    Q 11 U563 CRLSSI BULLETIN 147 MAP U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM 's SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 147 ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN SAMANA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY HERBERT W. KRIEGER Curator of Ethnology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1929 For sale by ths Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 40 Cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organ- izations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletin, the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasion- ally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, cata- logues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Epidemics of arboviral disease, such as Zika 13 and dengue, also cause significant disruption to health services at local and national 14 levels. This study examined 2014-16 Zika and dengue epidemic data at the sub- 15 national level to characterise transmission across the Dominican Republic.

    The Study on the Integrated Rural Development of Former Sugarcane Plantation Area and Final Report the Pilot Project of La Luisa Area, Monte Plata Province 5.4 Model Area of Group C : Esperanza III Area 5.4.1 Natural Conditions (1) Topography and Geology Esperanza III, which belongs to Valverde Province in the northwest of the Dominican Republic, is located at the 12km northeast of Mao where is the seat of the provincial office and at the 33km northwest of Santiago where is the second largest city in the country. The area is at longitude 71°12’ W and latitude 18°27’ N. The farmland of the area is situated between the Yaque del Norte River and Northern Mountains and declines gently from north to south within 80m to 100m in altitude. The area mainly consists of fluvial deposits such as muck, limy sand, clay and gravel in the Quaternary by the Yaque del Norte River and its tributaries. (2) Meteorology Esperanza III is located in Cibao that is a granary of the Dominican Republic, and is 12-km far from Mao where meteorological data are collected. In Mao where is in the middle of Cibao Valley, annual rainfall records about 700-mm but Esperanza III is supposed to have more rainfall, more than 1000 mm, since the area is at the foot of Septentrional Mountains. A vegetation map shows that Esperanza III is a part of subtropical dry forest as the same as Tamayo. The meteorological data in Mao indicate that there are two rainy seasons (from May to June and from September to October) but more than six months have less than 5 rainy days.

    Boletín de Geología Vol. 33, N° 1, enero-junio de 2011 SUCESIÓN DE AMONITAS DEL CRETÁCICO SUPERIOR (CENOMANIANO – CONIACIANO) DE LA PARTE MÁS ALTA DE LA FORMACIÓN HONDITA Y DE LA FORMACIÓN LOMA GORDA EN LA QUEBRADA BAMBUCÁ, AIPE - HUILA (COLOMBIA, S. A.) Pedro Patarroyo1 RESUMEN La sección de la quebrada Bambucá (Aipe - Huila) posee una buena exposición de los depósitos del Cretácico del Valle Superior del Magdalena. De la parte alta de la Formación Hondita se recolectaron Acanthoceras sp. y Rhynchostreon sp. del Cenomaniano superior. Dentro del segmento inferior de la Formación Loma Gorda se hallaron Choffaticeras (C.) cf. segne, Fagesia cf. catinus, Neoptychites cf. andinus, Mitonia gracilis, Morrowites sp., Nannovascoceras ? sp., Quitmaniceras ? sp., Benueites ? sp. junto con Mytiloides kossmati, M. goppelnensis y Anomia sp. del Turoniano inferior. Estratigráficamente arriba aparecen Paramammites ? sp., Hoplitoides sp. H. ingens, H. cf. lagiraldae, Codazziceras ospinae, Allocrioceras sp., que pueden estar representando entre el Turoniano inferior y medio. Para la parte alta de este segmento se encontraron Prionocycloceras sp. P. guayabanum, Reesidites subtuberculatum, Subprionotropis colombianus, Mytiloides scupini, Dydimotis sp., Gauthiericeras sp., Anagaudryceras ? sp., Eulophoceras jacobi, Paralenticeras sieversi, Hauericeras cf. madagascarensis, Peroniceras (P.) subtricarinatum, Forresteria (F.) sp., Barroisiceras cf. onilahyense, Ankinatsytes venezolanus que abarcan entre el Turoniano superior y el Coniaciano. Con base en la fauna colectada no es posible establecer los límites Cenomaniano/Turoniano y Turoniano/Coniaciano. Palabras clave: Amonitas, Cretácico superior, Valle Superior del Magdalena, Aipe-Huila-Colombia. UPPER CRETACEOUS AMMONITE SUCCESSION (CENOMANIAN – CONIACIAN) RELATED TO THE UPPER HONDITA AND LOMA GORDA FORMATIONS ALONG THE BAMBUCÁ CREEK, AIPE - HUILA (COLOMBIA, S.A.) ABSTRACT The Bambucá creek section (Aipe - Huila) shows a very good exposition of the Upper Magdalena Valley Cretaceous deposits.
