The membership of the African Studies Association now numbers 1,731— 734 fellows, 618 associates, and 379 student associates. Some 700 of these participated in the eleventh annual meeting of the Association. Although attendance was considerably below the 1,300 registered at the New York Hilton in 1967 and the nearly 1,000 who made their way to the University of Indiana in 1966, there is no indication that this reflects a declining interest in African studies in the United States. Rather, the A.S.A. custom of bringing its annual meetings in turn to scholars in the north-east, on the Pacific coast, and in the Middle West results in predictable fluctations in registration.

Kinship Relations

At a general level this paper is concerned with the problem of anthropological interpretation of kinship and its significance in peasant communities. In specific terms I describe and discusss a striking difference in interpretation by two observers, Forman and myself, with regard to the form and significance of kinship relations in two communities on the North East Brazilian littoral. The disparity between our conclusions brings up basic questions of a methodological and epistemological kind in much the same way as do Red- field and Lewis's findings in Tepoztlan.

Abstract The North East State Foresters Association (NEFA) commissioned a study that resulted in the publication of a report titled, “A Forest Resource Model of the States of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.” In this article we used the integrated NEFA computer simulation framework to go beyond the reported results and further explore the effects on the forest resource in terms of timber harvest, inventory, and price under various market and demand assumptions. Five scenarios were run through the integrated SRTS-ATLAS model to project long-run effects on timber inventory (growing stock) and price. Besides reflecting differing assumptions about demand and supply, these scenarios defined different markets, thus affecting how the wood harvest was allowed to move across the region in response to demand. Regionally, at the end of the 50 yr projection period, cubic-foot growth and harvest were approximately in balance in the Reference Case, the scenario that we felt was most likely. Initial inventory on all timberland was 66.7 billion ft3. By 2050, inventory volume increased 13% to 75.4 billion ft3. Net growth declined over the 50 yr period from 35.3 to 32.1 ft3 ac-1 yr-1, while harvest increased from 26.6 to 31.9 ft3 ac-1 yr-1. Regional real price increased approximately 1.1% yr-1 over the period. Changes in the resource situation in one state affect the situation in the other states. There is a mutual dependence in markets that policy makers need to recognize. The integration of a market module into the NEFA modeling process added the interplay of market forces and improved upon the policy information available from the model.

Granulocytic Anaplasmosis

Abstract Background Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is an increasingly common tickborne infection in the North-East United States. Statewide incidence of human cases of anaplasmosis in New York (excluding New York City) increased 407% from 2010–2017, with a corresponding increase in Anaplasma phagocytophilum prevalence in ticks. While previous observational studies have described the clinical features of HGA, there has been little documentation of HGA diagnosed in the emergency department (ED) setting. Methods Demographic and clinical data were extracted from electronic records of cases with a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HGA or the closely related clinical entity ehrlichiosis from 2016 to 2017. HGA and ehrlichiosis PCR were performed by the Albany Medical Center laboratory on patients treated in the ED. Basic descriptive analyses were performed. Results During the 2-year period, there were 37 cases of PCR-positive HGA and four cases of PCR-positive ehrlichiosis treated in the ED. Electronic data were available for extraction for 40 of these cases. Mean age was 54 years old (range 7–94 years). Thirty-four (85%) patients presented with fever, and 9 (23%) reported a tick bite or tick exposure. Twenty-two (55%) patients had leukopenia; 32 (80%) thrombocytopenia; 26 (65%) hyponatremia; 24 (60%) elevated transaminases; 38 (95%) at least one of these laboratory abnormality; and 13 (33%) all four laboratory abnormalities. Twenty-four patients (60%) were given the empiric diagnosis of a tickborne illness upon disposition from the ED, with 19 (48%) patients admitted to the hospital. Conclusion To our knowledge, this study represents the first description of patients diagnosed with HGA (and ehrlichiosis) in the ED setting. Because of the inherent testing bias, further study is needed to establish the true ED prevalence of HGA in highly endemic regions. Notably, only 23% reported either a tick bite or tick exposure, highlighting the need to consider this for diagnosis in patients presenting to the ED with consistent symptoms and laboratory findings in endemic areas. Further study might explore whether there exists a collection of laboratory findings that could accurately identify HGA in ED patients. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Primary Focus

A primary focus of research on plant use by Native Americans in temperate north-eastern North America has been on the adoption of agricultural crops domesticated elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. The adoption of the triad maize, common bean, and squash, particularly, has been seen as transformative—changing mobile hunter-gatherers into sedentary or semi-sedentary agriculturists. Based on a decade and a half of research, focused on central New York, it is now established that the three crops have separate histories and that their respective adoptions did not lead to major changes in subsistence systems. Much of this shift is based on microbotanical research. Intensive sampling and analysis of macrobotanical remains have similarly extended our knowledge of wild plant use in the North-east. There is a distinct need to build multiple lines of evidence across the North-east in order to build more comprehensive understandings of crop histories.

The Town

Near the western border of the state of Massachusetts, more than 100 miles from the sea, stand the Berkshire Hills, remnants of an ancient and imposing range of mountains. The countryside is dotted with small one-industry cities, with prosperous farms, with relics of iron mining and the heavy industry of 125 years ago, and with the country estates of the wealthy from Boston and New York. In the heart of the Berkshires, about 140 miles from those two great cities of the North-east, lies the town of Lenox, a near-perfect example of what Americans across all our 3,000 miles like to think of as a typical New England community—wide streets, unbroken expanses of green lawn, an old white and gracefully steepled Congregational Church on the highest hill near the centre of the town. For forty-six weeks in the year the population of Lenox is under 3,000 persons, but on a sunny Sunday afternoon early in August it may hold five times as many within its borders. Lenox is the home of the Berkshire Music Centre and the Berkshire Festival.
