Use of Stream Width for Determining the Dosage Rates of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis for Larval Black Fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) Control - Undeen, A. H.; D. P. Molloy (Journal of American Mosquito Control Association, 1996)
Data from several operational black fly abatement programs using Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (B.t.i.) in New York State's Adirondack Mountains were analyzed to determine what the concentration of formulation in the stream might have been if application rates were determined by a stream's width rather than its discharge. There was a high correlation (magnitude of R = 0.87) between discharge and width measured at 315 treatment sites. Had the applications been based upon the stream width, 96% of the actual concentrations in the streams would have been within plus or minus a factor of 5 and none exceeding a factor of 10, a range in which B.t.i. remains environmentally safe and effective.

The Archaeology of Provincial Officers Huts at Crown Point State Historic Site - C. L. Fisher (Northeast Historical Archaeology, 1995)
Archaeological survey of the site of a proposed maintenance building at Crown Point State Historic Site located the remains of three historic structures, identified as temporary housing of 18th-century soldiers during the initial construction of the extensive British fortifications, which began in 1759. These archaeological features and associated objects are evidence of both the material conditions of the soldiers and the social relationships among them. The spatial organization of the encampement separated the Provincial regiments from the British regulars. Within a single Provincial regiment's camp, the officers' huts were separated from their troops. The small objects recovered archaeologically are viewed in terms of their role in separating social groups of different ranks while uniting men of similar rank. In addition, the archaeological evidence suggests that the Provincials' camps were not "irregular" and "chaotic." By 1759, the Provincials' encampments reflect an increasingly professional or British attitude.

Storage and Monongahela Subsistence-Settlement Change - J. P. Hart (Archaeology of Eastern North America, 1995)
Enclosed, semi-subterranean storage facilities are synonymous with the Late Prehistoric Monongahela tradition in the lower Upper Ohio River basin. While these structures have been described in detail and changes in construction techniques have been documented, their interpretive value for Monongahela tradition subsistence-settlement system change has not been fully exploited. Changes in the number and location of storage facilities among Monongahela tradition sites, as well as changes in size and construction techniques, may reflect increasing social complexity in response to higher population densities and restricted mobility.

Upper Lower Cambrian (upper Placentian-Branchian Series) of the Northern Antigonish Highlands, Nova Scotia: Faunas, and Revised Stratigraphy - E. Landing (Journal of Paleontology, 1995)
Lithostratigraphy and depositional and epeirogenic history of the upper Placentian Series (Cuslett-Fosters Point Formations of the Bonavista Group) and Branchian Series (Brigus Formation) are identical in the northern Antigonish Highlands; Cape Breton Island; and eastern Placentia Bay, southeastern Newfoundland. Preliminary evidence suggests that the lower Middle Cambrian is present in the field area. A unified, uppermost Precambrian–Lower Cambrian, formation- and member-level nomenclature is appropriate to Avalonian North America, and the stratigraphic nomenclature of southeastern Newfoundland is applied in northern mainland Nova Scotia. Latest Placentian shoaling and deposition of a peritidal carbonate lithosome and unconformable onlap of the trilobite-bearing Branchian Series occurred in shallow Avalonian shale basins from eastern Massachusetts to central England. Uppermost Placentian Series faunas are very diverse in the Fosters Point Formation. Limited similarities with the South Australian Lower Cambrian are indicated by the presence of Camenella sp. cf. C. reticulosa, Conotheca australiensis, and Hyptiotheca sp., but these forms do not contribute to highly resolved correlation. Twenty-eight taxa are illustrated from the upper Placentian and Branchian Series. Caveacus rectus n. gen. and sp., a phosphatic problematicum, is limited to the upper Placentian Series. The oldest, skeletalized, macrophagous predators are the Pseudoconodontida and the later appearing Protoconodontida (n. orders). The Pseudoconodontida includes the Protohertzinacea n. superfamily and Strictocorniculacea n. superfamily (with the Rhombocorniculidae and Strictocorniculidae n. families). Strictocorniculum vanallerum n. gen. and sp. is described. The tommotiid family Sunnaginiidae emend. includes Eccentrotheca, Sunnaginia, Kulparina, and Jayceia deltiformis n. gen. and sp.

