    A REVISION OF TRISETUM Victor L. Finot,' Paul M. Peterson,3 (POACEAE: POOIDEAE: Fernando 0 Zuloaga,* Robert J. v sorene, and Oscar Mattnei AVENINAE) IN SOUTH AMERICA1 ABSTRACT A taxonomic treatment of Trisetum Pers. for South America, is given. Eighteen species and six varieties of Trisetum are recognized in South America. Chile (14 species, 3 varieties) and Argentina (12 species, 5 varieties) have the greatest number of taxa in the genus. Two varieties, T. barbinode var. sclerophyllum and T longiglume var. glabratum, are endemic to Argentina, whereas T. mattheii and T nancaguense are known only from Chile. Trisetum andinum is endemic to Ecuador, T. macbridei is endemic to Peru, and T. foliosum is endemic to Venezuela. A total of four species are found in Ecuador and Peru, and there are two species in Venezuela and Colombia. The following new species are described and illustrated: Trisetum mattheii Finot and T nancaguense Finot, from Chile, and T pyramidatum Louis- Marie ex Finot, from Chile and Argentina. The following two new combinations are made: T barbinode var. sclerophyllum (Hack, ex Stuck.) Finot and T. spicatum var. cumingii (Nees ex Steud.) Finot. A key for distinguishing the species and varieties of Trisetum in South America is given. The names Koeleria cumingii Nees ex Steud., Trisetum sect. Anaulacoa Louis-Marie, Trisetum sect.

  • 1 Charles Darwin's Notebooks from the Voyage of the `Beagle`. Transcribed, Edited and Introduced by Gordon Chancellor and John
    Charles Darwin’s Notebooks from the Voyage of the `Beagle`. Transcribed, edited and introduced by Gordon Chancellor and John van Wythe. xxxiii + 615 pp. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. 2009. $ 150 (cloth). Until now, it has not been possible to read in book form the immediate notes that Darwin himself had written during his 1832-1836 voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. Darwin’s Beagle records comprised five different kinds: field notebooks, personal diary, geological and zoological diaries, and specimen catalogues. Unlike the many other documents that Darwin created during the voyage, the field notebooks are not confined to any one subject. They contain notes and observations on geology, zoology, botany, ecology, weather notes, barometer and thermometer readings, ethnography, archaeology, and linguistics as well as maps, drawings, financial records, shopping lists, reading notes, and personal entries. The editors described the notebooks as the most difficult and complex of all of Darwin’s manuscripts. They were for the most part written in pencil which was often faint or smeared. They were generally not written while sitting at a desk but held in one hand, on mule or horseback or on the deck of the Beagle. Furthermore the lines were very short and much was not written in complete sentences. Added to this, they were full of Darwin’s chaotic spelling of foreign names so the handwriting was sometimes very difficult to decipher. Alternative readings were often possible. Darwin did not number the pages of the notebooks, and often wrote in them at different times from opposite ends. Most of the notebook space was devoted to geological descriptions and drawings, a reflection of Darwin’s interest in the works of Charles Lyell and his previous fieldwork with Adam Sedgwick.

Several populations in northern and southern Argentina may represent independent lineages that deserve formal description. Two of these populations were studied for the present contribution and are easily distinguished from all the other species in the genus. One of these populations is from Río Negro province and belongs to the P. patagonicus group; it exhibits a unique dorsal color pattern and several individuals are melanic, a characteristic never reported before for the genus, with the exception of P. tenebrosus. A careful examination of melanic individuals revealed the same dorsal pattern as that of non-melanic ones, although it is obscured. We also report the discovery of melanic individuals of two other species that are probably closely related: P. ceii and P. sitesi. The melanism found in the P.

    THE USPALLATA ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT, ARGENTINA Course ID: ARCH XL159 June 1–July 1, 2017 DIRECTOR: Dr. Erik J. Marsh, CONICET. Laboratorio de Paleo-Ecología Humana & Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina ([email protected]) INTRODUCTION The Uspallata Valley in Mendoza, Argentina lies below the snow-peaked Andes. The valley has been occupied since the Late Pleistocene. It includes 1) the site Agua de la Cueva, which dates to over 13,000 years ago and is earliest human occupation of this part of the Andes, 2) Mendoza’s densest concentration of prehispanic rock art at Cerro Tunduqueral, and 3) the southernmost extension of the vast Inca Empire and its road system, including a high-altitude child sacrifice on Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas. The project’s research focuses on the translation from foraging to pastoralism and agriculture. Both practices were present in the valley in the first millennium AD, but the timing and nature of the transition are unclear. This is most likely when the rock art at Cerro Tunduqueral was engraved, but this connection has not yet been demonstrated. We will investigate to what extend people remained people as they added novel subsistence strategies. These issues will be addressed with 1) survey data from a large area called Uspallata Norte (~8 km2) that includes dense and extensive surface dispersals of ceramics, ground stone, and expedient lithic tools and 2) excavations of a high altitude rock shelter, Paramillos. Both sets of data will complement the data from the 2016 field school, which excavated a surveyed and excavated rock shelter around Cerro Tunduqueral.

Thank you. Especial thanks goes to my husband Dr. Ric Davies who has provided unwavering support and encouragement throughout. I am deeply indebted to my supervisor, Jürke Grau, who made this research possible. Thank you for your support and guidance, and for your compassionate understanding of wider issues. The research for this study was funded by part-time employment on digital archiving projects coordinated via the Botanische Staatssammlung Munchen (INFOCOMP, 2000 – 2003; API- Projekt, 2005). Appreciative thanks go to the many friends and colleagues from both the Botanische Staatssammlung and the Botanical Institute who have provided scientific and social support over the years.
