Bemmel, A.C.V. van. |
Frederik Johannes Appelman werd op 18 juli 1894 te ’s-Gravenhage geboren. Reeds als jongen had hij belangstelling voor alles wat dier was, doch speciaal voor vogels. Met jeugdig enthousiasme bracht hij o.a. een eiercollectie bij elkaar. Toen hij zich, ter verrijking van zijn verzameling, echter eens vergreep aan een legsel zwaneneieren in de Haagse hertenkamp, maakte een geduchte vaderlijke schrobbering aan deze activiteiten een hardhandig einde. Mogelijk heeft dit jeugdtrauma er toe bijgedragen dat hij op latere leeftijd voor de museale zoölogie een ietwat platonische liefde heeft gekoesterd. Frits Appelman werd geen bioloog, omdat hij meende dan uitsluitend tot het onderwijs beperkt te zullen blijven en zijn hart trok naar buiten. Het studievak van zijn... |

In vorliegender Arbeit wird der Versuch unternommen, ein nach dem heutigen Stand unserer Kenntnisse vollständiges Verzeichnis der im indomalayischen Raum beheimateten Holzbohrmuscheln oder Terediniden zu geben. Die Grundlage der Untersuchungen bilden die Terediniden-Sammlungen von GONGGRIJP und BIANCHI im Amsterdamer Museum, die des Kgl. Tropeninstituts in Amsterdam sowie die früheren Bearbeitungen des Verfassers von Material aus dem gleichen Gebiet. Außer einer systematischen Aufzählung der dort vorkommenden Gattungen und Arten wird im besonderen die oft recht verwickelte Synonymie berücksichtigt und nach Möglichkeit richtiggestellt. Des weiteren finden wir bei jeder der 31 Arten genaue Angaben der geographischen Verbreitung und in einem ökologischen... |

INTRODUCTION In this, the second part of my revision of the Zosteropidae, 26 species are dealt with, all belonging to the genus Zosterops. The remaining 12 species of the genus and all the other genera, will be treated in the third part, the preparation of which is in progress. Unfortunately, it becomes more and more clear that no revision of the Pacific forms of the Zosteropidae can be really satisfactory without a visit to the American Museum of Natural History, where all the material of the Tring Museum and of the Whitney South Sea Expedition is assembled. Even though the co-operation of the authorities of that museum is above praise, I have usually been able to examine part of their series only, and no type specimens at all. More important is that the... |

In the Ordovician sandstones of the Cantabrian Mountains a replacement of the micas by carbonate minerals could be observed. The absence of metamorphic minerals suggests a diagenetic replacement. This is supported by the finding of the same type of replacement in some undisturbed Pliocene sediments of an intramontane basin in the French Pyrenees. It seems that replacement can occur at any stage during diagenesis. |

Under the auspices of Leiden University and with the financial aid of various organisations and institutions, Messrs. E. Hennipman, P. Nijhoff, C. Swennen, A. S. Tulp, W. J. M. Vader, and W. J. J. O. de Wilde, most of whom are biological students of Leiden University, made a collecting trip to Turkey from March to July 1959. Extensive collections of plants and animals from Turkey were brought together, while moreover incidental collecting was done on the way home in Greece and Jugoslavia. A narrative of this trip will be published by Nijhoff & Swennen. The Decapod and Stomatopod Crustacea brought home by the expedition form an extensive and well preserved collection, which contains many very interesting items. It is gratifying to see that... |

Entamoeba invadens RODHAIN is known as a dangerous parasite in reptiles, especially snakes and lizards. Up till now it has mostly been found in specimens which are kept in captivity. When these are carriers they show no signs of disease, but the faeces contain cysts and can infect healthy reptiles. If the reptiles are ill, the symptoms mostly are serious. They begin with a loss of appetite and an increasing need for drinking water. Within a few weeks the faeces merely consist of bloody mucus, containing a large number of hystolytic forms as well as a few cysts of Entamoeba invadens. In the case of Lacerta agilis (STAM, 1958), the animals died on an average within 25 days from inoculation (14 to 34 days). Different species of Natrix which had been infected... |

This paper deals with a collection of birds from Trinidad and Tobago brought together by the junior author during a stay on these islands from the end of June 1953 till February 1954. The collection contains 835 specimens belonging to 178 species. About one hundred skins have been collected on Tobago. The collection mainly consists of the smaller species, which is due to the fact that at the time Mees was not in the possession of an adequate shooting gun for the larger species. Though much collecting work has already been done on Trinidad the collection contains one new subspecies, Pipra erythrocephala flavissima, jointly described, while it was shown that Tanagra violacea rodwayi is a tenable race. Moreover the Trinidad list is augmented by the following... |

Die nachstehend folgenden Ausführungen betreffend die P. eversmanni Mén.- clodius Mén.- orleans Oberth.-Gruppe hätten eingefügt werden müssen nach subsp. clarus Bryk & Eisner auf p. 142 in Parnassiana Nova XIX. P. eversmanni Mén. Die Verbreitung dieser Art läuft zum Teil parallel mit der von P. stubbendorfi Mén. und P. glacialis Butler. Aufgrund der Genitalarmatur — die sphragis weicht ein wenig von der von P. mnemosyne L. ab — gehört P. eversmanni Mén. zu den mnemosyne-formae, er zeigt aber schon einen mehr apollinischen habitus. Bei dieser Art treten erstmalig drei rote, schwarz umgrenzte, meist weissgekernte Wurzelflecke unterseits auf, auch die Ozellen, das Analband weisen unterseits weisse Kerne auf, die mitunter sogar oberseits durchschlagen.... |

Kern, J.H.. |
After Boeckeler's treatise on the species of Scleria known in his day (5), no comprehensive study on the genus has ever been published. The preparation of an up-to-date monograph would be an arduous task, not only owing to the large size of the genus, but also to the numerous problems encountered in its delimitation and its subdivision. Fortunately several very valuable studies on the Scleriae of America and Africa have been published lately, which are important precursors to a future monographic treatment. Core (14) revised the American species, Chermezon (8, 9) those of Madagascar, Piérart (24) published a study on the species of Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, and Nelmes (22, 23) gave an account of the genus for the whole of Africa. The history of... |

Red deer ( Cervus elaphus L.) are known from many prehistoric sites in Western Europe; a number of these are usually of great size as compared with contemporary animals. This essay is an attempt to summarize the literature concerning the size of the prehistoric red deer in comparison with the recent species and to discuss the different influences of the habitat (extent and character of the biotope, food, climate) on the dimensions of red deer. It is the intention that it should attribute to a better understanding of the factors that may have caused the great size of many prehistoric red deer and to try and find out if a similarity between the variation during the course of postglacial times and the local variation in relation to the habitat exists. Most... |

Within the genus Vaccinium L. this revision of its Malaysian species — which comprises more than half of the total number of species of the genus — is the last in a series of modern treatments made for North America by W. H. Camp, for the Pacific area by C. Skottsberg, and for tropical America and tropical Asia by the present author. The work formerly done in Malaysian Vaccinium has been limited to islands, as that by J. J. Smith and Schlechter for a part of New Guinea, by Copeland f. for the Philippines, and by Amshoff for Java, with the shortcomings necessarily connected with such too local work. The sections proposed for the Malaysian species in my general system in 1941 have been found still useful and are kept here except a nomenclatural change in one... |