Prehistoric Extinctions of Pacific Island Birds: Biodiversity Meets Archaeozoology - D. W. Steadman (Science, 1995)
On tropical Pacific islands, a human-caused "biodiversity crisis" began thousands of years ago and has nearly run its course. Bones identified from archaeological sites show that most species of land birds and populations of seabirds on those islands were exterminated by prehistoric human activities. The loss of birdlife in the tropical Pacific may exceed 2000 species (a majority of which were species of flightless rails) and thus represents a 20 percent worldwide reduction in the number of species of birds. The current global extinction crisis therefore has historic precedent.

Earthworks and Mortuary Sites on Lake Erie: Believe it or Not at the Ripley Site - Sullivan, L. P.; Neusius, S. W.; Neusius, P. D. (Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology, 1995)
Models of cultural dynamics for southwestern New York depend heavily on the long-standing assumption that the region's earthworks are defensive fortifications associated with late prehistoric/protohistoric villages. This assumption rests largely on analogy with the historic stockaded villages of various Iroquoian groups. We suggest an alternate interpretation for some earthwork sites. Evidence from older collections and recent test excavations of the Ripley site in Chautauqua County, New York, does not correspond with Parker's (1907) interpretation of this earthwork site as a fortified village and cemetery complex. Instead, mortuary activities may have been the primary site function. We are testing this preliminary reinterpretation through analyses of materials from controlled, large-scale excavations. Our work to date demonstrates the need for systematic study to assess assumptions about the earthworks of southwestern New York and their context in the Great Lakes region. There is urgency for undertaking such investigations, since few of these sites survive and there is no plan for their preservation.

Monitoring Aspergillus fumigatus Aerosols from a Composting Facility - Syzdek, L. D.; J. H. Haines (Aerobiologia, 1995)
The large, outdoor Islip Yard Waste Composting Facility on Long Island, New York was investigated as a source of airborne fungus spores. The Burkard-Hirst volumetric spore trap was used for the first extensive sampling of small mold spores for this application. Samplers were operated continuously from 21 August to 30 November 1992 in the facility and in a suburban community about 540 m from the facility. A control site approximately 10 000 m from the facility was also sampled to establish background levels of fungus spores. The facility site had higher average readings ofAspergillus fumigatus spores than did the community and both were higher than the control.A. fumigatus was the only fungus among 30 categories tracked that differed significantly between the facility and control sites. It was also isolated repeatedly from the compost. Higher average levels ofA. fumigatus were measured in the community when winds blew from the facility, and also during times when the compost was moved or mixed at the facility. No correlation was found between wind direction or work times andA. fumigatus conidia at the control site. The study shows that this compost facility can produce a measurable increase in the number of airborneA. fumigatus conidia both at the edge of the facility and at 540 m downwind. It also demonstrates that the Burkard spore trap can be used for monitoring small, airborne mold spores, but it is a difficult and labor intensive task.

Feeding Ecology of Redside Dace, Clinostomus elongatus - R. A. Daniels; Wisniewski, S. J. (Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 1994)
Abstract– Redside dace, Clinostomus elongatus (Kirtland), from two populations in New York, USA, consumed adult Diptera; over 85% of the prey taken between April and November was in this order. Adult Hilara spp. (Empididae) were the dipterans consumed most frequently; individuals of this genus represented 70% and 60% of the items consumed by fishes from populations in Allcgheny and Hudson River drainages, respectively. Over 98% of the prey consumed by redside dace was in ten insect orders. Adult and larval chironomids and adult trichopterans were the next most frequently consumed prey. Adult chironomids made up 9% of the diet, by number, in both populations. Adult trichopterans accounted for 2–3% of the items taken. Adult empidids were selected by individuals in both populations. The dominance of flying insects in the diet of redside dace is related to their foraging behavior. These data show that adjacent terrestrial environments may be important to some stream-dwelling organisms.

