During the interval which has elapsed since the subject-matter of this paper was presented in lecture form, a memoir has been completed by the Cenozoic Research Laboratory of the Geological Survey of China, on the subject of “ Fossil Man in China ” and ancillary problems of Cenozoic research in that area (Black and others, 1933). By reason of this fortunate circumstance it has become possible to incorporate in the present communication a resume of the chief geological, palaeontological, and archaeological conclusions to which we have been led as a result of the completion to its present stage of that wider study. It is a pleasure to acknowledge here my indebtedness to my friends and colleagues of the staff of the Cenozoic Research Laboratory, without whose cordial co-operation and assistance the present paper could not have been written. To my friends Dr. V. K. Ting, Honorary Director of Cenozoic Research in China, and Dr. Wong Wen Hao, Director of the Geological Survey of China, I wish also to express again my most hearty thanks for their unfailing help and support throughout the whole course of my work in China. I wish further to thank Dr. Wong for permission to use here, in modified form, a number of illustrations which have appeared earlier in publications either of the Geological Survey, or of the Geological Society, of China. The general physiography and location of the Choukoutien area is admirably illustrated in Professor G. B. Barbour’s two block diagrams, figs. 1 and 2, and in the three field sketches by the same artist of the immediate Choukoutien terrain, here reproduced in fig. 3. I am much indebted to Professor Barbour for his kindness in preparing and permitting me to use these instructive and artistic illustrations.

In the paper based on conceptual provisions put forward by Prof. Kozlova, the author sets the objective to identify tendencies that manifest themselves in the development of constitutional and legal institutions at the present stage taking into account the dynamics of the subject of legal regulation, as well as the ongoing transformation of the Russian legal system. In this regard, the author has examined the problem of expanding the field of relations regulated under constitutional law. The author has concluded about the blurring of boundaries between institutions of constitutional law, which entails the problem of attribution of norms to a particular institution. The paper has analyzed the issue of emergence of intersectoral institutions that can be characterized as neither public nor private, as neither substantive nor procedural. This leads to the need to change the very approach to the concept of “institution of law.” It is concluded that constitutional law institutions can contain unwritten legal regulators that can include both rules of natural law and rules of conduct developed directly in the society.

The Subject

The spectrum of radium emanation was first measured visually by Sir William Ramsay and Prof. Collie in 1904. In 1908 a list wave-lengths deduced from four photograph was published by Sir William Ramsay and Mr. Cameron, together with an addendum in which the wave-lengths of a number of extra lines were given. About the same time, measurements of 73 lines were published by Prof. Rutherford and Mr. Royds, many of these measurements being afterwards confirmed by Mr. Royds with the aid of a grating spectrograph. In the meantime, however, it was observed by Mr. Royds that the lines given by Cameron and Ramsay in the above-mentioned addendum appeared spectra being too marked to be accidental. At the same time the spectrum as given by Cameron and Ramsay was not very dissimilar to that of Rutherford and Royds, and so, although the values of the latter authors were afterwards fully confirmed by their grating measurements, yet it seemed advisable to have independent of the emanation spectrum have been taken and compared with Cameron and Ramsay's original negative with a view to accounting for the discrepancy between the results previously obtained, and the results of this investigation form the subject matter of the present communication.

The Subject

Though the conspicuous volcanic phenomena of the Fifeshire coast-line have for long attracted the attention of petrologists, the igneous geology of the interior has not been studied in any detail. The petrological sections of the relative Geological Survey Memoirs, together with Geikie's Ancient Volcanoes, describe numerous inland vents and intrusions, while a large number of the doleritic sills has recently been made the subject of a most interesting paper by Mr D. Balsillie, but a belt of country stretching from St Andrews to Loch Leven proved to be practically virgin ground from the point of view of the igneous geologist. It is the intrusions of this area, together with a few pyroclastic deposits, which form the subject of the present communication. Only rocks which have hitherto been undescribed are treated petrologically, though in the case of several better known intrusions alterations of the published maps have been found necessary.

My interest in cleat was first aroused by the study of the Geological Survey memoir on the coals of South Wales (1908), from which it became clear to me that the subject of the origin of anthracite was intimately bound up with that of cleat. The object of the present communication is, however, not directly connected with the anthracite question, upon which I hope to have something to say when researches upon which I am engaged with Mr. E. J. Edwards, M.Sc., of Cardiff, have reached a more advanced stage.

Opening Paragraph

Opening ParagraphWherever native courts have been established and maintain W records of their proceedings, there is available a mass of material concerning native law and custom which, properly regarded, may be of great value to the ethnographer as well as to the administrator. In Tanganyika Territory, from one portion of which the material for the present paper is derived, the making of elaborate records of evidence and judgements is deprecated at the present stage of development, as likely to interfere with the smooth working of the courts. A minimum is required of the names of parties, a brief statement of the subject-matter, and a short judgement signed by the holder of the court, be he chief, headman, or chairman of a council. Under such circumstances, a study of records will show, at the least, the types of social maladjustment which bring people to court, with the relative frequency of different kinds of case: the manner in which different types of case are viewed by the court, whether as offences against society or as affecting only families or individuals: and probably some general indication of the tone of the society. From this type of record there will be an upward range to the most valuable of all for the student, those containing a precis of evidence and a full reasoned judgement.

The Relationship

This publication presents a review of the monograph by Sardaryan G.T. “The Holy See and Democracy”. The title of the work attracts attention, first, because of the fundamental nature of its two components, and secondly, because of the non-obvious nature of the relationship between them. The monograph consists of two parts. The first part is historical, while the second part is focused on the present stage of the RCC development. The author of the publication notes that the work is written in an accessible language, is characterized by consistency and clarity of presentation of thoughts. According to the author, the book can be recommended not only to experts in the field of political science and experts in the subject matter under study, but also to a wide range of persons interested in the history and politics of the Vatican.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.
