The skeleton is being prepared for the Otago Museum. XLIX.--0u the Geological Structure of the Amazons Valley. By Professor JAMES OI~TON~. THE valley of the Amazons is a very shallow basin of vast extent and of an oval shap% with the small end pointing east- ward. Between December and June a large part of it resembles a huge undrained swamp~ and people sail half the year above districts where for the other half they walk. Were the forest removed fi'om the Lower Amazons~ a great nmd flat would be exposed (lower than the island of Maraj6)~ threaded by a network of deep channels~ partially covered by every tide~ and deluged by the annual flood. From the marked feature (first noticed by Chandless) that the tributaries enter the main stream at a very acute ongl% and have exceedingly tortuous courses~ it is infen'ed that the rest of the valley is a nearly level plain gently inclined from west to east~ and with very little slope on either side toward the centre of drainage.

Morehead, Jr. On the Campus not only gives a stunning perspective of the campus but also has great significance to The University of Georgia because of the artist who created it, Professor Emeritus Lamar Dodd. Without a doubt, Professor Dodd has singlehandedly contributed more to the cause of art at this institution and at the Georgia Museum of Art than any other individual. Born in 1909 and reared in LaGrange, Georgia, Professor Dodd joined the faculty of The University of Georgia in 1937 and a year later became head of the Department of Art, a position he held for the next 35 years. He was responsible for great expansion of the department, its facilities, its staff, and its programs, and was an impetus for the founding of the Georgia Museum of Art in 1948. He remains a strong advocate of the arts in the community and continues his support of the Museum through his contributions as well as his participation as a patron. A prolific and widely honored painter, Professor Dodd has had more than one hundred one-man shows, including twenty in New York City. His works have been in major national and regional exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe and are in numerous public collections, including those of the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract According to most recent research, Indians in Ecuador’s Amazonian region (the Oriente) lived out- side of modern markets and political systems until around 40 years ago. But this view obscures the essential role of indigenous labor in earlier cycles of extractivism and exploitation. Beginning in the 18th century, lowland Quichua and other ethnic groups were defined as much by their place within long-distance economic networks as they were by their languages or cultures. Using newly discovered historical records and other sources, we can now reconstruct the ebb and flow of commodity booms in Amazonian Ecuador and their impact on indigenous populations. Keywords Amazon, Ecuador, Ethnogenesis, Indians, Population The Indian serves the white man because he believes that he has no other choice…the day that he knows for sure that he is free, he will never serve them again, and they will be forced to work with their own hands or leave their homes.

  • Robert S. Duncanson, Race, and Auguste Comte's Positivism In
    Robert S. Duncanson 79 Robert S. Duncanson, Race, and Auguste Comte’s Positivism in Cincinnati Wendy J. Katz On June 29, 1871, African American landscape painter Robert S. Duncan- son [Figure 1] wrote a letter in response to his son’s accusation that Duncanson had tried to pass for white. By that point in his career, Duncanson, who had begun his career as an artisanal house painter, had achieved renown as an artist, or, as he said, a fame “second to none” in the United States. In his letter, written from Cincinnati, the artist first noted that he had recently received an offer of financial support from one whom he describes as a member of the very race that his son despises—and notes his son’s own condition of financial dependence. He went on to say, “my heart has always been with the down-trodden race,” but that he had the right to choose his own company. Then, in a clever turn of phrase that both emphasizes the actuality of a black and white racial binary and then rejects it as false, or at least as irrelevant to him, he concluded by saying: “Mark what I say here in black and white: I have no color on the brain, all I have on the brain is paint,” and finally, “I care not for color: ‘Love is my principle, order is the basis, progress is the end.’”1 That final phrase is a direct reference to sociologist Auguste Comte’s “L’Amour pour principe, l’Ordre pour base et le Progress pour but,” a mot- to that inspired many leaders and thinkers not only in the English-speaking world, but also in Latin America.