Archaeological Investigations at the Mon City site (36WA737), Washington County, Pennsylvania - J. P. Hart (Pennsylvania Archaeologist, 1994)
Archaeological  investigations  at  the  Mon  City  Site (36WH737) on the west bank of the Monongahela River in Washington County, Pennsylvania revealed portions of a Late Prehistoric Monongahela tradition small habitation site. This site occupied a narrow Holocene levee between the Monongahela River and a back channel slough. Evidence of one house pattern was documented as were storage facilities, pit features, and a hearth. Pottery attributes, including a high percentage of final Z-twist cordmarking and dowel impressed lips, exemplify the late Middle Monongahela period. Uncalibrated radiocarbon dates indicate mid-sixteenth-century occupations. Subsistence remains reflect the exploitation of a variety of wild resources available within the immediate vicinity of the site and nearby uplands in addition to maize-based agriculture.

New Constraint on the Division of Cambrian Time - Isachsen, C. E.; Bowring, S. A.; E. Landing; Samson, S. D. (Geology, 1994)
A U-Pb zircon age of 530.7 ±0.9 Ma for a volcanic ash in the lower Placentian Series of the Avalonian terrane in southern New Brunswick provides a precise point for calibration of Early Cambrian biologic evolution. The ash is from the middle Rusophycus avalonensis Zone in Saint John, New Brunswick. This date is on subtrilobitic, Lower Cambrian strata that may be approximately correlative with the sub-Tommotian Manykaian Stage of Siberia and the lowest Meishucunian Stage of the South China platform. This age, when combined with published geochronologic data from the Cambrian, suggests that the Manykaian Stage may have lasted approximately 13 m.y. and that the Tommotian may have been considerably shorter.

Precambrian-Cambrian Boundary Global Stratotype Ratified and a New Perspective of Cambrian Time - E. Landing (Geology, 1994)
The Precambrian-Cambrian boundary global stratotype is the base of the Phycodes pedum Zone at Fortune Head, southeastern Newfoundland. The initial, two-stage radiation of the Phanerozoic fauna (the appearance of Phanerozoic-aspect trace producers and subsequent origin of diverse skeletalized metazoans) was earliest Cambrian. Fossil assemblages with deep, complex burrows or originally mineralized skeletal fossils (with exception of Cloudina) are Early Cambrian or younger. Correlation into Avalon indicates that strata once referred to the Proterozoic (e.g., Manykaian [or Nemakit-Daldynian] and Rovno stages) are lowest Cambrian and that the Siberian Tommotian Stage is middle Lower Cambrian. The thick sequence and complex epeirogenic history of the Placentian Series, as compared with the trilobite-bearing Branchian Series, suggest that most Early Cambrian time is represented by the subtrilobitic Lower Cambrian.

A biota associated with Matuyama reversed sediments from west-central Illinois - Miller, B. B.; Graham, R. W.; Morgan, A. V.; N. G. Miller; McCoy, W. D.; Palmer, D. F.; Smith, A. J.; Pilney, J. J. (Quaternary Research, 1994)
A fossil assemblage containing molluscs, mammals, insects, ostracodes, and plants has been recovered from a silt-filled depression near Lima, in west-central Illinois. The reversed remanent magnetic signature of the sediments and the temporal ranges of two mammals, Microtus paroperarius and Lasiopodomys deceitensis, constrain the age of the assemblage to between 730,000 and 830,000 yr B.P. The extent of isoleucine epimerization in the molluscan shell is consistent with this age interpretation. The fauna includes at least 43 taxa of beetles from 11 families, 35 nominal species of molluscs, and two genera of ostracodes. The mammals include two shrews, three rodents, and a rabbit. The plant macrofossils (no pollen recovered) include 25 species of seed plants and four kinds of terrestrial or wetland mosses. Most of the plant species identified still occur in the upper Midwest, although a few of the taxa are found mainly to the north of the site. The fauna is characterized by an almost total absence of true aquatic taxa. The association of both boreal and thermophilous faunal and floral elements suggest that summer temperatures were not greatly different from present ones, but cooler, moist areas must have been available to support the boreal elements. Local conditions were probably similar to those now found in northeastern Iowa, where rains blocks, fissures, and joints in carbonate bedrock serve as traps for debris accumulations, provide shade, and are kept cool and moist during the hot summer months by cold-air drainage and groundwater seepage. Summer mean temperature in these microhabitats was probably between 18 and 20°C, similar to temperatures that now occur near the northern hardwood spruce-fir transition in the eastern United States.

