My flight from List, Germany, to Chicago, via Greenland and Labrador, was made in July and August of 1931. I had previously made a similar flight to America in 1930 when I chose the south point of Greenland and became very much impressed by this magnificently interesting country. Ever since that flight I had a strong desire to explore this country more closely. My desire for a second flight became acute when we, in Germany, received the first reports of the British Arctic Air-Route Expedition, under the leadership of Mr. Watkins.Their weather reports for our prospective flight were very favourable and I immediately set to work to organise my second venture.

The area between Helgenæs and Kap Brewster, a total of approximately 2000 km2 (north of 700 N) was mapped systematically by two parties, and selected reconnaissance traverses were made in adjacent areas south of 70° in order to obtain a clearer picture of the regional structure. The northem part of the area consists of almost vertical, north-facing cliffs rising to over 1000 m stretching for 120 km interrupted by hanging glaciers. In the east these cliffs drop to about 300 m at Kap Brewster and to low cliffs and beaches on the south-east coast of Savoia Halvø. The zone of hanging glaciers presented a particular problem since they hide the exposure at a fairly constant level from about 1000 to 1200 m (plateau level) making traversing and correlation possibilities at this height very limited. Inland the area is covered by the ice cap from which nunataks rise to 2000 m.

Soil-cement bricks are good examples of environmentally friendly products. This brick is the combination of soil with compacted cement with no combustion in its production. In this work the physical chemical characteristics of the soil from Piaui for producing this material were investigated. Samples of the soil were collected in three potteries from the county of Bom Jesus and pH analysis were carried out, as well as the rate of organic matter, texture, particle density, limits of liquidity and plasticity rates. The results have shown that the soils have acid tones (pH 5,49 a 6,11), which can be neutralized by adding cement, and organic matter percentages up to 1%. The samples have shown predominantly clay-rich textures with adequate plasticity limits, however, values of liquidity limits and particle density above recommended. Altogether, these soils tend to present viability concerning soil-cement brick production, provided that corrections with additives are made in order to minimize this effect.

This section, which was completed last year, appears of such value and interest to students of the Tertiary strata of the London Basin, that I have thought it worth while to offer a description of it to the readers of the Geological Magazine. Through the courtesy of Dr. Barton, the Governor of the Asylum, I have had free access to the specimens preserved of the various strata passed through, and very careful use of them has been made in the preparation of the tabulated statement which follows; much of the information having been kindly furnished from the engineers who were employed. The Asylum is situated at Knap Hill, about a mile and a quarter from Brookwood Station on the South-Western Eailway, and is on the Upper Bagshot Sands. The mouth of the well is in the valley just below, about 140 feet above O. D., and about the same level as that at which the Middle Bagshot Beds occur in the famous Goldsworthy section, which furnished Prof. Prestwich, some forty years ago, with the clue to the succession of the beds of the Bagshot Formation. It is about a mile and a half distant therefrom. The evidence as to the horizon in the Bagshot Series, at which the well commences, is very clear to those who are familiar with the stratigraphy. The widely-extended pebble-bed at the base of the Upper Bagshot Sands occurs here very near the top of the well, and I saw it exposed again at about the same level in an excavation made by the side of the high road which runs along the western side of the Asylum Estate. The same greenish loamy sand was intermingled with the pebbles in both cases. In the ploughed field a stiff yellow loam, such as so commonly occurs above this pebble-bed in the Bagshot area, crops out in the valley where the well is situated. The ‘brown sandy bed’ which occurs at the top of the section is probably a portion of this, re-constructed by later drift action, and mingled with more sandy materials washed down from the sandy strata situated at higher levels on the slopes of the valley.

Formerly there were several surface brine springs in the North-East Coalfield; to-day there are none. From the many accounts of their occurrence nothing has been learned of their exact position, and very little of the composition of their waters. The earliest record, made in 1684, described the Butterby spring (Todd, 1684), and then at various times during the next two centuries brine springs at Framwellgate, Lumley, Birtley, Walker, Wallsend, Hebburn, and Jarrow were noted. In particular the Birtley salt spring is often mentioned, and on the 6-in. Ordnance map, Durham No. 13, 1862 edition, it is sited to the south-east of the village. Although no record has been found there must have been either a brine spring or well at Gateshead, for the name of the present-day suburb, Saltwell, is very old, and brine springs are still active in the coal workings of that area.

