for example, that metallurgy was introduced into these islands before the middle of the third millennium bc, probably from two continental quarters, the Rhineland and the Atlantic region. Our period has lengthened and the calibration of radiocarbon dates means that it not only overlaps the Late Neolithic but also merges into the Iron Age in the mid-first millennium BC, giving a total of some 2000 years. The accumulation of data and dates, togther with advances in excavation and research techniques and the recognition of regional variation, make the whole concept of a Bronze 'age' far more complex than hitherto. In the 1960s, HawkeV scheme for the divisions of the British Bronze Age provided the framework (Hawkes, 1960) and was widely accepted in principle. As more radiocarbon dates have become available, there have nevertheless been surprises and many refinements have been applied, allowing a broader, more flexible approach into which ceramics and metalwork can be fitted. Today the most widely accepted scheme is that propounded by Burgess (in 5/0 wo OE AGE SIES SS 00 SX - 2,0 Fig 1 Location map showing principal sites mentioned in the text. Settlements or occupation