Facing up to budgetary challenges at the Biological Survey, New York State Museum - N. G. Miller (Curator, 1994)
Collection and research activities in biology at the New York State Museum (NYSM) are centered in the Biological Survey. Its operating funds are set by the governor, the state legislature, and the state education department. Additional funding is provided from grants and the New York State Museum Institute. Operating budgets and staff size between 1973 and 1994 were rather constant or rose somewhat during the first three-fourths of this period, then increased dramatically as a result of special appropriations by the legislature. In recent fiscal years, there were major cuts in the NYSM's operating budget, and the Biological and Geological Surveys were especially targeted for “downsizing.” The museum embarked on a campaign to have the proposed cuts more broadly assigned or the funding restored. The methods used included testimonials to legislators by survey clients and visits by museum staff to explain the benefits of the surveys. The Museum Visiting Committee and the Business and Industry Advisory Council were formed to further ensure support of the surveys. This advocacy emphasized the importance of a clear focus on actual and potential client needs in research and other programs of the surveys, constantly advertising what we do, and broadly-based collaborative projects that make good use of expertise existing in the state. The Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI) was created by legislation in 1993 and placed within the NYSM.

A study of the moss Splachnum pensylvanicum using scanning electron microscopy - N. G. Miller (Hikobia, 1994)
Fresh, liquid-preserved, air-dried, and critical-point dried materials of Splachnum pensylvanicum from New York State, U.S.A., examined by light and scanning electron microscopy, revealed the following. The plants are autoicous; the spores are minutely reticulate; the apophysis is translucent, yellow-green, and wider than the urn when fresh and green but more opaque when dry; the operculum is blunt and rounded when fresh but mamillate when dry; the inner surfaces of peristome teeth are papillose, while the sculpturing of the outer faces is in parallel sinuose rows; the spore sac seems to participate in spore presentation at the mouth of the urn; setae grow about three times in length during spore release; and polysety. Distinctions between this moss and Tetraplodon angustatus in the shape of the capsule and operculuin are clarified. In S. pensylvanicum the apophysis is wider than the urn when fresh but narrower when dry; in T. angustatus it is wider in fresh and dry plants. In S. pensylvanicum the operculum apex is broad and rounded when fresh (and similar to that of T. angustatus) but mamillate when dry. Vegetative leaves of S. pensylvanicum and S. ampullaceum, which are found at the base of the plants often among the rhizoids, are similar in shape and dentation but differ somewhat in areolation and in the degree of tapering toward the leaf base.

Flora of an Unusually Diverse Virgin and Old-growth Forest Area in the Southern Adirondacks of New York - R. S. Mitchell; Tucker, G. C. (Bulletin of the Torrey Botany Club, 1994)
A lowland, virgin white pine-hemlock stand and associated old-growth habitats were studied at Pack Forest Preserve, Warren County, NY. An area of 48.1 acres, interrupted only by nature trails, has white pines up to 58 inches in diameter, and supports 355 native plant species-an unexpectedly high number, considering its location in the climatically severe Adirondack Mountains. This minimally disturbed old-growth forest and its associated wetlands are not only diverse, but essentially weed-free, making them ideal for future ecological research, botanical teaching and monitoring activities.

