Average Quantity

The rain experienced in January of this year has so much exceeded the average quantity, considerable as that is in the Lake District, that I have been led to consider it worthy of record, especially keeping in mind, that as regards risks from floods, it is not the ordinary, but the extraordinary that is to be guarded against in the construction of all works with which water is concerned as an element of danger.It may not be amiss to premise, that the year preceding, as to weather, was chiefly remarkable for the mildness of the first quarter, for its high summer temperature, for the unusual cold experienced in November, and this succeeded by a mild December. January set in with weather of the same character, and was without any marked peculiarity, excepting its mildness, till the 9th, when rain commenced, and, with the exception of two or three days, continued to fall more or less heavily till the end of the month.

Adna Analysis

Local wild bovids have been determined to be important prey on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (NETP), where hunting game was a major subsistence strategy until the late Neolithic, when farming lifestyles dominated in the neighboring Loess Plateau. However, the species affiliation and population ecology of these prehistoric wild bovids in the prehistoric NETP remain unknown. Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis is highly informative in decoding this puzzle. Here, we applied aDNA analysis to fragmented bovid and rhinoceros specimens dating ∼5,200 y B.P. from the Neolithic site of Shannashuzha located in the marginal area of the NETP. Utilizing both whole genomes and mitochondrial DNA, our results demonstrate that the range of the present-day tropical gaur (Bos gaurus) extended as far north as the margins of the NETP during the late Neolithic from ∼29°N to ∼34°N. Furthermore, comparative analysis with zooarchaeological and paleoclimatic evidence indicated that a high summer temperature in the late Neolithic might have facilitated the northward expansion of tropical animals (at least gaur and Sumatran-like rhinoceros) to the NETP. This enriched the diversity of wildlife, thus providing abundant hunting resources for humans and facilitating the exploration of the Tibetan Plateau as one of the last habitats for hunting game in East Asia.

A marine population of Gasterosteus aculeatus recently isolated in fresh water was found in Bergen, western Norway. This discovery offered the opportunity to study early changes in a population isolated in an environment quite different from what it previously experienced. The population was sampled in 1982, 1987, and 1991. Variation of plate morph frequencies was studied, and a prediction model for the change in frequencies is proposed. An increasing frequency of specimens with four dorsal spines is observed. This may be related to high summer temperature. Changes in morphology were recorded and compared with those in the marine population from which the isolated population originated. Discriminant analysis was used to reveal differentiation in morphometric characters. The main morphometric change recorded was that the isolated population had developed a more compact body, which is probably an adaptation to a less active, more benthic way of living.

High Summer Temperature

The quality properties of black-currant have been investigated in respect of 12 home-grown varieties. Samples were obtained from 6 localities over a period of 3 years. The properties studied were dry matter, pectin and its degree of esterification, acid content, colour strength, and formol value. As regards dry matter, the differences between the varieties were small. A high summer temperature diminished the dry matter values. Some variations existed between the varieties in respect of pectin. Thus Wellington XXX and X contained an abundant amount of pectin, whereas Brödtorp and Black of Lepaa contained little. A high summer temperature lowered the pectin content, but the degree of its esterification remained high. A corresponding effect was noted as a consequence of the degree of north latitude of the place of growth: the amount of pectin was increased and its degree of esterification was lowered towards the north. With respect to the acid content, differences were remarked among the varieties, corresponding approximately to results reported earlier in literature. As a rule, the acid content of the home-grown varieties is higher than the values so reported. Of weather factors, sunshine seems to exercise most influence on the acid content, the acid being increased by a lack of it. Similarly, differences among the varieties were found in colour strength. This property seems to bear a negative correlation to the berry size, since the colouring compounds are localized in the skin part of the berry. The colour strength depends markedly upon the summer temperature, as is evidenced by both the comparison of the different years, and that of the different localities. Slight differences in the formed value were noted between the varieties. However, this value depends substantially upon the degree of maturity; it falls during ripening, a fact which renders comparison difficult.
