AbstractA sequence of eleven faunal units characterized by pelagic foraminifera and embodying thirteen significant events has been recognized in the Tertiary of Victoria. They form a continuous sequence from the Upper Eocene to the Middle Miocene. Some of these events have been recognized in the same order in New Zealand, Europe, North America, the Caribbean region, and Saipan.

The Caribbean

Since Fidel Castro came to power nearly a quarter-century ago, diplomats from Latin America, politicians from North America, and academics from both hemispheres have been asking how to involve Cuba in the Caribbean peacemaking process. More often than may be warranted by evidence, they have assumed that Cuban interests are consonant with those of the other states of the Caribbean region. Any objection to the word interests as being too strong is met by a barrage of rhetorical arguments purporting to demonstrate that, at the very least, a modus vivendi is possible. But Cuban communism is a sore thumb and not easily disposed of by appeals to use the opposite hand.

A revision of the genera Galeolaria and Pyrgopolon (Polychaeta: Serpulidae), with discussions on opercular insertion as a character in their taxonomy and relationships, and their zoogeography

While earlier works have shown that the operculum is inserted in the position of the first or second branchial radiole in serpulimorph taxa, the present paper shows that it is inserted independently of the branchial radioles of both sides in the genera Galeolaria and Pyrgopolon. Although both genera possess several characters in common with the group consisting of Pomatoleios, Pomatoceros and Spirobranchus, a cladistic analysis revealed that they form two distinct clades, as sister groups to each other. Extant species of Pyrgopolon occur mainly in the Caribbean region, and of Galeolaria in eastern Australia and New Zealand. However, there is palaeontological evidence indicating that fossil species of Pyrgopolon had a wider geographical distribution, having existed in Europe during geological times.

This report offers a brief overview of recent population figures, types of educational programs, and selected topics of present interest and relevance to educators of blind and visually impaired students in the U.S.A., Canada, and the Caribbean. While not intended to be comprehensive or statistically exacting, it is hoped that this discussion will be useful in informing our colleagues in other areas of the world about some of the current concerns of professionals in the North America-Caribbean region.

In the recent discussion of finds of paleo-Indian type at El Jobo, Venezuela, comparisons were made with other material in the Caribbean region and in North America (Cruxent and Rouse 1956). Turning in the opposite direction, to the rest of South America, we find that the El Jobo projectile points show a rather marked resemblance to those of the Ayampitín site in central Argentina, if we may judge from the drawings published by Rex González (1952, Pl. 13). The Ayampitín points, like those of El Jobo, are predominantly leaf shaped, but with a minority of stemmed forms. The two are relatively crudely rechipped on both surfaces, finely retouched along the edges, and in some cases serrated. The Ayampitín points are of quartz; the El Jobo specimens, of quartzite.

Phylogenetic Affinities

AbstractThe dense Miocene record of cetaceans is known from localities along the coasts of all continents, mostly in the northern Atlantic or the eastern Pacific regions, but Antarctica. Fossils from the Caribbean region are few and include of a couple of findings from Panama and Venezuela. Here, we report a partly complete skull from the Caujarao Formation (middle Miocene), Falcon State, Caribbean region of Venezuela. Our phylogenetic analyses indicate that the Caujarao specimen is a ‘stem delphinidan’, a group that includes several taxa of early diverging odontocetes whose phylogenetic affinities remain a matter of debate. The fossil record has shown that this group of stem delphinidans was taxonomically diverse, but displayed a somewhat homogeneous cranial patterning, with most of the variations being found within the mandible or tympanoperiotic characters. As other stem delphinidans the Caujarao odontocete displays an enlarged temporal fossa and a fairly symmetrical cranium. Because the skull is missing several key diagnostic characters due to the preservation state of the specimen, a more precise taxonomic identification is not possible. Despite this, the finding of this specimen highlights the importance of the fossil record from the Neogene of Venezuela, and the importance of the area to understand cetacean evolution in the proto-Caribbean.
