The purpose of the research: to educe regional specificity of epizootology (epidemiology) of helminthozoonoses (taeniarinhosis - cysticercosis, echinococcosis, trichinellosis) in Kyzylorda region Republic of Kazakstan. Materials and methods. In 2010-2016 according to postmortem examination methods cattle is investigated on cysticercosis and echinococcosis, sheep camels and horses on echinococcosis, pigs on taeniasis saginata at the premises of Kyzylorda meat cutting plant and at Kyzylorda markets. Physiological state of cysticercuses and caseworm larvocyst have been studied depending on the animal age. Invasion extensiveness (IE) of dogs were studied by the method of control worming by hydrobromide arecoline. As well as veterinarian and medical audit in region for the last 10 years was analyzed. Results and discussion. It has been established that cysticercosis bovine is widespread endemic and irregular. Invasion extensiveness (IE) of cattle was higher on the south-east of region (3.3%), and on the west this measure greatly declined (2.4%). This zoonosis extensiveness is greatly progressed during last 7 years (from 1.7% in 2010 till 3.3% in 2016). In general, at the south-west part of Kazakstan cattle is infected by Cysticercus bovis on 2.6-2.9% while the invasion strength (IS) is average 2-4 cysticercuses onto one corpse. During 2010-2016 it was educed two persons who are ill on taeniasis saginata. Sheep, cattle and camels were average taken by caseworms on 21.1%, 8.1%, and 42.7% respectively. IE parameters depended on the age and were high at the adult animals: Lambs are wormy on 2.5%, sheep older then 5 years on 29.5%, young camels at the age under 2 years are wormy on 27.9%, and animals older then 7 years on 50.0%, calves under 2 years are wormy on 2.4%, and cattle older then 5 years on 10.7%. IS of all kinds of animals correlated outright to EI and also depended on the animal age. In the process of internal veterinarian sanitary examination of 1680 killing horses of different age caseworm larvocyst were not founded. According to the data from health statistics, 463 patients (including 47.7% of men and 52.6% of women) have been operated concerning caseworm in the clinics in Kyzylorda region during 12 years (2005-2016 years). In 2010-2016 it was tested 688 samples of muscles of imported pork for trichinellosis by compressor method. All samples were negative. Over the last 10 years caseworm of animal and human was not registered in the region except one outburst in 2016 (February-March), during which 20 accidents of human caseworm had been educed in the region. The source of invasion was wild boars meat.

1. The coral-rock commences nearly everywhere with a basal bed of varying thickness containing a fauna of pre-Pleistocene aspect among which the genus Haliotis (absent from these coasts at the present day), Pleurotomaria, Meiocardia, etc., are noticeable. This faunule may have lived at a depth of 700–1,000 feet.2. The supposition that the southerly anticlines are a later uplift than the main portion of Barbados is supported by the absence of ravines, and the presence of post-coral-rock beds which occur as coastal veneers at low altitudes, and in greater thickness in the south-east corner near Whitehaven.3. The south-east part of the island from Consett Point to Ragged Point has probably extended further seawards in comparatively recent times ; the series of converging faults and dislocations in the cliff sections suggest that the thrusts from the west or south-west may have been resisted by this part of the island.4. The relative claims of fault-scarping or marine erosion in production of the rising terraces is discussed ; and new information regarding the thickness of the coral-rock at sea-level from a boring is detailed.5. The finding of a faunule with Pliocene or possibly Miocene affinities at the base of the coral-rock puts the Oceanic series further back, into the Miocene.

In view of the importance of a pure milk supply, we considered that it might be of interest to examine chemically, microscopically, and bacteriologically, a number of specimens of milk coming into the Metropolis for which purpose we decided to select samples from the various counties, the milk of which is consigned to London. We found that milk so consigned comes from about twenty-six counties extending from Derby in the North, to Hampshire and Devonshire in the South and South-West, and from Hereford in the West, to Norfolk in the East.

The Somerset Levels are the largest area of low-lying ground in south-west England, covering an extensive region between the highlands of Exmoor, the Brendon Hills and the Quantock Hills to the west, and the Cotswold and Mendip Hills to the east (Pl. XXIII, inset). The Quantock Hills and the Mendip Hills directly border the Levels themselves, and reach heights of over 250 metres above sea level. The valley between extends to 27 metres below sea level, but is filled to approximately the height of the present sea by a blue-grey clay. The Levels are bisected by the limestone hills of the Poldens, and both parts have other smaller areas of limestone and sand projecting above the peat deposits that cap the blue-grey clay filling. In this paper we are concerned with the northern part of the Levels, an area at present drained by the River Brue.The flat, peat-covered floor of the Brue Valley is some six kilometres wide and is flanked on the north by the Wedmore Ridge, and on the south by the Polden Hills (Pl. XXIII). In the centre of the valley, surrounded by the peat, is a group of islands of higher ground, Meare, Westhay, and Burtle. These islands, which would always have provided relatively dry ground in the Levels, are linked together by Neolithic trackways of the third millennium B.C. Several of these trackways formed the basis of a paper in these Proceedings in 1968 (Coles and Hibbert, 1968), which continued the work of Godwin and others (Godwin, 1960; Dewar and Godwin, 1963).

