Two alkaline igneous complexes and three lines of diatreme breccias were emplaced in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake during the lower Proterozoic. Field relationships suggest that those rocks are broadly cogenetic and were emplaced about 2.1 Ga ago.One of the intrusions, the Easter Island dyke, was rotated subsequent to emplacement such that both top and bottom are now exposed. Field and petrographic data are indicative of progressive differentiation along (i.e., up) the dyke and are substantiated by chemical data. The differentiation history of the early gabbros of the Blachford Lake complex is similar. Late differentiates of both complexes closely resemble the igneous matrices of the breccias and petrographic and chemical data support the proposal of cogenesis and contemporaneity.The field data show that there was a period of significant faulting and concomitant alkaline igneous activity in the East Arm area in the lower Proterozoic.

On a small island off south-western Australia, tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus, Elapidae) continue to survive, feed, grow and reproduce successfully after being blinded by seagulls defending their chicks. We propose two alternative hypotheses to explain this surprising result: either vision is of trivial importance in tiger snake foraging, or the blinded snakes survive on a diet of abundant immobile prey that cannot escape their approach. Laboratory studies in which we blindfolded snakes falsified the first hypothesis: snakes that were unable to see had great difficulty in capturing mobile prey. Field data support the second hypothesis: blind snakes feed almost entirely on seagull chicks, whereas normal-sighted animals also took fast-moving prey (lizards and mice). Thus, the ability of tiger snakes on Carnac Island to survive without vision is attributable to the availability of abundant helpless prey (seagull chicks) in this insular ecosystem.

In vitro collapse of DNA by trivalent cations like spermidine produces torus (donut) shaped DNA structures thought to have a DNA organization similar to certain double stranded DNA bacteriophage and viruses. This has prompted our studies of these structures using freeze-etch low Pt-C metal (9Å) replica TEM. With a variety of DNAs the TEM and biochemical data support a circumferential DNA winding model for hydrated DNA torus organization. Since toruses are almost invariably oriented nearly horizontal to the ice surface one of the most accessible parameters of a torus population is annulus (ring) thickness. We have tabulated this parameter for populations of both nicked, circular (Fig. 1: n=63) and linear (n=40: data not shown) ϕX-174 DNA toruses. In both cases, as can be noted in Fig. 1, there appears to be a compact grouping of toruses possessing smaller dimensions separated from a dispersed population possessing considerably larger dimensions.
