Comprehensive Study

In the Transactions of the Edinburgh Geological Society (vol. x, 1912, p. 49, pl. v, f. 8) I gave a figure of an Ichthyocrinid which occurred in No. 1 Bed, Invertiel, along with other members of the family, all of which were referred to ? Forbesiocrinus. In the spring of 1913 I had the pleasure of sending my specimens of flexible crinoids to the eminent crinoid authority, Dr. Frank Springer, of the United States Museum, Washington, who was then engaged on a comprehensive study of the group. For some reason or other I did not forward this particular specimen, probably because I did not think it well enough preserved (No. 939, Fig. 3 of present paper). The other Ichthyocrinids from Invertiel were referred by Springer to his new species Amphicrinus scoticus. It so happens that No. 939 was the only specimen of its kind which I had at that time cleaned and mounted in my collection, although as the sequel will show it is evident that I had found several others in the field, but had erroneously laid them aside as Amphicrinus scoticus. This is a mistake which could easily be made, since I was not then fully aware of the special characters which distinguished A. scoticus.

AbstractChrysopophthorus has a very wide distribution, occurring in four continents. C. chrysopimaginis Goidanich is placed as a new synonym of C. hungaricus (Z.-Kiss), which is transferred here from Helorimorpha (new combination). The other European species, C. elegans Tobias, is distinguished. Five new species are described; C. americanus from the United States, C. tropicalis, C. caribbeanus and C. brasileanus from South and Central America, and C. orientalis from Malaya.

Тhe agromyzid (Diptera: Schizophora: Agromyzidae) fauna of America north of Mexico is described in the first part of this publication, including a genus key and discussions on morphology, life history and classification. The second part is a species-level revision of the family in the “Delmarva” states of the United States of America, that is, of the District of Columbia and the surrounding states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The fauna of this region includes 156 species. This study presents 346 new state and provincial records and 23 new country records, two of which are new continental records (Agromyza abiens Zetterstedt and A. apfelbecki Strobl). Liriomyza endiviae Hering is no longer considered to occur in North America. Fifteen species are newly described: Agromyza echinalissp. nov., Melanagromyza brunkeisp. nov., M. eoflacensissp. nov., M. glyptossp. nov., M. rutellasp. nov., Ophiomyia capitoliasp. nov., O. cupreasp. nov., O. galiodessp. nov., O. heleiossp. nov., O. kaliasp. nov., O. laticolissp. nov., Cerodontha (Poemyza) ungulasp. nov., Phytomyza avicursasp. nov., P. catenulasp. nov., and P. winklerisp. nov. Four new species-level synonyms and one genus-level synonym are provided: Agromyza marmorensis Spencer syn. nov. is included as a synonym of A. aristata Malloch; Melanagromyza fastosa Spencer, syn. nov. is included as a junior synonym of Ophiomyia tiliae (Couden); Melanagromyza verbesinae Spencer is considered a synonym of M. vernoniana Steyskal; Phytomyza ranunculoides Spencer, syn. nov. is included as a junior synonym of Phytomyza loewii Hendel; the genus Liomycina Enderlein, syn. nov. is included as a junior synonym of Phytobia Lioy. Ophiomyia ultima (Spencer), comb. nov. is recombined from Melanagromyza. Euhexomyza albicula Spencer, stat. reinst., comb. nov. is resurrected from synonymy with E. winnemanae (Malloch). New host records are given.

Honor Bridget Fell was born on 22 May 1900, the ninth and last child of Colonel William Edwin Fell and Alice Fell ( née Pickersgill-Cunliffe). She had six sisters and two brothers; one brother, the younger of the two, being a Down’s syndrome child who died aged eight. She was therefore very much the ‘baby’ of the family, the other brother being eight years older than her. She was born at Fowthorpe near Filey in Yorkshire. The family had moved there from Sussex where they owned a farm, Springhead, near Steyning. Her father was a minor landowner but cannot be said to have been a successful farmer. It was his misfortune that he was farming during the worst of the agricultural depression. His main interests were the army and horses, both of which he managed to combine. During the Boer War he spent much of his time in the United States procuring horses for dispatch to the British Army in South Africa. He was keenly interested in nature and animals, and her family think Honor inherited her deep attachment to biology from him. Her mother was a very different type of person. She was extremely practical, a very capable carpenter and no mean architect. She designed the house at Fowthorpe and supervised its construction. She was in every sense the matriarch of the family and carried the burden of bringing up a large family in circumstances that could never have been very easy. She lived to a ripe old age dying in 1951. The families of Fells and Pickersgill-Cunliffe were large and widespread. There was a family journal printed and published quarterly for the sum of 7 shillings per annum. Honor is mentioned on several occasions, notably in the report of her sister Barbara’s wedding where, as a schoolgirl of 13, she appeared carrying her pet ferret, Janie, to the consternation of the rest of the family. In many ways they were a gifted and remarkable family— all had great artistic ability, the brother was a gifted engineer, they all lived into their 80s, and one managed to pass 90.

In describing the shell fish supposed to yield the Tyrian dye, Pliny has adverted to its power of boring the shells of other fish; and Lamarck says that all mollusca, whose shells have a notch at the base of their apertures, are possessed of similar powers. In the other genera of turbinated univalves, the aperture, instead of being notched, is entire, and they have all been proved to be herbivorous. Every turbinated univalve which Mr. Dillwyn has examined of the older beds, from the transition limestone to the lias, belongs to these herbivorous genera, and the family still inhabits our land and waters. On the contrary, all the carnivorous genera abound in the strata above the chalk, but are very rare in the secondary strata. In recent shells small holes bored by the predaceous Trachelipoda are common; and Mr. Dillwyn has observed similar holes in fossils from the London clay, but never in those of the older formations; and he thinks that the whole family of carnivorous Trachelipoda are very rare in all those strata where the Ammonites and other Nautilidæ abound. Ammonites, and the other principal multilocular genera, appear to have become extinct in northern latitudes when the chalk formation was completed: but a few of the Nautilidæ still inhabit the Southern Ocean. Mr. Dillwyn further observes, that all the marine genera of the herbivorous Trachelipoda, to which the fossil species belong, have an operculum, and that the carnivorous species of the secondary strata agree with them in this particular, though the unoperculated genera abound in the London clay. Although fossil Nautilidæ are common in the secondary strata of the United States, they are said not to have been found in South America. Hence, says the author, it may be queried whether the Cephalopoda were not confined to the more northern latitudes when the chalk formation was completed; and whether a decrease in the earth’s temperature at that period may not have occasioned the entire destruction of some genera, and the migration of others to the south.

Six new species of Collembola of the family Arrhopalitidae are described from the United States (Pygmarrhopalites leonardwoodensis sp. nov., P. plethorasari sp. nov., P. youngsteadtii sp. nov., P. buffaloensis sp. nov., P. shoshoneiensis sp. nov., and P. ashcraftensis sp. nov.) from caves in Missouri (2 spp.), Arkansas (2 spp.), Nevada, and Indiana, respectively.

Abstract The 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is caused by a zoonotic coronavirus transmitted to humans, similar to earlier events. Whether the other, seasonally circulating coronaviruses induce cross-reactive, potentially even cross-neutralizing, antibodies to the new species in humans is unclear. The question is particularly relevant for people with immune deficiencies, as their health depends on treatment with immunoglobulin preparations that need to contain neutralizing antibodies against the pathogens in their environment. Testing 54 intravenous immunoglobulin preparations, produced from plasma collected in Europe and the United States, confirmed highly potent neutralization of a seasonal coronavirus; however, no cross-neutralization of the new SARS-CoV-2 was seen.
