    Pitt Rivers Museum ms collections Spencer papers Box 1 G Miscellaneous Warning: species names etc may not be transcribed accurately Letter G1 Cher Monsieur J’ai reçu remerciement votre lettre, et les specimens que vous avez en l'obligeance de m’envoyer et pour lesquels je vous adresse mes meilleurs remerciements. Ils sont arrivés en bon état, mais le bouchon de liège était probablement mauvais, car il ne restait plus d'alcool dans la bouteille. Cependant les spécimens ne me paraissent pas avoir souffert, et leur étude m'intéressera beaucoup. J’aurais voulu vous envoyer en retour la forme d’hydroide alliée aux Ceratillives dont je vous avais parlé, mais je rien possède malheureusement qu’un bien petit spécimen et je n’ai pas encore eu le temps de l'inventorier. Mais j'espère beaucoup que nous en retrouver d’autres à Naples cet hiver, et je me ferais alors un plaisir de vous en envoyer un échantillon. Si au contraire nous n'en retrouvons pas, je vous enverrai la moitié de mon specimen dès que je l’aurai étudié. En attendant, je vous expédie dans un bocal quelques formes d’hydroides de la Méditerranée qui pourront peut-être trouver une place dans votre musée. J'espère qu'ils arriveront en bon état. Si vous désirez avoir certaines espèces particulières soit d’hydroides soit d'autres Invertébrés marins veuillez me l'écrire et je ferai mon possible pour vous les procurer. N’oubliez pas aussi que tous les myrroides (même déjà connus) que vous pourrez m’envoyer me feront le plus grand plaisir, et me seront d’une grand utilité pour ma monographie.

  • Defending the Little Desert: the Rise of Ecological Consciousness in Australia
    Full citation: Robin, Libby. Defending the Little Desert: The Rise of Ecological Consciousness in Australia. Melbourne: Melbourne University Publishing Ltd, 1994. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6811 Rights: Copyright © 1994 Libby Robin. All rights reserved. Made available on the Environment & Society Portal for nonprofit educational uses only. Introduction The Little Desert At a time when we are told that primary producers are facing many problems in satisfactorily disposing of their present level of production, it seems incredible that Sir William McDonald is intent on opening up yet more Crown Land . [The Little Desert is] known to be only marginal country—requiring . large capital expenditure and . highly expert farm management. No complete fauna study of the Little Desert has ever been made and it is more than likely that much knowledge is yet to be gained from the area. Gwynnyth Taylor, President of the Victorian National Parks Association, in a letter to the Age, 28 April 1969 In the Melbourne suburb of Greensborough, Valerie Honey read this letter and saw red. Sir William McDonald, the Victorian Minister for Lands, was proposing to put farms on the Little Desert, an isolated area of undeveloped country near her birthplace in Western Victoria. Honey had nostalgic memories of visiting the area near her uncle’s farm, where she sometimes spent school holidays: I didn’t know it was the Little Desert . we used to call it the ‘scrub’ and we went out there and I was crammed in the old truck cabin with some other farmers and my uncle . It was sunset and the sun was going with rays across this little salt lake, just one of the several salt lakes out there.

VAndenBerg research associate, geoscience, Museums victoria, gpo Box 666, Melbourne victoria 3001, australia correspondence: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: the topmost lancefieldian (la3, earliest floian, early ordovician) Paratetragraptus approximatus Biozone of victoria contains a previously undocumented graptolite fauna that includes, in addition to the nominative species, Paratetragraptus cooperi sp. nov., P. thomassmithi sp. nov., P. acclinans, P.? henrywilliamsi sp. nov., and Tshallograptus cymulus gen. et sp. nov., interpreted as the direct ancestor of Tshallograptus fruticosus (J. hall). taxa such as Kinnegraptus, Laxograptus, Pseudobryograptus, Phyllograptus, Tetragraptus and Loganograptus also make their first appearance in this zone. the succeeding Bendigonian stage, traditionally subdivided into four biozones using overlapping ranges of P. approximatus and the four- and three-stiped morphs of the T. fruticosus clade, is revised to accommodate the earlier than documented appearance of the 3-stiped morph, here renamed Tshallograptus tridens sp. nov., in the Be1 Biozone. the new subdivision consists of three biozones: Be1 P. approximatus + T. fruticosus Biozone, Be2+3 T. fruticosus + T. tridens Biozone, and Be4 T. tridens Biozone.

Introduction The Little Desert At a time when we are told that primary producers are facing many problems in satisfactorily disposing of their present level of production, it seems incredible that Sir William McDonald is intent on opening up yet more Crown Land . [The Little Desert is] known to be only marginal country—requiring . large capital expenditure and . highly expert farm management. No complete fauna study of the Little Desert has ever been made and it is more than likely that much knowledge is yet to be gained from the area. Gwynnyth Taylor, President of the Victorian National Parks Association, in a letter to the Age, 28 April 1969 In the Melbourne suburb of Greensborough, Valerie Honey read this letter and saw red. Sir William McDonald, the Victorian Minister for Lands, was proposing to put farms on the Little Desert, an isolated area of undeveloped country near her birthplace in Western Victoria. Honey had nostalgic memories of visiting the area near her uncle’s farm, where she sometimes spent school holidays: I didn’t know it was the Little Desert . we used to call it the ‘scrub’ and we went out there and I was crammed in the old truck cabin with some other farmers and my uncle . It was sunset and the sun was going with rays across this little salt lake, just one of the several salt lakes out there.

  • THOMAS SERGEANT HALL, M.A., D.Sc. BOEN 1858
    144 Obituary—Thomas Sergeant Hall, D.Sc. His work extended to every department of botany. Perhaps the most important of all was that on fossil botany. He was an intimate friend of the late Professor Williamson. His Pal&ophytologie, published in 1887, was translated for the Oxford Press in 1892. In it the •author impresses on botanists the value and significance of the geological record as affecting plants. Of special importance may be mentioned his paper on Bennettites •Gibsonianus, a fossil Cycad from the Isle of "Wight; on the •Cycadofilices, Protopitys, Medullosa, etc.; on Devonian and Lower Carboniferous Plants; and on Psaronius. He was elected a Foreign Member of the Linnean Society in 1887, •of the Eoyal Society in 1902, and of the Geological Society in 1906. He received the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society in 1911, and was made a Sc.D. of the University of Cambridge at the Darwin celebration in 1909. [D. H. S. From Nature, January 13, 1916.] THOMAS SERGEANT HALL, M.A., D.Sc. BOEN 1858. DIED DECEMBER 21, 1915. A SEKIOUS gap has been made in the ranks of Australian geologists by the deeply regretted death of Dr. Hall, on December, 21, 1915, at the comparatively early age of 57. Dr. Hall occupied the post of Lecturer in Biology at the Melbourne University, where he was greatly esteemed as a teacher. He was' perhaps better known abroad as an ardent geological worker amongst the Victorian graptolitic and Tertiary rocks. In 1899 he contributed an important paper to this Magazine on " The Graptolite Rocks of Victoria, Australia".
