New ammonite faunas are described from sections along Bighorn and Scalp creeks in central-western Alberta where Lower Jurassic parts of the Fernie Formation are exposed. The first record of the upper Sinemurian Obtusum Zone from the Fernie is based on the occurrence of Asteroceras cf. stellare and Epophioceras cf. breoni in the basal pebbly coquina on Bighorn Creek. The overlying Red Deer Member has yielded Amaltheus cf. stokesi, representing the upper Pliensbachian Margaritatus Zone; in immediately superjacent strata the first North American examples of ?Amauroceras occur together with Protogrammoceras and ?Aveyroniceras. In the basal parts of the overlying Poker Chip Shale a fauna including Harpoceras cf. falciferum, Harpoceratoides, Polyplectus cf. subplanatus, Hildaites cf. serpentiniformis, and Dactylioceras cf. athleticum is correlated with the lower Toarcian Falciferum Zone.The upper parts of the Poker Chip Shale on Fording River in southeastern British Columbia contain a fauna representing some part of the upper Toarcian, but owing to poor preservation, generic identifications are only tentatively made.

An unusually large specimen of the rare digitate to bladed Aulocopella winnipegensis Rauff and three relatively normal sized specimens of ashtray-shaped Hudsonospongia? sp. constitute the first record of demosponges from the Upper Ordovician Beaverfoot Formation in southeastern British Columbia and the first record of these taxa from western Canada. Gross form and canal structure are well preserved, but dolomitization and (or) coarse microsphaeroidal silicification have obliterated spicules and other structural details. We interpret these sponges as epifaunal recliners, without means of attachment to the substrate, a life mode rarely encountered in the modern sponge biota.

AbstractThe cave-living and monobasic fungus gnat genusSpeoleptaEdwards is reviewed with a description of the first Nearctic species,Speolepta vockerothisp. nov., from Canada (caves in Ontario and British Columbia) and the United States (Alaska). Its morphology, life history, and biology are documented and compared with the single European speciesSpeolepta leptogaster(Winnertz). A further new species,Speolepta orientalissp.nov., is described based on a single male from northern Vietnam, representing the first record of this genus from the Oriental Region.

A Symbos skull fragment from Pleistocene deposits of northern British Columbia constitutes the first record of that genus for the province. In Canada, remains of this large muskox have been collected previously in western Yukon and southeastern Saskatchewan. Most of the other known specimens have been found in Alaska and the central United States, and the Canadian occurrences help to link these two areas of Symbos range. Symbos was adapted to warmer surroundings than Ovibos—perhaps a steppe or parkland environment.

 The genus Naraoia Walcott, 1912, a Burgess Shale-type fossil known from the lower and middle Cambrian of British Columbia (Canada), Idaho and Utah (USA), as well as from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces (China), is now reported from the middle Cambrian of Murero (Zaragoza, Spain), which is the first record in the Acadobaltic province. The only fragmented specimen found is determined as Naraoia sp., its age being Pardailhania multispinosa Zone (Drumian Stage). This new datum reinforces the hypothesis of the existence of a cosmopolitan faunal substrate in early Cambrian times, which is to some extent refl ected in the mid Cambrian by faunal groups of low evolutionary potential as the family Naraoiidae and other soft-bodied fossil taxa.

Bryobia lagodechiana Reck, 1953, was originally found on bedstraw, or cleavers, Galium sp., growing at an elevation of about 6,890 to 7,220 feet above sea level in the Lagodekhsky reserve of the Armenian S.S.R. (Reck, 1953; Bagdasarian, 1957). A mite believed, on the basis of illustrations and descriptions only, to be the same species was found by the author in one locality in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. It was first observed on June 6, 1958, when about 10 female mites were noticed feeding on common horsetail, Equisetum arvense L., growing at an elevation of 3,300 to 3,500 feet near Orofino Creek on Mount McCaig, known locally as Orofino Mountain. The site, which was partially shaded by fairly heavy stands of tall coniferous trees, was somewhat boggy, and would undoubtedly be flooded during the spring run-off of Orofino Creek. Luxurious pure stands of this horsetail are common in such sites and, except for moss, it is often the predominant plant in many creek-bottom areas. An additional 20 female mites were collected at the same site on June 12, 1958. No males, or immature stages, were seen on either date. This is the first record outside southern Russia of the occurrence of a mite closely resembling B. lagodechiana, and the first report of the occurrence of any species of Bryobia on plants of the family Equisetaceae. The slide-mounted specimens are in the Canadian National Collection.

In 1996, a windbreak planting of Abies concolor (Gordon & Glend.) Lindl. ex Hildebr. and A. lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt. on a Christmas tree farm in Lamoille County, VT, incurred tip blight caused by a Delphinella sp. Although only scattered new shoots of the intermixed A. concolor and nearby A. balsamea (L.) Mill. were killed, more than 75% of the new shoots in the lower 1.8 m of the crowns of A. lasiocarpa were killed. This posed the question, whether the pathogen was the native D. balsameae (A. M. Waterman) E. Müller in E. Müller & Arx or whether the western species, D. abietis (Rostr.) E. Müller in E. Müller had been introduced. Dead 1996 shoots were collected from all species on 15 July. Most ascomata were immature. However, occasional ascomata bore well-developed bitunicate asci with hyaline, uniseptate ascospores averaging 40 × 9 μm, confirming the pathogen was D. balsameae (1). Funk reported this pathogen on A. lasiocarpa in British Columbia without documentation; this is the first record of it attacking this species in eastern North Amer-ica. Although the seed source was unknown, the extreme susceptibility of A. lasiocarpa in comparison to other Abies spp. in the area suggests that caution should be used in planting this species in the Northeast.
