So far Javesella pellucida has only been found in two localities, which also happen to be old Norse settlements, so a human introduction is a definite possibil- ity. However, with Lolium perenne being an ingredient in the grass-mixtures used for lawns, there seem to be many possible sites in the future, certainly Javesella pellucida can be found on most lawns in more south- ern latitudes; it is widespread in Europe in- cluding Norway, Scotland and Iceland.

    The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators

    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

    Weather and Pests

    Volume 52 Number 18 August 10, 2007 Weather and Pests Widespread rainfall this week brought variable levels of moisture to the state. Portions of the southern agricultural areas received generous amounts of precipitation, and this has improved the prospects for late-planted sweet corn, soybeans and alfalfa regrowth. High temperatures and humidity favored an increase in some diseases that were relatively inactive during the prolonged period of dry weather. Crops in the central and northern areas remain under severe drought stress. Corn growers from the east central area report poor grain fill and attribute it to the continued dry conditions. Second and third crop hay cuttings are short and yields are generally below normal. Corn rootworm beetles are now very active and being encountered in high numbers in several counties.

The objective of the Commission, as stated in the Agreement, is to “... contribute through regional consultation and cooperation, to the conservation, rational management and study of marine mammals in the North Atlantic.” The Council, which is the decision-making body of the Commission, held its inaugural meeting in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, 10-11 September 1992 (NAMMCO/1), and has convened four times since: in Tromsø, Norway 19-20 January 1993 (NAMMCO/2); Reykjavik, Iceland, 1-2 July 1993 (NAMMCO/3); Tromsø, Norway 24-25 February 1994 (NAMMCO/4); and most recently in Nuuk, Greenland, 21-23 February 1995 (NAMMCO/5). The present volume contains proceedings from NAMMCO/5 - the fifth meeting of the Council, which was held at the Hotel Hans Egede in Nuuk, Greenland 21-23 February 1995 (Section 1), as well as the reports of the 1995 meetings of the Management Committee (Section 2) and the Scientific Committee (Section 3), which presented their conclusions to the Council at its fifth meeting.
