I am deeply grateful to all of the committed, cre- ative, and spirited employees (both on and off-island), board members, interns, community members, visitors and volun- teers who make the Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership possible. I am especially grateful to Cait Cleaver for her oversight and support throughout this process. Sam Hallowell, Pheobe Jekielek, Jenn Page, Oakley Jackson, Josie Gates, Micah Conkling, Alice Anderson, and Chloe Tremper were all incredibly gracious and helpful in integrating me into the every- day functions of the island and taking the time to lend me their own knowledge, experiences, and the occasional boat ride. I could not have asked for a better support team on the Vermont side, including my advisor, Dr. Jeff Hughes, and commit- tee members Dr. David Barrington and Dr. Josef Gorres. Their thoughtful comments, questions, and insistence on quality made this project a piece of work I am proud of. Their sincere interest in my professional and academic development is a gift whose value is beyond measure. 1 Executive Summary In the summer of 2015, I conducted an ecological assessment of Hurricane Island, a 125-acre island in the West Penobscot Bay of Maine. -

In addition much unpublished information was received from Mrs H.B. Gill, Messrs J.R. Ford, S.A. Parker, R.L. Pink, R.K. Carruthers, L. Neilsen, D. Howe, C.A.C. Cameron, Bro. Matthew Heron, Dr D.L. Serventy and the late W.E. Alexander. These data formed the basis of the List of Queensland birds (Stort 1973, Spec. Pubis West. Aust. Mus. No. 5). During the last decade the increase in our knowledge of Queensland birds has been such as to warrant a re-writing of the List. Much of this progress has been due to three things: (1) survey work by J.R. Ford, A. Gieensmith and N.C.H. Reid in central Queensland and southern Cape York Peninsula (Ford et al. 1981, Sunbird 11: 58-70), (2) research into the higher categories ofclassification, especially C.G. -

While a considerable advance on the previous edition, it is still very incomplete, and doubtless some inaccuracies occur in it. A great deal of work remains to be done before a complete gazetteer of maritime and riverine places in China can be compiled, and there is room for much useful work in this connexion by the various ports. -

Blumbergs' List of Canada Corporations Act Non-Profits That
www.canadiancharitylaw.ca Blumbergs’ List of Canada Corporations Act non-profits that may need to continue to the CNCA By Mark Blumberg (April 28, 2014) The federal government as part of its Open Data initiative provides a complete list of Federal corporations (for-profit and non-profit) in XML format. We thought it might be helpful to look at which Canadian non-profits corporations are still under the old Canada Corporations Act (CCA) and may need to continue under the Canada Not-for profit Corporations Act (CNCA). Background The CNCA was brought into force in 2011 and will replace the Canada Corporations Act (CCA). The CNCA will be of particular interest to Canadian non-profit organization and charities that are incorporated federally under the CCA as they will have to file documents to continue under the CNCA or face dissolution. CCA corporations have until October 17, 2014 to complete the continuance. While the implementation of the CNCA provides a good opportunity for Federal non-profit corporations to assess their governance practices and make improvements, the failure to act may have dire consequences for some organizations. www.canadiancharitylaw.ca A few points to note about the list: 1) Many of these corporations were created a long time ago and have been dormant for many years. For many of them, mandatory dissolution will not have any negative impact and they may actually welcome the closure that dissolution provides. 2) The list contains all names (English, French and Old/New) of corporations. Therefore, although there are 34,000 names there are in fact less actual corporations. -
