Bat geographic distribution North of the Carpathians Recent bat fauna in the area North of the Carpathians (Poland) consist of 25 species (2 Rhinolophidae and 23 Vespertilionidae). 25 bat species recorded so far from Poland can be divided into three groups: 1. Species limited to the southern Poland, occurred in the Polish Segment of the Carpathians (Beskidy Mts.), the Sudety Mts., and the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland; 2. Species with North-eastern limit of the distribution in the West and Central Poland, for example Myotis myotis; 3. Species with unlimited distribution on Polish territory, occurred also in the North-eastern Poland.

The geographic distribution of Verruca stroemia and V. spengleri are reviewed. Verruca stroemia ranges from the White, Barents, Norwegian, and North Seas south to Portugal to the Algarve and to Gorringe Bank. All of the records of this species from the Mediterranean Sea are considered to be V. spengleri. Verruca spengleri occurs in the Azores and Madeira archipelagos, in southern Spain (Cádiz), throughout the Mediterranean Sea from Gibraltar to Lebanon, and in the Black Sea. But a distinct deep-water Verruca species seems to occur in the deep Mediterranean.

Hamont is a small town located on the north-eastern edge of the Belgian province of Limburg, on the national border with the Netherlands. It is situated about 30 km south of Eindhoven and 15 km west of Weert in the Netherlands. The town has about 13,500 inhabitants. According to Belemans, Kruijsen & Van Keymeulen (1998), the dialect of Hamont belongs to the West Limburg dialects (subclassification: Dommellands). Limburg dialects occupy a unique position among the Belgian and Dutch dialects in that their prosodic system has a lexical tone distinction, which is traditionally referred to as SLEEPTOON ‘dragging tone’ and STOOTTOON ‘push tone’. In line with recent conventions, stoottoon is referred to as Accent 1 and transcribed as superscript 1; sleeptoon is referred to as Accent 2 and is transcribed as superscript 2 (cf. Schmidt 1986).

Stratigraphic Interval

The Upper Cretaceous – Danian chalk may be considered to be the economically most important rock type in Denmark. Onshore it constitutes an important groundwater aquifer and it is also quarried for e.g. building materials and paper production. Offshore the chalk reservoirs contain more than 80% of the oil and gas produced in Denmark (Fig. 1). During the last few years efforts have therefore been made to map this important succession in the Danish and adjoining areas (Vejbæk et al. 2003). The stratigraphic interval mapped comprises the Chalk Group of Cenomanian to Danian ages and its stratigraphically equivalent units (Fig. 2). The north-eastern limit of the Chalk Group is determined by Neogene erosion. The limits of the map to the west and south were mainly determined by the amount of available data.

Opening Paragraph

Opening ParagraphThe Sotho of the North-Eastern Transvaal Lowveld occupy an area with fairly well-marked geographical boundaries. To the east, the Game Reserve, low-lying, unhealthy, very sparsely populated even in the old days, remains an effective barrier to contact with and further migrations from the Shangana-Tonga of Portuguese East Africa. South are the Olifants River and the towering Drakensberg range curving north-west then northwards to merge into the well-marked escarpment on the west dividing Lowveld from Highveld. On the north the Klein Letaba river roughly demarcates our area from the Venda and the Shangana-Tonga of the Knobnose Location. The Sotho-speaking Venda of Tswale and Moila, who fall well within this area, resemble in culture their Sotho-ized neighbours more than their own Venda kin to the north; but the Shangana- Tonga, who occupy most of the lower-lying eastern and north-eastern portion of the area and comprise at least one-third of its total population, are unassimilated strangers of different stock coming from the north-east and east. They have been entering since about 1840, usually in small bands, at first seeking the protection of and subjecting themselves to the Sotho owners of the land. On the arrival of the white man, some of their headmen were granted independent locations which have served as nuclei for the building up of more united tribal groups. (See accompanying map.)

NGC 7592 = VV 731 = MCG-01-59-017 is a system of close interacting galaxies. Two main galactic bodies are present in the CCD R-band image taken at the 1.8m, F/9 telescope of the Asiago Observatory and shown in Figure 1:• a north-western (NW) component (≡VV 731B), whose starlike nucleus (A) shows a Seyfert-type spectrum (Archipova et al., 1981). A is surrounded by a nearly spheroidal envelope, with an extension in the west at P.A. = 290° detected up to a distance from A of ≈ 9 arcsec, which corresponds to ≈ 2.5h-1kpc of projected linear distance (1 arcsec ≈ .35 h-1kpc at the redshift z = 0.0244; H0 = 100 h km s-1Mpc-1). This extension seems to bend in the northern direction and to join a bright wing, detected up to « 22 arcsec from A, which turns to east and resembles a spiral arm or a tidal tail.• The envelope around A is connected (over ~ 20 arcsec 7h-1kpc) to a second galactic body (SE) located in the south-east of it. Its nucleus (B), identified by Markarian and Lipovetskii (1976) as the nucleus of Mkn 928, is located at dAB ~ 11 arcsec(~ 4h-1kpc) from A at P.A. = 100°. The morphology of this component is highly peculiar. In the central region, B is linked to two fainter knots which extend up to d″ ~ 4 arcsec at P.A. — 90°. This structure gives to the region surrounding B an elongated and distorted shape. Moreover, a bar-like structure is detected on either sides of B. The north-eastern side of the bar (P.A. = 40°) joins a slightly distorted loop of condensations, which can be traced from P.A. = 335° (at a distance from B«6 arcsec % 2.1 h-1kpc) to P.A. = 100° and from P.A. = 200° to P.A. = 240°, but not in corrispondence of the contact region between the two galaxies. This structure seems to be drained and distorted in the direction of a third condensation C at dBC ≈ 11.7 arcsec (≈ 4.1 h-1kpc) from B at P.A. — 212°. A faint plume bent in a direction opposite to that expected for spiral arms of the SE galaxy appears to extend from the west side of C.

The Right

The ancient approach to the Lion Gate (Fig. 1) probably began at the north-west angle of the circuit wall, and thence gradually ascended to the gate itself. Thus all possible assailants would have to pass through the fire from the west side of the north-west angle, even before they reached the court-like area directly before the gate. Here they would be faced with a triple fire, from the gate, from the great rectangular bastion (1) which flanks the gate on the west, and from the wall immediately to the east of the gate. Exactly the same defensive plan is provided for the so-called Postern Gate in the northern circuit wall not far from the original north-eastern angle. Some have suggested that the terrace wall (2), which is called a kyklopische Stützmauer by Steffen, and juts below the north-west corner of the rectangular bastion, is part of the ancient roadway, which mounted here in zigzags, and then turned abruptly to the right to enter the gate.

Archaeological Excavations

In the course of archaeological investigations of the villa with peristyle in 2010 and 2011, a room of circular plan in the north-western segment of the villa and to the north of room w-24, was discovered. The room had annexes in the east and west and is analogous to the stibadium A discovered in the north-eastern section of the villa. Further investigations of the room called stibadium B revealed that the stibadium walls were decorated with a facing of marble slabs and the floor was covered with exceptionally well preserved high quality mosaic. Archaeological excavations in 2015 defined completely the system of floor and wall heating. The mosaic floors in stibadium B are conserved. The area to the west of the stibadium has also been explored and a channel with the remains of a lead water pipe was discovered there. The terrain to the north of the northern wall of the villa with peristyle was also levelled.
