  • <H1>The Naturalist on the River Amazons By
    The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates Scanned by Martin Adamson [email protected] The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates AN APPRECIATION BY CHARLES DARWIN Author of "The Origin of Species," etc. From Natural History Review, vol. iii. 1863. IN April, 1848, the author of the present volume left England in company with Mr. A. R. Wallace--"who has since acquired wide fame in connection with the Darwinian theory of Natural Selection"--on page 1 / 626 a joint expedition up the river Amazons, for the purpose of investigating the Natural History of the vast wood-region traversed by that mighty river and its numerous tributaries. Mr. Wallace returned to England after four years' stay, and was, we believe, unlucky enough to lose the greater part of his collections by the shipwreck of the vessel in which he had transmitted them to London. Mr. Bates prolonged his residence in the Amazon valley seven years after Mr. Wallace's departure, and did not revisit his native country again until 1859. Mr. Bates was also more fortunate than his companion in bringing his gathered treasures home to England in safety. So great, indeed, was the mass of specimens accumulated by Mr. Bates during his eleven years' researches, that upon the working out of his collection, which has been accomplished (or is now in course of being accomplished) by different scientific naturalists in this country, it has been ascertained that representatives of no less than 14,712 species are amongst them, of which about 8000 were previously unknown to science.

  • Games and Computation Homework #1: Game Classifications
    Games and Computation Homework #1: Game Classifications For each of the following games, classify each as a combinatorial game, a game of chance, or a strategic game according to its most natural game model (i.e. mathematical representation). Enter your answers online in the HW1 Moodle quiz. Assumptions: Assume that chance events that occur before the start of the game play (e.g. a face-up deal of card pack, the choice of a secret word) are not part of the game play model. Classify according to play after this event. Assume that chance events that occur during the game (e.g. rolling dice, drawing face-down cards) are part of the probabilistic game model. Strategic games may have chance events. What differentiates a game of chance from a strategic game with chance is whether it is a game of perfect or imperfect information, respectively. In all games marked “(solitaire)”, do not treat other non-choice-making players (e.g. constrained clue givers) as active players in the game model. Games: 1. Amazons (El Juego de las Amazonas) 2. Breakthrough 3. Can’t Stop 4. Connect6 5. Dudo (a.k.a. Liar’s Dice, Bluff, Call My Bluff, Perudo, etc.) 6. Freecell (solitaire) 7. Gin Rummy 8. Goofspiel (a.k.a. GOPS) 9. Halma 10. Hex 11. Jotto (solitaire) 12. Pentominoes (Golomb's Game) 13. Poker Squares (solitaire) 14. President 15. Yahtzee Ask yourself these questions about each game: Is there perfect information? That is, does each active player have all of the relevant information of all other active players1 for making the best decision? If not, it is a strategic game.
