AbstractThe larval morphology of Agabus striolatus (Gyllenhal, 1808) is described from specimens from the Netherlands and Sweden. Descriptions are given of all three larval instars based on specimens taken together with adults. Information is given on the natural history of the species and characters are presented for the separation of this larva from other described larvae of European Agabus.

AbstractThe morphotogy of the second and third larval instars of Hygrotus decoratus (Gyllenhal, 1810) is described from specimens from the Netherlands. The descriptions are based on specimens taken together with adults. Some information is given on the natural history of the species, and characters for separation of the Dutch Hygrotus larvae are presented.

The poorly-known, insular endemic frog species, Minervarya nicobariensis (Stoliczka, 1870) is re-described based on new material from the Nicobar Archipelago. A neotype is designated as its holotype had been lost. Novel data on biology, ecology, distribution and natural history of this poorly known species are provided. Breeding biology and larval morphology are described in detail. Potential threats to the species are discussed and an assessment of its conservation status is attempted.

Fish parasitology has become an enormous field. The preface to this volume explains that the scope has been trimmed by focusing on those parasites most likely to be encountered by aquarists, anglers and naturalists – the external parasites; this approach excludes tapeworms, nematodes and most protozoans. The examples are mainly taken from the British fauna, but readers from other regions will find the subjects familiar.

AbstractThe larval stages of Agabus elongatus (Gyllenhal, 1826) and A. wasastjernae (Sahlberg, 1824) are described from material from northern Sweden. Descriptions are given of all three larval instars based on reared specimens. Information is given on the natural history of the two species and characters are presented for the separation of these larvae from other described larvae of European Agabus.

The herbarium of the wealthy banker George Clifford III, who lived near Haarlem in the Netherlands, was studied by Linnaeus. It forms the basis for Hortus Cliffortianus (1738), one of the principal works on which his famous Species plantarum (1753) was founded. It is this close relationship between Clifford's herbarium and Hortus Cliffortianus together with the frequency with which Linnaeus cited species accounts from that work in the synonymy of accounts in Species plantarum which makes it highly important in the light of the typification of Linnaean plant names. It is well known that the main body of Clifford's herbarium is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Less well known is the existence of a much smaller collection now held at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden. Most of the plants in the London set are mounted with printed vases and ribbons, and have decorative labels. Similar ornaments also occur in the Leiden Clifford herbarium. The use of such ornaments was widespread in the Netherlands in the second quarter of the eighteenth century. In this paper the history of both Clifford herbaria is reconstructed and an attempt made to establish their exact connection by comparison of the handwriting on the labels and the presence of the different printed ornaments.

Abstract The natural history of our moral stance told here in this commentary reveals the close nexus of morality and basic social-cognitive capacities. Big mysteries about morality thus transform into smaller and more manageable ones. Here, I raise questions regarding the conceptual, ontogenetic, and evolutionary relations of the moral stance to the intentional and group stances and to shared intentionality.
