Abstract This article explores three elements of Laura Nader’s work through an ethnographic description and analysis of the author’s encounters with her over a thirty-year period. It reflects upon aspects of her ethnographic, political, and ethical commitments, how these elements manifest themselves in her written work, and how they have influenced the projects and careers of her students and colleagues over the past six decades. The piece concludes with an annotated list of aphorisms that have provided counsel, guidance, and inspiration to many anthropologists during the course of her career.

English Music

In the past years a number of manuscripts and small fragments have come to light which enlarge in various degrees our knowledge of 15th-century music in England. It may be useful to give a brief annotated list:1.British Museum, Add. MS 40011 B. Flyleaves from a Memorandum Book of Fountains Abbey containing three- and four-part settings of the Mass, and a few motets some of which are incomplete. The fragment is valuable especially for the concordances with the Old Hall MS.2.British Museum, Egerton MS 3307. Thematic catalogue: Schofield, The Musical Quarterly XXXII (1946), 509. This manuscript is one of the most important recent additions to English music of the Renaissance. It transmits a series of sacred compositions for Holy Week, and, in a separate part, carols with English words and Latin cantilenas for two and three voices. Of particular interest are a three-voice composition of the old Goliard song O potores exquisiti and a four-part motet Cantemus Domino socie, based in its text on the beginning of an elegy by Sedulius.

Annotated List

During the past four years Mr. Douglas C. Ferguson has collected dragonflies in Nova Scotia thereby greatly increasing our knowledge of the geographical distribution of these insects within the province. He very generously presented to the writer his entire collections comprising 327 specimens of 51 species, four of these being new records for the Maritime Provinces and two others being new for Nova Scotia. In the annotated list of species below these new records are indicated as follows: New records for the Maritime Provinces are indicated by a double asterisk (**). Records which are new for Nova Scotia only, are indicated by a single asterisk (*). A better representation of the widely distributed northern genus Somatochlora whould have been expected in a collection of this size made from the territory covered, in view of the fact that at least eight species are known to occur in thls territory. The reasons for their escaping capture is doubtless due, in part, to the restricted habitat occupied by many of the species, and in part to the difficulty of collecting specimens.

Aquatic Oligochaetes

In this paper, we present the results of the first survey for aquatic oligochaetes in Lake Çıldır, northeastern Turkey, during which 22 oligochaete species were recorded from the lake. The results of this survey were integrated into an updated and annotated list of oligochaetes and other aquatic annelids occurring in the country, summarized from historical and recent publications. Currently, the freshwater annelid fauna of Turkey includes 150 species of oligochaetes (1 Crassiclitellata, 21 Enchytraeidae, 1 Propappidae, 1 Haplotaxidae, 4 Lumbriculidae, 56 Naidinae, 64 Tubificinae, 2 Lumbricidae), 1 species of Branchiobdellida, and 6 species of Aphanoneura (1 Potamodrilidae and 5 Aeolosomatidae). Although studies focusing on the aquatic oligochaete fauna of Turkey have increased over the past 15–20 years, species diversity still remains unclear.

<p>This annotated list provides references to New Zealand university theses written within the timeframe, 1977-1999, that relate to the topic of Maori and education. The purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive list of New Zealand university theses, within this period, that deal with any aspect of Maori and education in New Zealand. It is envisaged that this list of theses could be used as a reference tool for people interested in 'Maori education'. This topic has been the subject of a lot of postgraduate research in the past. There has been a marked change in emphasis in terms of the approach taken to research into Maori and education over the last few decades. This list of relevant theses attempts to document theses changes by providing annotated entries, which will describe the research undertaken, for theses written within this topic, 1977-1999.</p>

During the past twenty-five years, the writer has made spasmodic collections of Ichneumonoidea in various parts of Alberta, although, in the earlier years, prospects for getting them authoritatively determined were somewhat remote. In addition, smaller collections, chiefly one made by Dr. G. Salt and determined by Mr. R. A. Cushman in 1927, duplicate specimens taken by Dr. R. Salt in later surveys of insects associated with alfalfa, and specimens taken by a few university students, have been donated to the university collection.

Seasonal History

The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus monticolae Hopk.) has killed millions of trees during the past ten years in Montana, Idaho, and eastern Washington. It was during a serious epidemic of this beetle that the writer undertook a study of the economic importance and biology of its enemies in an effort to determine what insects were the most beneficial and to work out their seasonal history so that artificial control work could be instituted, if possible, at a time that would destroy fewer beneficial insects.

We present the second update to the Annotat- ed Checklist of the Birds of Paraguay, following a first update published in 2013. In this update, 13 species are documented for the first time, two are removed due to taxonomic changes, and two are upgraded from “Pending” to “Documented”. Six of the newly documented species are genuine firsts for the country, with no previous mentions. The new total of the birds of Paraguay is 720 spe- cies, with 711 “Documented” and nine “Pending”. Over the past 26 years species have been added to the Paraguayan list at a rate of 2.9 species per year.

A continuum survey of the galactic-centre region has been carried out at Parkes at 20 cm wavelength over the areal11= 355° to 5°,b11= -3° to +3° (Kerr and Sinclair 1966, 1967). This is a larger region than has been covered in such surveys in the past. The observations were done as declination scans.

Origin Of The Moon

During the last 10 years, the writer has presented evidence indicating that the Moon was captured by the Earth and that the large collisions with its surface occurred within a surprisingly short period of time. These observations have been a continuous preoccupation during the past years and some explanation that seemed physically possible and reasonably probable has been sought.