Short-term Reduction of Adult Zebra Mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, in the Hudson River Near Catskill, New York: An Effect of Juvenile Blue Crab (Callinectes Sapidus) Predation? - D. P. Molloy; Powell, J.; Ambrose, P. (Journal of Shellfish Research, 1994)
During the summer of 1992, a loss of 2- to 3-cm zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, was recorded in the Hudson River near Catskill, NY. We document this adult population crash and present field and laboratory data suggesting that predation by blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, was responsible. Dredge samples on July 8th indicated that the mean density of the largest zebra mussel size class (length = 2 to 3 cm) in the Hamburg-Catskill-Germantownregion was 664 m-2 (range of 59 to 2,222 m-2, 14rucks examined). In sharp contrast, extensive dredging on August II th did not recover a single mussel of that size class in that area. The largest mussel collected on August 11th was only 0.7 em long, with over 100 rocks examined. An abundance of shell fragments and detached, live mussels were considered evidence of predation, possibly by a large immigrant blue crab population present in the area. Laboratory trials confirmed that these crabs can aggressively consume zebra mussels, particularly the size class that was virtually eliminated in the Catskill area, and that their feeding does result in piles of shell fragments and removed, yet unconsumed mussels. Further supportive evidence of the blue crab predation hypothesis was gained in the summers of 1993 and 1994, when blue crabs did not migrate into the Catskill area and a massive decline in 2 to 3 cm mussels did not occur.

Meltwater Channels on West Slope of Tug Hill Plateau, New York - Muller, E. H.; D. H. Cadwell (Northeastern Geology, 1994)
Underfit valleys, dry channels and channel reaches anomalously deflected to the southwest (oblique to the regional slope) characterize the western descent from the cuestaform Tug Hill Plateau in northern New York. These vestiges of glacial meltwater drainage potentially bear useful information regarding the nature and history of Late Wisconsinan ice sheet withdrawal from northern New York uplands. A key to this information lies in examination of modern glacial meltwater streams adjacent to glaciers such as Burroughs and Bering Glaciers in central southern Alaska. Draining from ice onto reversely sloping terrain, they are diverted into ephemeral and shifting ice-marginal reaches that persist only until deglaciation opens new routes on lower terrain. Successive diversions during continuing glacial retreat produce flights of horseshoe- or comma-shaped channels recording the history of glacial retreat. Interpreted in terms of their modern analogs, the vestiges of glaciomarginal meltwater drainage record a history of century or two of steady retreat following the Port Huron Advance during which meltwater penetrated this stagnating and increasingly debris-covered margin during ice sheet withdrawal from the Tug Hill. No evidence of catastrophic "megaflooding" is seen in this record.

Observation of space filling in Celosia cristata - Semkow, T. M.; Harris, P. R.; Schwenker, C. D.; Semkov, A. G.; N. G. Miller (Fractals, 1994)
The fasciate flower aggregates (inflorescences) of Celosia cristata (Amaranthaceae) exhibit fractal behavior in the range from ~2 to ~21 cm and have a surface fractal dimension ~3 in 3-dimensional embedding Euclidean space. The inflorescence of this plant thus provides an outstanding example of the space-filling concept that originated from Peano in 1890. Such a structure of Celosia cristata may be advantageous in wind pollination.

Biogeography and Prehistoric Exploitation of Birds from Fais Island, Yap State, Federated States of Micronesia - D. W. Steadman; Intoh, M. (Pacific Science, 1994)
Five archaeological sites on the remote, raised limestone island of Fais, Yap, Federated States of Micronesia, yielded nearly 200 identifiable bird bones from strata that range in age from about 400 to 1800 radiocarbon yr B.P. Represented are 14 species of seabirds, five species of migratory shorebirds, four species of land birds, and the introduced chicken. This is the most species-rich prehistoric assemblage of birds from any island in Micronesia. Because the "modern" avifauna of Fais never has been studied, it is difficult to determine which of the species from archaeological contexts still occur on Fais. Nevertheless, based upon modern distributions of birds from other islands in Yap and adjacent island groups, the environmental condition of Fais, and what is known about the relative vulnerability of individual species, it is likely that about nine of the seabirds (Pterodroma sp., Bulweria bulwerii, Sula dactylatra, S. sula, Sterna sumatrana, S. lunata, S./uscata, Anous minutus, Procelsterna cerulea) and three of the land birds (Poliolimnas cinereus, Gallicolumba cf. xanthonura, Ducula oceanica) no longer live on Fais..

