Palaeocene limestone of the Ninniyur Formation of the Cauvery Basin contains abundant well-preserved calcareous algae. These various types of calcareous algal seem to be controlled by the characteristics of each type environments in which they developed and thus they provide useful palaeo-ecological information of the Ninniyur Formation. The distribution patterns of these groups of calcareous algae, extending from tidal flat to reefal environments have been observed in the Palaeocene of the Ninniyur Formation, Cauvery Basin South India. Key words: Ninniyur formation, Calcareous algae, Palaeoecology. Ecoprint Vol.11(1) 2004.

The sediments of the Ninniyur formation (Paleocene) are characterized by exceptionally rich of calcareous algae. The present paper deals morphotaxonomical, palaeoecological and palaeogeographical aspects of the Polystrata alba (red algae). Polystrata alba (Pfender) Denizot is belonging to the family Peyssonneliaceae of the class Rhodophyceae. It is extent taxa, wide geographic distribution and known from early Cretaceous-Recent of the different part of the world.

AbstractThe Silvery-brown Tamarin, Saguinus leucopus, is a primate species from the Callitrichidae family, endemic to Colombia, and that has very little ecological information. Here we report on a new dietary component for the species from Departamento de Caldas, Colombia, been the first record of S. leucopus predating an amphibian species (Phyllomedusa venusta). Despite some records exist about tamarin predation on amphibians, this is the first for this endemic species, and it is probably related with its foraging type. This record represents a noteworthy record and contributes to the knowledge of the natural history of this species. Key words: Andes, Callitrichidae, Colombia, Diet, Primates, Predation.Palabras clave: Andes, Callitrichidae, Colombia, Depredación, Dieta, Primates

Sedimentary structures in the Kallankurichchi Formation of the Ariyalur Group, South India have been examined with a view of assessing the depositional setting of these rocks. Of the different sedimentary structures such as cross bedding, cut and fill, etc., hummocky cross stratification is significant as it resulted from a major storm event. This paper deals with the recognized sedimentary structures, their genesis and environmental implications.

The distribution pattern and habitat preference of barking deer (Muntiacus muntjac Zimmermann) were analyzed during spring and rainy seasons of 2005 in Nagarjun Forest, Kathmandu. A total of 14 observations (seven males and seven females), 247 pellets and 118 footprints of barking deer were recorded in the spring and 14 observations (nine males and five females), 151 pellets and 140 footprints were recorded during the rainy season. The result showed uneven or clumped distribution patterns for deer in both spring (S2√X = 331.03 > 1; Χ² = 331.02, p = 0.01) and rainy season (S2√X = 233.48 > 1; Χ² = 233.48, p = 0.01). Among four types of habitats (Schima wallichii forest, mixed broadleaved forest, pine forest and dry oak forest), the mixed broadleaved forest was much preferred in spring (RPI = 0.81) and pine forest during the rainy season (RPI = 0.15).

Soil surface distribution patterns of herbicide granules from a Gandy dribble type applicator were determined under different wind velocities in the laboratory and verified in the field. Results indicted that a combined operation of application and incorporation during seeding with a discer would not provide satisfactory placement of granules assuming wind velocities that occur normally in Saskatchewan during the seeding period. Key words: Wind, discer, herbicide granules, incorporation
