In the summer of 1937, a new paleo-Indian site was discovered at the south end of Odell Lake in Oregon. Odell Lake (PI. VI), lies in a glacial trough just east of the divide in the Cascade Mountains, in T 23 S, R 6½ E, Willamette Meridian. The elevation of the lake is 4,792 feet (Deschutes National Forest Map, Willamette Meridian, 1947).In the summer of 1946, the proprietors, Wilson J. Wade and Charles A. Porter, were excavating for the foundations and basement of a lodge on the south side of the outlet of Odell Lake on a bench or terrace at the east end, about 25 feet above the lake. Richard P. Bottcher, Engineer of the U. S. Forest Service, Deschutes National Forest, was present. The excavation went through a bed of pumice and into the glacial moraine on which it rests. Bottcher picked up points which he thought came from under the pumice. He showed these to Mr. Phil Brogan of Bend, Oregon, Managing Editor of the Bend Bulletin, who was aware of the previous finds under Crater Lake pumice. Brogan shortly afterward called my attention to the site.

1. The irregular oval line, delineated on the annexed map (Plate XIV.) shows nearly the inner edge of a limestone bason, in which all the strata of coal and iron ore (commonly called Iron Stone) in South Wales are deposited; the length of this bason is upwards of 100 miles, and the average breadth in the counties of Monmouth, Glamorgan, Carmarthen, and part of Brecon, is from 18 to 20 miles, and in Pembrokeshire only from 3 to 5 miles. 2. On the north side of a line, that may be drawn in an east and west direction, ranging nearly through the middle of this bason, all the strata rise gradually northward; and on the south side of this line they rise southward, till they come to the surface, except at the east end, which is in the vicinity of Pontipool, where they rise eastward.

The British stage of the1850s produced a flurry of dramas influenced by Henry Mayhew’s work on urban poverty, many of which were written for the “minor” theatres of London’s East End and the south side of the Thames. Often dismissed as literary “hacks,” the writers for these theatres and their works have been largely undervalued and understudied. This article shines a spotlight on one such writer, John Beer Johnstone, whose How We Live in the World of London; Or, London Labour and the London Poor premiered at the Surrey Theatre on 24 March 1856. Taking a positive view of literary “piracy,” I argue that Johnstone’s play cleverly re-imagines Mayhew’s social journalism and subverts prevalent stereotypes of the urban poor for the Surrey’s mixed audiences.


The basin, which is here described by Mr. Martin, is delineated in a map annexed to the paper; it is formed of limestone, and contains all the strata of coal and iron ore in South Wales: it is up­wards of 100 miles in length; and its average breadth in the coun­ties of Monmouth, Glamorgan, Carmarthen, and part of Brecon, is from 18 to 20 miles; but in Pembrokeshire its breadth is only from 3 to 5 miles. On the northern half of the basin the strata rise gradually north­ward; on the south side they rise southward, except at the east end, where they rise eastward. The deepest part of the basin is between Neath, in Glamorganshire, and Llanelly in Carmarthenshire, where the depth of the principal strata of coal and iron ore is from 600 to 700 fathoms; whereas in Pembrokeshire, none of the strata lie above 80 or 100 fathoms deep.

The roof of the nave of Tewkesbury Abbey belongs to the first half of the fourteenth century; the bosses are carved in stone. Those down the central rib represent scenes from the life of Christ; those on the sides are angels, some with censers, some with musical instruments, and some, at the east end, with instrumentsof the Passion; there are also the four evangelistic symbols. For purposes of reference I have numbered the central line of bosses from the west end C 1, C 2, etc.; those at the side are numbered from the east end, on the north side N 1, N 2, etc., and similarly on the south side. I have numbered them thus as the central bosses obviously begin with the Nativity at the west end, while the side series have the most important figures at the east end.

The Lanhill Barrow stands on the south side of the Chippenham–Marshfield road about 2½ miles west-north-west of the former place. It stands on level ground with a gentle slope to the south down to a small spring a few yards away on that side. The water runs east and at the bottom a dam has been carried across the field thus at one time forming a small lake, this is probably later in date than the barrow itself. The direction of the barrow is slightly south of east and north of west with the larger end to the former point. It is about 185 ft. long by 90 ft. wide at the east end, gradually tapering to a point at the west.

AbstractThis paper attempts to give new explanation for the expression agrïp yok bol- occurring in 9th line of the south side of the Bilgä Kagan Inscription. After a thorough survey of former research and several Chinese sources, the authors came to the conclusion that this expression must be a euphemistic expression for being beheaded in a battle. The authors found also that kog säŋün was Guo Yingjie 郭英傑. In sum, the sentence in question is to be read as ulug oglum agrïp yok bolča kog säŋünüg balbal tikä bertim ‘When my oldest son died of a disease, I readily erected General Kog as a balbal (for him).’ The expression agrïp yok bol- is to be regarded as a euphemistic expression for being beheaded in a battle.

At the level of the federal government, since 1990 there have been at least 16 important processes relevant to forest policy. These processes mainly ran in parallel, but were in part contradictory,sometimes they were complementary and synergies were also achieved. The processes are divided into three main categories (processes triggered by nature, by the surroundings and self-initiated processes). They are briefly described and evaluated from a personal, forest policy point of view. Seven points for thought are used to show what needs to be taken into account in future national forest policy. Finally the Swiss forest service organisation is compared with another federal structure of an NGO, namely the organisational structure of Pro Senectute, the author's new area of work.