New Information on Late Pleistocene Birds from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico - D. W. Steadman; Arroyo-Cabrales, J.; Johnson, E.; Guzman, A. F. (The Condor, 1994)
We report 90 bird bones representing 18 species from recent excavations at San Josecito Cave, Nuevo León, Mexico. The new material increases the avifauna of this rich late Pleistocene locality from 52 to 62 species. Eight of the 10 newly recorded taxa are extant; each is either of temperate rather than tropical affinities (such as the American Woodcock Scolopax minor and Pinyon Jay Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) or is very wide-spread in its modern distribution. The two extinct taxa are a stork (Ciconia sp. or Mycteria sp.) and Geococcyx californianus conklingi, a large temporal subspecies of the Greater Road-runner. In this region of the Sierra Madre Oriental (about lat. 24°N, long. 100°W, elev. 2,000-2,600 m), the late Pleistocene avifauna was a mixture of species that today prefer coniferous or pine-oak forests/woodlands, grasslands/savannas, and wetlands. As with various late Pleistocene plant and mammal communities of the United States and México, no clear modern analog exists for the late Pleistocene avifauna of San Josecito Cave.

Taxonomic Notes on Some North American Orchids - Catling, P. M.; C. J. Sheviak (Lindleyana, 1993)
Five taxa are discussed. (1) The new name Sacoila lanceolata var. lanceolata f. albidaviridis Catling and Sheviak is provided for the whitish-green-flowered plants, recently referred to var. luteoalbus (Rchb.f.) Luer, that occur in Florida. (2) The hydrid of Spiranthes lacera (Raf.) Raf. var. lacera and S. romanzoffiana Cham., now known from 4 localities ranging from New Brunswick west to Wisconsin, is described as Spiranthes x simpsonii Catling and Sheviak. Like its parents it has a sparsely pubescent rachis. The lip is oblong as in S. lacera var. lacera (Raf.) Raf., but the basal calli are relatively small, and the lateral sepals are basally connate and usually terminally connivent as in S. romanzoffiana Cham. The pollen in groups of 1 to 8, including the normal tetrads, is a distinctive feature of this hybrid. (3) Patterns of variation within the genus Cephalanthera and the occurrence of saprophytes in Europe and China suggest against recognizing the single North American representative within genus Eburyophyton. (4) The two species of Datylorhiza naturalized in eastern North America are D. majalis (Rchb.f.) P. F. Summerhayes ssp. praetermissa (Druce) D. M. Moore and Soo from Newfoundland, and D. cf. fuchsii (Druce) Soo from northern Ontario. (5) The new combination Platanthera zothecina (Higgins and Welsh) Catling and Sheviak is provided.

Habitat of the Eastern Sand Darter, Ammocrypta pellucida - R. A. Daniels (Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 1993)
Eastern sand darter were found exclusively associated with sand substrates in the field and in 90% of observations made on individuals in an artificial stream under controlled conditions. In the study stream, the Mettawee River, other physical habitat variables, such as, water velocity, depth or distance from bank, had no detectable effect on distribution or substrate use. In artificial streams, neither water velocity nor depth affected substrate use. No diel changes in substrate use were noted in laboratory experiments. Distribution of eastern sand darter was not associated with the distribution of other fishes present in study stream. Few temperate stream fishes are as strongly associated with a particular habitat variable as is Ammocrypta pellucida which is important to note when developing management strategies. The number of streams in which this species occurs has declined during the last half century. These declines may reflect changes in habitat.

