摘要:
The fossil birds of the British Upper Eocene are re‐examined, further species are described, and additional material referred to existing species. Seeley'sMacrornis tanaupusappears to be non‐avian. Of the nine species listed by Lydekker (1891), the supposed cormorant,Actiornis anglicus,and the supposed flamingo,Elornis anglicus,appear referable to a single species of ibis under the former name; andIbidopsisis transferred to the rails. The total number of forms now recognized consists of a diver, a cormorant, two ibises, a flamingo (based on limb shafts and unnamed), a telmabatid, a duck, a probable cathartid vulture, a hawk, an osprey, a rail and four waders. Seven new genera and seven new species are na

摘要:
A new and unique harpacticoid copepod fromSpartina altemiflorasalt marshes of the southeastern coast of the United States is described.Stenhelia bifidiasp. nov., differs from its closest allies in having bifid P5setae, reduced number of setae on the swimming legs, reduced length of the mandibular enpododite setae and a sexually dimorphic rostrum.A table listing the salient morphological features ofStenhelia (Delavalia)is given as a new key to the subgenus along with a discussion on the validity of theStenheliarelated genusMe limaPor.

摘要:
Behavioural observations were made on wild and captive sand monitors in Australia. Threat and defensive postures are described forV. gouldiiand reference is made toV. variusandV. spenceri;such behaviour is compared to other species within the family Varanidae. With captiveV. gouldii,one case of cannibalism occurred when space was restricted.