This document is one of a number of Attic proxeny-decrees that A. G. Woodhead considered to be evidence for Athenian concern with the south-west Aegean towards the end of the fifth century B.C. He identified the honorand Proxenos as a native of Chalke, a small island off the west coast of Rhodes. I share the view of J. and L. Robert that Woodhead has not proved his case either for the date or for the ethnic.The inscription is non-stoichedon, its engraving inexpert and careless, with several mistakes untidily erased and corrected. There is a mixture of Attic and Ionic letter-forms in the first three lines (gamma, eta, and lambda are Ionic, while xi is written chi sigma); otherwise the lettering is Attic, indicating a date before 403 B.C.

The noisy scrub-bird Atrichornis clamosus at Two Peoples Bay was censused, the number of singing males being used as the population index. Incomplete data from 1962 to 1968 suggest that the number of males varied from 40 to 50 during this period. The first rigorous census found 45 males in 1970 and this number increased to 138 in 1983. The most likely reason for this increase is the absence of fire from the area since 1970. Since 1975 the population has expanded out of its headland stronghold to the south-west of Two Peoples Bay to form a subpopulation around Lake Gardner that is well separated from the headland population by roads, firebreaks and a strip of control burnt blocks. The growth of this subpopulation has added a further safeguard to the population. Observations on the vegetation formations (heath, thicket, low forest A and low forest B) used by male noisy scrub-birds on the headland indicate that most of the best habitat (low forest B) is occupied and that an increasing number of males are occupying suboptimal habitat (heath and thicket). There is sufficiently good habitat to the west of Lake Gardner to allow at least 30 additional males to live in the area.

The Forest of Dean (henceforth Forest) is one of the lesser known English Royal Forests. The area is considered locally to be a special place with a distinctive dialect. The Forest lies at the intersection of three regions: South East Wales, West Country, also known as the South West, and the West Midlands. The Forest is situated between two rivers: the River Severn to the East separates it from the rest of Gloucestershire; the River Wye to the West separates it from Wales. National borders and physical boundaries seem to play an important role in identity construction. ‘Identities matter most’ (Llamas & Watt, 2010: 17) to those communities ‘at the physical margins of the nation state’ (Llamas, 2010: 225). Such communities may engage in practices that differentiate their dialect and situate it at the centre of their own region.

<p><span lang="EN-US">Ophiolite complex in the west of Fanuj is 200 Km south west of Iranshahr in Sistan and Baluchestan province. This ophiolite complex lies in the uplift zone of the oceanic crust of Oman between Makran and Fanuj faults. Ophiolite of the west part of Fanuj is consisted of three parts including gabbro, diabase dikes and small quantity microdiorite masses. Ilmenite is the main mineral of titanium which along with magnetite has been formed independently or inter-crystalline way after crystallization of plagioclase, pyroxene and often along with amphibole in gabbro rocks. The formation of the broad gabbro masses which is associated with plagioclase and pyroxene crystallization in High Oxygen fugacity condition formed a fluid rich in iron and titanium during the formation of ferro gabbro rocks as the main host of the ilminite reserves.

About 10 metres south-west of the sixth-century temple of Hera Akraia at Perachora, and nearly due west of the little harbour lies the small courtyard previously known as the ‘Agora’. Since its purpose is not known, it will here be non-committally referred to as the West Court. It was first excavated in 1932, and more fully, under the supervision of J. K. Brock, in 1933, but it was not entirely cleared until 1939, and it was at that time that the Roman house which stood in the middle of the court was demolished. The West Court is discussed briefly (under the name of ‘Agora’) in Perachora 1 and in the preliminary reports of the Perachora excavations. Short supplementary excavations were carried out in 1964 and 1966 to examine certain points of the structure.In shape the West Court is an irregular pentagon, about 24 metres from north to south and the same from east to west (Fig. 1; Plate 91 a, b). It is enclosed on the west, north, and on part, at least, of the east side by a wall of orthostates on an ashlar foundation. For a short distance on either side of the south corner, the court is bounded by a vertically dressed rock face which is extended to the north-east and west by walls of polygonal masonry. At the south-west corner the west orthostate wall butts against the polygonal wall, which continues for about 0·80 m. beyond it and then returns north for about 8 metres behind it.
