In this research I dealt with the phenomenon of displacement in the poetry of tramps in the pre-Islamic era, and I was able to identify this phenomenon and manifest it as a stylistic phenomenon that formed a general aspect not limited to language. Rather, it expanded to constitute a deviation of a social, cultural and intellectual system that was isolated from the parent system of the standard pre-Islamic society. The nature of the research necessitated its distribution to four sections. In the first section, it dealt with the meaning of displacement and its importance in stylistic studies. In the second topic, it dealt with the phenomenon of social displacement, while the third topic dealt with displacement at the level of building the poem. Then, Pappers stamped it with the results of the search. The key word: Displacement Tramps Poetry

The visual spectrum of the afterglow accompanying the reversion of active nitrogen to ordinary nitrogen was investigated by Prof. A. Fowler and myself, and it was shown that the remarkable green, yellow and red bands in the spectrum of this glow, originally observed by Lewis, were in reality a selection of the first positive bands of nitrogen. We were only able to make this identification when we had examined the detailed structure of the bands on a fairly large scale spectrogram. Owing to the change of relative intensities the general aspect of the spectrum is so totally different from that of the positive column of a vacuum discharge, that it fails to suggest any connection. This is an unusual instance in spectroscopic experience. It is not often that the identity of a spectrum is totally disguised by changes in relative intensity. In 1912 I made experiments in search of similar afterglows in other gases than nitrogen. The results were, for the most part, negative, but in the case of helium a curious observation was made. The gas was contained in a vessel as shown in fig. 1, a powerful jar discharge passing between the electrodes. The gas diffused out of the region of discharge into the bulbous annexe, where it displayed the afterglow, if any. On introducing helium containing, as it happened, a little nitrogen, an orange-coloured afterglow was observed, which when examined with a small spectroscope appeared to be the same as that given by nitrogen. The redder colour was explained by a shift of relative intensity of the bands towards the red end of the spectrum. No measurement of the position of the bands was made. On absorbing the nitrogen with cooled charcoal, the afterglow became still redder, and finally disappeared. Pure helium gave no afterglow.

Species currently considered belonging to the tribe Poreuomenini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 are here separated; only Poreuomena Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 and Cestromoecha Karsch, 1893 remain in the tribe Poreuomenini, while Zeuneria Karsch, 1889 and Gravenreuthia Karsch, 1892 are transferred to the new tribe Zeuneriini Karsch, 1890. Morgenia Karsch, 1890 and Mangomaloba Sjöstedt, 1902 are moved to the new tribe Morgeniini Karsch, 1890. The new genus and species Paraporeuomena signata is described from the Tri National Sangha (TNS) (Central African Republic) and tentatively considered belonging to the tribe Poreuomenini. Its general aspect is hardly similar to that of the genus Poreuomena Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878, but it differs remarkably in the shape of eyes, that are oval and elongate, in the presence of subocular grooves, of spines on genicular lobes of femora, and of ventral spines on fore and mid legs. Differently from Poreuomena the last tergite is not modified.

The specimen here figured is an internal cast of a right valve, occurring in the well-known, reddish, fossiliferous, Palæozoic quartzite of the Triassic pebble-bed at Budleigh-Salterton, in Devonshire; and it resembles some forms of Cypridina brevimentum, J. and K. (“ Monogr. Carbonif. Entom.” Pal. Soc. 1874, p. 15, pl. 5, figs. 15–19), in general aspect; and also in some respects Polycope simplex, J. and K. (op. cit. p. 54, pl. 2, fig. 12). It was detected by the late Mr. J. W. Salter (in 1865?) during his enthusiastic study of that interesting conglomerate.

Tracing psychosis in American Psycho back to both Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho and the novel Psycho (by Robert Bloch) on which it was based, the chapter shows how these fictions theorize psychosis as a general aspect of the human being’s relation to money. However, money’s psychotic effect also infects Psycho, American Psycho, and the criticism that they have received in the sense that they tend to forget about money as one of the sources of the various psychoses they describe. If Bonfire was already pretty weak on the finance, presenting itself as a big city novel and being received as a novel about race and racism in New York, American Psycho has even less finance in it. Thus, Psycho and American Psycho arguably realize the psychosis that money produces in their very cinematic and literary form. Taking its cue from the Italian literary critic and media scholar Antonio Scurati, the chapter argues that this amounts to a psychotic realism that writes money’s psychotic effect on human beings—something that is particularly important in today’s era of digitized finance.

It has often occurred to me during my Alpine wanderings that masses of earthy material containing boulders are too readily identified as moraines. That the latter exist, both here and in other mountain regions, no one would for a moment dispute, but deposits, sometimes very closely resembling till, may be produced in other ways. One is by a bergfall. The result of this in some cases, as at Goldau, Plurs, near San Vito (Ampezzo road), or the Col de Cheville, can be easily recognized; but when the fallen material consists largely of shale and friable rock, when there is a certain admixture of boulders from a distance (formerly perched blocks), its origin is not so readily determined. The enormous mass of débris on the north bank of the Rheinthal, between Chur and Ilanz—a mass which extends from Digg, through Flims, to rather beyond Laax, consisting of earthy stuff, probably mainly smashed shale or slate, and of boulders, apparently limestone—is regarded as bergfall by the Swiss geologists, and yet any section in it might readily be taken for moraine. Even more moraine-like in general aspect are the singular mounds of débris in the valley of the Rhone near Sierre.

In his admirable essay on the Devonian Fishes, in the Tenth Decade of the Geological Survey, Professor Huxley has clearly indicated and described the differences and the resemblances of the genera Holoptychius and Glyptolepis. In the interesting work of the Rev. Dr. Anderson on ‘Dura Den,’ in which its exquisitely-preserved fossils are described, no mention is made of Glyptolepis. In the November part of the ‘Journal of the Geological Society of London,’ Mr. Powrie lias called attention to the occurrence of Glyptolepis in slabs recently disinterred, for the St. Andrew's Museum, from Dura Den. Through the kindness of Dr. Anderson, a slab was presented to the Montrose Museum in 1859; and it is now apparent from it that Glyptolepis is not of rare occurrence at Dura Den, and that either this genus has been passed over altogether, or confounded with Holoptychius. The fishes in the Montrose Museum are smaller, and do not in all points correspond with those described by Mr. Powrie, but we think they emphatically demonstrate that the Holoptychius Flemingii must now be denominated Glyptolepis.On the slab in the Montrose Museum there is one fine specimen of Holoptychius and six specimens of Glyptolepis, not regarding fragmentary portions of fishes. At the first glance there is a resemblance in size, in general aspect, and outline, among the fishes. Their average length is about nine inches, and their breadth at the thickest part of the body nearly three inches.