Discovery of a Medium-temperature Eclogite Province in the Caledonides of North-East Greenland - Gilotti, J. A. (Geology, 1993)
Basic and acid-intermediate bodies containing eclogite-facies parageneses were discovered during recent mapping in North-East Greenland. Scattered throughout an orthogneiss complex, eclogitic pods extend from approximately lat 76°40'N to the northern limit of the area mapped (78°N), a province comparable in size to the eclogite-bearing Western Gneiss region of Norway. The eclogites are the medium-temperature type typically formed in overthickened continental crust during continent-continent collision. An Early Proterozoic event cannot be ruled out, but field relations and regional correlations suggest that the high-pressure metamorphism may be Caledonian. Paleozoic eclogites in Greenland would negate current tectonic models for Caledonian collision that envision simple subduction of Baltica beneath Laurentia, while Early Proterozoic eclogites would be the oldest bona fide eclogites known.

Cambrian-Ordovician Boundary in the Taconic Allochthon, Eastern New York, and Its Interregional Correlation - E. Landing (Journal of Paleontology, 1993)
Cambrian--Ordovician boundary interval dendroid graptolites and conodonts occur in continental slope facies in the Taconic allochthon. The upper part of the Hatch Hill Formation has lowest Ordovician (lowest Tremadocian) nematophorous dendroid and lower Fauna B-aspect conodont assemblages with Cordylodus caseyi (emend.) and Iapetognathus preaengensis. Comparable dendroid-conodont faunas occur in Baltoscandia, northeastern China, and western Newfoundland; this suggests that no diachroneity can be demonstrated between the lowest occurrences of Rhabdinopora flabelliformis in a number of faunal provinces. A practical and correlatable Cambrian--Ordovician boundary stratotype horizon defined by the lowest occurrence of a Rhabdinopora flabelliformis assemblage within an interval with lower Fauna B-aspect conodonts is advocated. A biostratigraphic horizon defined by conodonts has far less utility due to strong lithofacies-conodont biofacies linkages, unresolved problems with the species-level taxonomy of cordylodans, and possible diachronous first-appearances of Cordylodus species. Because the areally most extensive Cambrian--Ordovician boundary sequences are siliciclastic-dominated (Avalonian, Baltoscandian, Gondwanan-Hercynian platforms and shale-dominated slope sequences), the lowest local occurrence of R. flabelliformis assemblages provides a practical and traditional definition for the base of the Ordovician System and Tremadocian Series in regions where conodonts are rare or recoverable only with difficulty. Strata correlative with the Cambrian--Tremadocian boundary interval are not represented across most of Laurentia. In this region, the "Sauk III Subsequence" locally has an important unconformity within it, and lower Tremadocian-equivalent rocks can unconformably overlie units as low as the Proterozoic. The earliest Ordovician featured a relatively simple eustatic history characterized by an "early Tremadocian onlap"; no compelling evidence supports a eustatic fall-rise couplet, or "Black Mountain eustatic event," in this interval. Available stratigraphic information is reinterpreted to demonstrate an initially slow and subsequently higher rate of continued sea level rise in the Cambrian--Ordovician boundary interval.

In Situ Earliest Cambrian Tube Worms and the Oldest Metazoan-Constructed Biostrome (Placentian Series, Southeastern Newfoundland - E. Landing (Journal of Paleontology, 1993)
"Ladatheca" cylindrica (Grabau, 1900) was a eurytopic metazoan with a calcareous operculum and an elongate, gently tapering conch up to 15+ cm long and with an apical angle of approximately 0.75-2.0°. This apparent polychaete was geographically widespread in the sub-trilobitic Lower Cambrian of middle latitude, siliciclastic (middle and upper Placentian Series, Avalon Zone) and low latitude, carbonate platform (Tommotian Stage, Siberia(?) and Kazakhstan; and, probably, the upper Meishucunian Stage, southwestern China) sequences. In situ conchs (vertically to steeply inclined, apex down) of "Ladatheca" cylindrica are common in deep subtidal, siliciclastic mudstones (Chapel Island Formation) and in a peritidal algal mud mound(?) limestone (West Centre Cove Formation) in southeastern Newfoundland. Closely juxtaposed conchs locally form a worm reef at the top of the West Centre Cove Formation. This structure is older than the oldest archaeocyathan build-ups and is the earliest known metazoan-constructed biostrome. "Ladatheca" cylindrica was a dominant element of the sessile benthos prior to its apparent ecological displacement by Coleoloides typicalis Walcott, 1889, in the upper Placentian Series.

