The forms which Mr. Davidson in his invaluable Monograph has included under T. ovoides, are so various that it would be possible to refer the shells figured in the plate to that species, but since T. trilineata, from the Inferior Oolite, and T. lata and T. ovoides, from drift-blocks—which I shall endeavour to show are of the very latest Jurassic horizon—are very different in many respects, I prefer to give a new name to this form, which may find its place near T. ovoides and T. simplex. The specimen drawn, Fig. 1 and la, is from the collection of Mr. Roper of Lowestoft, who obtained it, with another specimen, from a gravel-pit at Thorpe in Suffolk. It has the general simple form of T. ovoides, but is remarkable for its great size. The imperforate valve is flattened in the mesial line, whilst the perforate valve is deep and raised into a well-pronounced keel in the mesial line extending from the beak; the foramen is small. The specimen figured is longer than the other in Mr. Roper's collection, which has the shorter, squarer form of Fig. 2, resembling T. simplex. This fine Terebratula may be known as T. rex.

Abstract Introduction Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (REYGB) amounts for a third of surgical bariatric interventions. Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a long-term complication in REYGB and can be caused by intussusception of bowel, in approximately 0.5% of procedures.  Intussusception in REYBG is mostly attributed to dysmotility. This report demonstrates a rare case of intussusception in REYGB secondary to a benign polyp.  Case description A 45 year old female, three years post REYGB, presented to A&E with acute, extreme upper abdominal pain, with three days absolute constipation. She was tender on examination with normal blood tests. CT scan demonstrated small bowel intussusception. Initial concerns were of intussusception of the jejuno-jejunostomy anastomosis causing SBO.  She had an exploratory laparotomy, which confirmed intussusception, however this was 20cm distal to the jejuno-jejunostomy. Bowel was gently reduced, and deemed viable. On thorough run-through, a small segment at the transition point, was considered abnormal on palpation. This region was resected and a 1x1cm intraluminal polyp was identified as the causative lead point. The patient did well postoperatively.  Discussion Small bowel intussusception in adults is typically attributed to pathological lead point, such as benign or malignant lesions. Intussusception in REYBG is a rare but well-documented cause of intestinal obstruction, usually attributed to dysmotility, secondary to ectopic pacemaker cells particularly around anastomoses. In this case, the intussusception was caused by an unusual pathology separate from the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. We recommend thorough examination of all adjacent bowel to exclude lesions, in this case a polyp, which could result in recurrence.

Abstract:Urethral polyp is a rare finding in young children. These are congenital fibroepithelial benign polyp in the prostatic urethra. They present with acute or intermittent urinary obstruction, hematuria or voiding dysfunction. Their diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion because of variability in presentation. Diagnosis can be made by ultrasonography or micturating cystourethrogram, however cystourethroscopy is confirmatory. Transurethral resection is possible in almost all the cases and recurrence is almost unknown. We report a case of this rare lesion in a male infant with a severe phimosis.

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality affecting the gastrointestinal tract, affecting 4% of the general population. It is classically located on the antimesenteric border of the ileum within 100 cm of the ileocaecal valve. Complications may include haemorrhage, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, perforation and malignancy. This report explores the case of intussusception in an adult, in association with a mesenteric Meckel’s diverticulum and adjacent benign polyp. A 40-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain, affecting the central abdomen and both flanks. CT imaging revealed small bowel intussusception, with either a Meckel’s diverticulum or polyp acting as a lead point. Intraoperatively, the intussusception had already resolved; however, an inflamed outpouching was identified on the mesenteric border of the ileum, with a firm mass palpable within the bowel lumen. A 70 mm small bowel resection and primary anastomosis were performed. Histopathological analysis confirmed an inflamed Meckel’s diverticulum as well as an adjacent diverticulum comprising a benign polyp.

Naming Practices

The important Classic period site of Teotihuacan is renowned for its great size, ancient influence, and intricately decorated polychrome murals. The latter are the focus of the present study, in particular the unique landscape scene from Murals 2 and 3 from Portico 1 of the North Patio of the Atetelco residential compound that depicts a row of toponymic hill signs. The three hills have identical qualifying elements embedded, identified as combinations of an owl and a spearthrower. The murals thus make a repeated reference to a place named “Spearthrower Owl Hill.” The dating of the murals to the Early Xolalpan phase (ca. A.D. 350–450) makes them contemporary with the so-called Teotihuacan entrada into the Maya lowland sites such as Tikal, where hieroglyphic texts make mention of a Teotihuacan-affiliated individual known as “Spearthrower Owl.” From these findings—and based on Mesoamerican naming practices—we go on to suggest that the Atetelco toponym and the historical individual share the name of a common forebear, possibly that of a previously unidentified Teotihuacan martial patron deity. As such, the Early Classic Teotihuacan “Spearthrower Owl” deity has much in common with the legendary Huitzilopochtli of the Late Postclassic Mexica. Our reexamination of the murals from Atetelco shows the enormous potential that further studies in Teotihuacan writing and iconography still have for our understanding of the history and religion of this major Mesoamerican site.

AbstractThe partial skull of a lion from Natodomeri, northwest Kenya is described. The Natodomeri sites are correlated with Member I of the Kibish Formation, dated to between 195 ka and ca. 205 ka. The skull is remarkable for its very great size, equivalent to the largest cave lions (Panthera spelaea [Goldfuss, 1810]) of Pleistocene Eurasia and much larger than any previously known lion from Africa, living or fossil. We hypothesize that this individual represents a previously unknown population or subspecies of lion present in the late Middle and Late Pleistocene of eastern Africa rather than being an indication of climate-driven size increase in lions of that time. This raises questions regarding the extent of our understanding of the pattern and causes of lion evolution in the Late Pleistocene.
