The first was concerned with ethnology in museums, the second with Algonkian linguistics, the third with band societies, and the fourth with cultural ecology. This, the fifth in the series, provided an opportunity for seventeen scholars to meet, discuss current research and make future plans for investi­ gation among the Northern Athapaskan tribes of Alaska and Canada. Specialists from four of the major anthropological disciplines— i.e., ethnology, archaeology, ethnohistory and linguistics participated. Unfortunately there were no human biologists or ethnomusicologists present, thus these two areas of research represented our major lacunae. Those in attendance were: A. McFadyen Clark, National Museum of Man Dr. Donald W. Clark, National Museum of Man Mr. Clark A. Davis, formerly National Museum of Man Ms. Beryl C. Gillespie, University of Iowa Dr. Frederica de Laguna, Bryn Mawr College Dr. June Helm, University of Iowa Dr. John Honigmann, University of North Carolina Dr. Robert Howren, University of Iowa 2 Dr. Michael Krauss, University of Alaska Dr. Catharine McClellan, University of Wisconsin Dr. Robert McKennan, Dartmouth College Dr. Richard Morlan, National Museum of Man Dr. William Noble, McMaster University Dr. Cornelius Osgood, Yale University Dr. Joel Savishinsky, Adelphi University Dr. Richard Slobodin, McMaster University Mr. J.G.E. Smith, University of Waterloo Each provided a paper and all are presented in this two-volume Mercury, with the exception of those of Dr. Krauss and Dr. McKennan. The conference represented the culmination of several years of discussion and planning between National Museum Staff Ethnologists and other Anthro­ pologists who had become increasingly aware of the need to reassess the present status of Northern Athapaskan studies and to establish guide lines for future research. A preliminary planning session was held during the joint American Ethnological-Northeastern Anthropological Association meeting at Carleton University, Ottawa, in May 1970. At that meeting general plans for the Athapaskan Conference were established, participants were tentatively selected and special topics for discussion were outlined. Prior to the conference copies of the papers of each participant were distributed for perusal by the others, thus with the exception of Cornelius Osgood's initial paper, "Athapaskan?", no papers were formally read at the meeting. Instead, short summaries were given, then each paper was opened to general discussion. While discussions were of great value, it was decided that the results should be embodied in the revised editions of the papers, rather than being published separately as comments. 3 The presence of Cornelius Osgood, internationally known scholar from the Peabody Museum, Yale University, who is the recognized "Father of Northern Athapaskan Ethnographic Studies," offered a unique opportunity for other scholars to discuss individual areal problems with him. Having him in attendance also provided a rare opportunity for all to evaluate changes in method and approach, as well as changes in Athapaskan culture, which have taken place during the past forty-seven years since he began his initial work among the Northern Athapaskans. Our initial intent was to dedicate both the Conference

Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 66 p. This publication will enrich public understanding about the important contributions to science made at this and other outdoor laboratories. Coram, and other long-range research sites, provide scientific knowledge to assist resource professionals with the development of sound land management principles. This knowledge ensures healthy, sustainable, and productive ecosystems while meeting social and economic needs. Major research at Coram includes the regeneration of young forests and the interaction of flora, fauna, and water to a wide range of forest treatments. Ongoing studies include: • cone and seed development and dispersal • natural and artificial regeneration after harvest cuttings • effects of stand culture treatment on forest development • insect and disease interactions • effects of the amount of wood harvest on site productivity • influence of silvicultural practices on watershed, esthetics, and wildlife values The Coram Experimental Forest is used cooperatively by Federal, university, and private scientists. About 340 ha of the forest are designated as the Coram Research Natural Area where virgin conditions are permanently maintained for research and monitoring. Coram, designated a Biosphere Reserve in 1976, is part of an international network that is devoted to the conservation of nature and scientific research in the service of humans.

But Before introducing the content of Volume 2 I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the readers who manifested their appreciation for our first Volume. In terms of both, feedback and copies downloaded, the September Insect Poetic issue is to date our most successful. Volume 2 opens with an interview to Poul Beckmann, the photographer responsible for the fascinating ‘Living Jewels 1&2’, the books picturing beetles in an unusual way, standing with one foot in the future of close-up photography and one in the past of the entomology display cabinet. By now you may have realised that here at Antennae we have a soft spot for entomology cabinets, so we decided to indulge further looking at the singular case of the Marquis Collection brought to surface by Lane Hall who is also responsible for the current front cover.

  • General Geology
    3 GENERAL GEOLOGY introduction: The Unuk River-Salmon River-Anyox map-area includes partof the con- tact of the eastern Coast Plutonic Complex with the west-central of margin the successor Bowser Basin. Geologically, geographically, and economically the country rocksof the area form a well-defined entity that the writer has called the Stewart Complex. Sedimen- tary, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks bordering the Coast Plutonic Complex range in age from Middle Triassic to Quaternary. The detailed stratigraphy of the entire area is not completely known, principally because of the extensive icefields, the poor accessibility, and the complex nature of the Mesozoic succession. North of Stewart, fossil evidence coupled with certain marker horizons has been to used outline and separate Triassic and Jurassic formations. Permian rocks were not specifically studied, although thick Permian carbonate units occur along the lskut River and immediatelyeast ofthe Bell-Irving Riverat Oweegee Peak (Fig. 1). In the map-area southof Stewart, fossils are rare; in the Kitsault River section, Hanson (1931) and Carter (personal communication) collected undiag- nostic Mesozoic fossils. Southof Stewart, identificationof Hazelton Group formations is still tentative becauseit is based on structural and lithological similarities and homotaxy. The natureof the Permian-Triassic boundarywas not determined in the map-area.To the north toward Telegraph Creek, where both Permian and Triassic rocks are well exposed, the nature of the Permian-Triassic boundaryis still uncertain, even though the Permian rocks which probably underlie part of the Bowser Basin have been studied by several petroleum exploration companies. Fusilinid studies on thick carbonate rocks exposed along the Scud River (Pitcher, 1960) indicate an Early and Middle Permian assemblage.

Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy Management Plan i Plan Highlights Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy is within the asserted territories of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation, Heiltsuk Nation, and Gitga’at First Nation. The conservancy is home to the uncommon Spirit Bear, and has high cultural and coastal marine values. The Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy Management Plan identifies objectives and strategies that focus on: • protecting historical and current First Nation habitation, harvesting and hunting areas and activities, and associated cultural, economic and biological values; • providing for and promoting present and future First Nations access to those areas and activities; • maintaining the ecological integrity of the conservancy; • maintaining representative flora and fauna, and protecting at risk plant communities, ecosystems and wildlife species in both terrestrial and marine environments; and • protecting the wilderness values associated with key recreational activities and sites that, in turn, support opportunities for wildlife viewing, wilderness-based boating, kayaking and salt water angling.