Wings Dams at Snouk's Rapid: A Proto-Lock on the Mohawk River - P. Lord Jr. (Bulletin, Journal of the New York State Archaeological Association, 1993)
In the quarter century before the opening of the Erie Canal, a private canal company improved Mohawk River-navigation by constructing rock wing dams on numerous rifts. The dams were patterned after eel weirs built previously by Native American inhabitants and others. One complex of such navigation dams, recorded in 1803, approximates in design and function a true canal lock.

Modern Research with Bryophytes: An Overview - N. G. Miller (Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club, 1993)
The idea that bryophytes form a truly ancient lineage of plants rests upon inadequate fossil evidence of their presumed lower Paleozoic origins from Charalean-like or Coleochaetalean-like algae. In this regard a special challenge is the unequivocal interpretation of the biphasic life cycle of bryophyte-like plant fossils. Unique among land plants in having a dominant gametophyte phase, bryophytes present opportunities for a broad array of research not readily undertaken in sporophyte-dominated organisms. This is enhanced by the ease with which bryophytes in culture can be manipulated experimentally and subjected to analytical testing. Such attributes have permitted numerous recent advances in what is known about the cell biology and physiology of this group of plants. Progress is also evident in deciphering the natural products chemistry of bryophytes. Of far reaching importance are recent advancements in understanding speciation and genetic diversity within species. Where bryophytes are vegetation dominants (e.g., polar, arctic, and boreal regions, and low latitude-high elevation forests), the importance of research involving these organisms will increase in proportion to environmental pressures created by the expanding human population and its agricultural and industrial base.

Late-Glacial Pollen, Macrofossils and Fish Remains in Northeastern U.S.A.--The Younger Dryas Oscillation - D. Peteet; R. A. Daniels; Heusser, L. E.; Vogel, J. S.; Southon, J. R.; Nelson, D. E. (Quaternary Science Reviews, 1993)
The late-glacial environmental histories of Allamuchy Pond, New Jersey and Linsley Pond, Connecticut are reconstructed from pollen, macrofossil and fish scale remains. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dating of seeds and needles indicates that the first organic deposition, evidenced by fossil Picea (spruce) needles, occurred approximately 12,400 BP. A major regional warming began in the northeastern United States at this time, correlative with the Bølling/Allerød warming of Europe and Greenland. The increase in Quercus (oak) pollen and presence of Pinus strobus (white pine) needles demonstrates the magnitude of warming reached at about 11,000 BP. The subsequent decline of thermophilous species and increase in boreal Picea, Abies (fir), Larix (larch), Betula papyrifera (paper birch) and Alnus (alder) from 10,800-10,000 BP was a regional vegetational reversal. Thus we find a North American expression of the Younger Dryas with a mean annual temperature depression of 3–4° C. The subsequent classical southern New England pine pollen zone ‘B’ and Pinus strobus macrofossils signalled a return to warmer conditions at approximately 10,000 BP, regionally, within approximately 50–100 years. A large increase in Quercus follows. This study is unique in documenting a continuous late-glacial record of fish remains from Allamuchy Pond, New Jersey sediments, indicating that members of the families Centrarchidae (sunfish), Salmonidae (trout), Percidae (perch) and Cyprinidae (minnow) were regionally present.