When visiting Mundesley, in Norfolk, in September, 1916, the present author found upon the shore, in close proximity to an exposure of clay which he now considers to be referable to the Cromer Forest Bed Series, a very finely-made and large flint flake, of human manufacture. This discovery induced him to again visit Mundesley, and during this year (1919) close upon three weeks have been spent in an examination of the stretch of cliffs and shore lying between Trimingham, to the north-west of Mundesley, and Bacton, which lies to the south-east.The author's researches have been greatly helped by the co-operation of three friends, Professor A. S. Barnes, Mr. Walter B. Nichols, and the Hon. Robert Gathorne-Hardy, who accompanied him to Mundesley, and to whom he offers his warmest thanks. He would, however, wish to make it clear that these gentlemen are in no way responsible for the statements made in this paper. For these the author is solely responsible.

В статье представлен погребальный комплекс эпохи ранних кочевников IV в. до н. э. из некрополя Переволочан I на Южном Урале. Рассматриваемое погребение было устроено в центре подкурганной площадки кургана 12. Погребение относится к сооружениям дромосного типа. Обращает на себя внимание найденный инвентарь: предметы вооружения, элементы конской сбруи, ювелирные украшения, золотые обкладки деревянных чаш. Конструктивные особенности курганной насыпи, дромосное устройство могильной ямы, богатый сопроводительный материал позволяют отнести данный комплекс к погребениям кочевой элиты. В публикации дается анализ погребального обряда, инвентаря, а также хронология погребения. The paper reports on a burial assemblage dating to the period of the early nomads of the 4th century BC from Perevolochan I, which is a cemetery located in the South Urals region. The grave in question was made in the center of the area under kurgan 12. The kurgan is attributed to the dromos type of constructions. The discovered funerary offerings, including weaponry, elements of horse trappings, jewelry pieces, gold plates of wooden cups, are worth mentioning. The construction features of the kurgan mound, the dromos type of the burial pit structure, rich offerings suggest that this is a grave of the nomadic elite. The paper analyzes the funerary rite, the funerary offerings and the grave chronology.

AimsThis evaluation aimed to identify patient, practitioner and infrastructural barriers to initiation of clozapine treatment in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). In response to recent research supporting use of clozapine as the most effective treatment for patients with TRS, concerted efforts have been made to establish why clozapine is underutilised in the NHS. Following a study conducted by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, which identified barriers and made recommendations, this evaluation aimed to identify barriers to initiation of clozapine in patients under the care of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust.This evaluation also aimed to make further recommendations to increase use of clozapine in Mersey Care's TRS patients and assess whether there have been any differences to concerns about clozapine initiation compared to previous evaluations.MethodAn online questionnaire containing a series of Likert scales was e-mailed to all Consultant Psychiatrists in Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. The questionnaire asked Consultants to rate how often they felt a range of barriers interfered with successful initiation of Clozapine treatment. The barriers chosen were based on the 2019 systematic review “Barriers to using clozapine in treatment-resistant schizophrenia.”ResultNineteen consultant psychiatrists completed the online questionnaire. All 19 indicated they either “agreed” (16%) or “strongly agreed” (84%) that they were confident in diagnosing TRS. This was a significant increase compared to the South London and Maudsley evaluation, with only 81% of participants in that study being “fairly familar” or “very familiar” with clozapine guidelines.Furthermore, concerns about inadequate blood testing facilities appear to have been addressed, with no participants in this evaluation staing there were insufficient blood testing facilities. However, 53% of Consultants who completed this evaluation stated they “often” (37%) or “very often” (16%) have patients who refuse clozapine because of the requirement for regular blood testing. Refusal to agree to required blood testing was the commonest reason identified for failure to initiate clozapine in TRS patients. This was consistent with the results from the South London and Maudsley study.ConclusionThose Mersey Care consultants surveyed identified that providing patients with further information about clozapine would be the most valuable intervention to increase likelihood of uptake of clozapine in the treatment of TRS. Significant progress has been made in improving the likelihood that clozapine can be successfully initiated, especially in the removal of practitioner barriers. This evaluation suggests interventions should now be aimed at reducing patient barriers to initiation of treatment.

The first objective in this area was the Grotta Paglicci (FIG. I), a cave opening into the cretaceous limestone on the south side of the great karstic plateau, just below the village of Rignano. Here, in 1957, three of the author's colleagues, Professors A. Pasa and S. Ruffo, and Sig. Messena collected bone and stone artifacts of Palaeolithic date from the tip of a vast excavation which a mad treasure hunter had been carrying out in the cave for several years. When I visited the site in 1960 to make the preparations for a proper excavation, I discovered to my dismay that in the meantime this same treasure hunter, in spite of dissuasion, had been continuing his devastation with the help of explosives and had caused the fmal collapse of the entrance to the cave, completely obscuring its natural morphology. With meagre hopes of finding any part of the deposit intact, a start was made in the following April 1961 patiently to clear the mouth of the cave to see what could be saved. Fortunately an area of undisturbed deposit was found sealed below some large blocks of the fallen roof and furthermore a passage was cleared through the treasure hunter's debris towards the interior of the cave.
