Abstract A description is provided for Phacidiopycnis tl jberivora. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Solanum tuberosum, Alnus, Beta, Escallonia, Eucalyptus, Hoya, Humulus, Medicago, Olearia, Ribes, Syringa, Vaccinium and probably several other plants. DISEASE: Stem-end hard rot or progressive dry rot, or corky rot of potatoes (11, 671; Foster & Macleod, 1932). Symptoms are variable; on mature tubers lesions vary in size from pin heads to those involving the whole tuber. With the progress of infection lesions become sunken, circular with a well defined margin. When immature tubers become infected they become mummified (Foster & Macleod, 1932). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (India); Australasia and Oceania (Australia, New South Wales, New Zealand); Europe (UK); North America (Canada, Alberta, Vancouver, British Columbia; USA, Washington). TRANSMISSION: No specific studies reported. Probably by conidia discharged during alternating dry and wet conditions; penetration of tubers through wounds and abrasions.

During the 1990s the management of forests in British Columbia (Canada) and New South Wales (Australia) underwent many changes. For most of the decade the governments in both of these political jurisdictions were more socially and environmentally aware than their immediate predecessors. They were, however, far short of what many environmental and social activists desired. The New Democratic Party in British Columbia, led to government by Mike Harcourt, and the Australian Labor Party in New South Wales led by Bob Carr, may both be described as ‘centre-left/light-green’ in their political persuasions. This paper develops the regulation approach to explore the achievements, the potential and the limitations of these governments in the area of forest politics. It is argued that these governments implicitly adopted a progressive neopluralist approach to forest politics and attempted to manage environmental conflict by securing the agreement of many diverse interest groups. The experience of these two governments raises questions about the potential and limitations not just of the particular governments, but of a progressive neopluralist political strategy to achieve sustainable forest management.

Abstract A description is provided for Urocystis eranthidis, which parasitizes living leaves, and may also be found on the leaves after they have died. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (British Columbia)), Asia (China, Iran, Kazakhstan (Dzhambul)), Australasia (Australia (New South Wales)), Europe (Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)).

SummaryAn occurrence of the magnesian zeolite ferrierite at Unanderra, New South Wales, represents the first reported locality for this mineral in Australia. The ferrierite occurs in vesicles in latite and is associated with heulandite, laumontite, and calcite. Its crystal morphology is essentially similar to that of specimens from the type locality at Kamloops Lake in British Columbia. EPMA results are given for the Unanderra ferrierite and its chemistry relative to other known occurrences is discussed. Unanderra ferrierite contains appreciably more SrO2 than other ferrierites, but is significantly lower in K2O and Na2O.
