AbstractThree miniature cotton shirts, found among the textiles of the Uhle collection from beneath the Temple of Pachacamac, in the University Museum, Philadelphia, show an unusual style of tubular construction in which the warp yarns run horizontally and the neck and arm apertures are located along the upper edge of the shirt. Apparently falling in Uhle's early classification of “Epigone Style” these miniatures show the same general garment form as that of a large shirt reported from the La Capilla cemetery of Hacienda Marques, and in addition, display pleats and a yoke-like use of warp-wise bands seen in a few garments of a related style reported from Piedras Gordas and Huacho, the latter presumably of later date than the former. Although the miniatures are sufficiently sturdy to have served as doll clothing, their purpose is unknown.

The first season of excavations at Tell al Rimah was undertaken from March 1st to May 13th, 1964, by a joint expedition of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq and the University Museum, Philadelphia. My thanks are due to my colleagues on the staff for hard work in the difficult circumstances of makeshift accommodation and a new site. Mrs. T. H. Carter of the University Museum was Assistant Director and took charge of Area C of the excavations. Miss Barbara Parker was epigraphist and photographer, assisted in the latter task by Mr. Nicholas Kindersley, who also undertook a part of the surveying. Mr. Julian Reade supervised the excavation of Area A, the temple, and Mr. David Crownover of the University Museum joined us in the second half of the season to give valuable assistance with the supervision of the dig and the cleaning and recording of finds. Many visitors gave us generous help; Mr. David French in the survey of other sites in the area, Mr. Jeffrey Orchard with the catalogue of finds, Professor Jørgen Laessøe with the epigraphy, and Miss Ann Searight and Miss Nan Shaw with the cleaning and conservation of finds. Sayyid Tariq al Na‘imi was the representative of the Directorate-General of Antiquities, and his energy and local knowledge were invaluable to us. We owe a great debt to the officials of the Government of Iraq for their hospitable assistance, to H. E. the Mutasarrif of Mosul Liwa and to Sayyid Ahmed al Mufti, Qaimaqam of Tell Afar. In Mosul Sayyid Selim al Jelili, Inspector of Antiquities for Mosul Liwa, was always ready to help with our problems. And, as always, the success of our work was largely due to the aid and advice, both practical and scholarly, of Dr. Faisal al Wailly, Director-General of Antiquities, and Sayyid Fuad Safar, Inspector-General of Excavations, and their staff.

With the co-operation of the Trustees of the University Museum of Basel and Professor Rütimeyer, the author has examined the fossil described by Dr. Robert Wiedersheim in 1878 as Labyrinthodon don Rütimeyeri . The bones are differently interpreted:— The reputed humerus is the interclavicle. The reputed scapula is the humerus. The reputed supra-scapula is the left coracoid. The reputed supra-scapula is the right scapula. The reputed right and left coracoids are the pre-coracoid and coracoid of the right side. The reputed clavicles are the ribs.

Classification Of Meteorites

The first broad grouping of meteorites was into irons and stones according as they consisted mainly of nickeliferous iron or of silicates. These were the two main divisions of the first really serviceable classification as applied by Gustav Rose in 1862-4 to the collection of meteorites in the, University Museum of Berlin. In this classification the division of meteoric irons included as separate groups the pallasites and the mesosiderites, in which nickel-iron "rod silicates are present in about equal amounts; and the meteo~fic stones were for the first time split up into chondrites, or stones containing those curious rounded grains (chondrules) peculiar to meteorites, and non-Chondritic stones, which were divided according to mineralogical composition into the groups of eucrites, howardites, &c., still largely recognized.

Growth Intercept

Although several easily-determined, single-factor approaches to estimation of site quality are available for use in juvenile stands of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia), not one of them is wholly suitable. Conventional height-age relationships in use are based on scanty data for very young stands, are most representative of fully stocked stands, and depend considerably upon the yield table used as a reference.Recently the growth-intercept method (Wakeley, 1954) has been developed independently for Douglas fir by Wiley (1951) and tested fairly generally by Warrack and Fraser (1955). The growth-intercept method employs the lengths of the first few internodes above breast height as indicators of site quality. This method has the advantages of direct measurement and early classification but indicates current or juvenile site qualities rather than total site capabilities over a long period of time. The utility of another measure of site quality, number of years to reach breast height, is demonstrated by data secured in this study. Schmidt (1954) illustrated possible uses of stump diameters to indicate site quality; unfortunately only past site quality is estimated and direct examination of stumps is necessary. Topographic positions (ridge, upper slope, lower slope, and valley) are, in themselves, often indicative of site quality. Species and abundance of lesser vegetation will also provide indications of the site quality of Douglas fir, but these interrelationships are often complicated and require interpretation by experts. This report illustrates certain problems and possible uses of most of the above-mentioned methods. In addition problems of age-class distribution and succession are discussed. Data used were collected in Douglas fir types on the University Research Forest at Haney and on Vancouver Island.
