First Time

ABSTRACT: In spite of his many other interests, Edward Heron-Allen also worked for nearly 50 years as a scientist on minute shelled protists, called foraminifera, much of it in an unpaid, unofficial capacity at The Natural History Museum, London, and notably in collaboration with Arthur Earland. During this career he published more than 70 papers and obtained several fellowships, culminating in 1919 in his election to the Royal Society. Subsequently, he bequeathed his foraminiferal collections and fine library to the Museum, and both are housed today in a room named in his honour. In this paper, for the first time, an assessment of his scientific accomplishments is given, together with a full annotated bibliography of his publications held in the Heron-Allen Library. This is part of a project to produce a bibliography of his complete publications, recently initiated by the Heron-Allen Society.

Atlantic Island

Robert Brown is best known for his Australian botanical work of 1801-1805 and for his activity as an early taxonomist and microscopist. However, he made botanical collections and observations on the Atlantic island of Madeira in August 1801 while on his way to Australia on Investigator. As the bicentenary of the voyage is now being celebrated this aspect of Brown's botanical career, and its aftermath, is examined. Some of his Madeiran collection –rass specimens – survive today in the Herbarium of the Natural History Museum, London (BM).

North And South

Some 2,000 Ptiliidae collected in the North and South Islands of New Zealand in 1983/1984 by Peter Hammond of the Natural History Museum, London, are determined to 34 species, four of which are new to the country. As there are very few previous records, most from the Auckland district of North Island, the Hammond collection provides much new distributional data. The three new species: Nellosana insperatus sp. n., Notoptenidium flavum sp. n., and Notoptenidium johnsoni sp. n., are described and figured; the genus Ptiliodes is moved from Acrotrichinae to Ptiliinae, and Ptenidium formicetorum Kraatz recorded as a new introduction. Information is provided to aid separation of the new species from those previously recorded.

Post Monsoon

A study was carried out at 10 villages of Chitwan District of Nepal during August-September, 1997 to March- April, 1998. A total of 12 species among 1197 samples were collected. Culex quinquefasciatus, Cx. fuscocephala, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. gelidus, Cx. thelieri were previously reported, vector of different mosquito born diseases were recorded. Cx. quinquefasciatus was the most abundant both in post monsoon (26.90%) and pre monsoon (18.7%). Highest resting density (Human) of 9.33 was recorded in Post Monsoon at 25.75º C in Champanagar. Indoor resting density (Cattle) was highest in Suryapur at 22º C in Post Monsoon. The highest outdoor density (0.22) was at 22.5º C in Kholesimal in Pre Monsoon. Resting habit of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus & Cx. mimulus was infinitive in Post Monsoon.  Key Words:  Culex; JE Filariasis;  Abundant;  Resting habit; Chitwan. Journal of Natural History Museum Vol. 24, 2009,Page: 103-113
