Dactylopius hymenocleœ, n. sp.—♀. Black when dry, entirely covered and concealed by the firm snow-white ovisac, forming a rounded mass about 4 mm. diam. These masses are adherent to one another, forming very conspicuous white cottony balls on the plant, having a diameter of from ten to twelve mm. The surface of the ovisac is rough, but not at all ribbed. The female, boiled and flattened under a cover-glass, is oval, about 4 mm. long. After being boiled in caustic soda, soaked in alcohol, and mounted in balsam, the insect is found to exhibit two different pigments: one a pale magenta, the other a dark bluish green. Skin with very numerous small circular glands, and a good many rather large dagger-shaped spines, in the caudal region. Legs and antennæ pale brown; legs fairly stout; coxa 99. Femur with trochanter 144, tibia 72, tarsus with claw 60 μ; claw digitules slender, with a very small knob; claw with a minute denticle on the inner side just before the tip; antennæ 7-segmented, the segments measuring as follows in μ:—(1) 28. (2) 25-30. (3) 23-25. (4) 23-31. (5) 15-19. (6) 24-28. (7) 59-64. Embryonic larva large.

AbstractThe type species of the genus Butlerius, viz., B. butleri Goodey, 1929, is redescribed and illustrated from specimens collected in South Korea. Additional information is provided for the cuticle, stoma structure, female reproductive system and the male caudal region. The Korean population is 1336-1857 μm long, a = 33.9-43.5, b = 5.41-6.34, c = 3.38-4.20, c′ = 14.13-19.0 and V = 40-45%. Males have spicules 39-49 μm long and a gubernaculum 25-33 μm long. There are nine pairs of genital papillae, three pairs precloacal and six pairs postcloacal. The v5,6,7 clusters are widely separated, one group situated just posterior to the phasmids and the other group at level of pd. Although there are some differences in morphometrics as compared with the type population, the species is easily identified by the similarities in the structure of the stoma, pharynx, spicules and gubernaculum. Butlerius singularis and B. filicaudatus are proposed as synonyms of the type species.

Caudal Regression

Features of both the Goldenhar and the caudal regression syndromes were found in the patient described. A search of the literature revealed two other patients having both conditions. However, a number of other individuals have been reported with Goldenhar or related syndromes who have malformations in the caudal region or, conversely, who have the caudal regression syndrome and possess cranial anomalies. Possible explanations for the commonality of malformations seen in these syndromes are presented and discussed. It is suggested that the term, "axial mesodermal dysplasia spectrum" be used in patients manifesting this overlap to emphasize the importance of searching for the other malformations seen in this spectrum of anomalies.

Two syntopic species of Cnemidophorus are described from the Caatingas of the Parque Nacional da Serra das Confusões (PNSC), located in the Southwestern region of the state of Piauí in Brazil. Both species are assigned to the ocellifer group, differing from all other members of the group by their distinct color pattern and lepidosis. Besides these differences, both new species share a number of particular features with other members of the group. One of them, C. venetacaudus, shares with C. abaetensis and C. littoralis the presence of spurs in the heels of males, six supraciliar scales, a high number of femoral pores (from 21–45), a row of enlarged scales in the dorsal region of the arm, 8–10 rows of ventral scales, and a bright bluish-green tail, while the other species, C. confusionibus, shares with C. ocellifer, C. mumbuca, and C. jalapensis a low number of femoral pores, enlarged scales in the temporal region (posterior to third subocular), 5 supraciliar scales, and 6–8 rows of ventral scales. Based on these comparisons, we suggest that the ocellifer group is more complex than previously admitted, being composed by at least two morphologically recognizable species subgroups.

Abstract The accuracy of all types of Vaisala radiosondes and two types of Snow White chilled-mirror hygrosondes was assessed in an intensive in situ comparison with reference hygrometers. Fourteen nighttime reference comparisons were performed to determine a working reference for the radiosonde comparisons. These showed that the night version of the Snow White agreed best with the references [i.e., the NOAA frost-point hygrometer (FPH) and University of Colorado cryogenic frost-point hygrometer (CFH)], but that the daytime version had severe problems with contamination in the humid upper troposphere. Since the RS92 performance was superior to the other radiosondes and to the day version of the Snow White, it was selected to be the working reference. According to the reference comparison, the RS92 has no bias in the mid- and lower troposphere, with deviations <±5% in relative humidity (RH). In the upper troposphere, the RS92 has a ∼5% RH wet bias, which is partly due to the RS92 time lag error and the termination of the heating cycle. It was shown that the time lag effects relating to Vaisala radiosondes can be corrected. Because these were nighttime comparisons, they can be considered to be free from solar radiation effects. Neither the radiosondes nor the Snow White succeeded in reproducing reference class hygrometer profiles in the stratosphere. According to the 29 radiosonde intercomparisons, the RS92 and the modified RS90 (FN) had the best mutual agreement and no bias. The disagreement is largest (<±10% RH) at low temperatures (T ≪ −30°C), where the FN underestimated (overestimated) in high (low) ambient RH. In comparison with the RS92, the RS90 had a semilinearly increasing wet bias with decreasing temperature, where the bias was ∼10% RH at −60°C. The RS80-A suffers from a large temperature-dependent dry bias in high RH conditions, being over 30% RH at −60°C and ∼5% RH near 0°C. The RS80-A dry bias can be almost totally removed with the correction algorithm by Leiterer et al., which was chosen as the best available. The other approach tested tends to overcorrect in high RH conditions when T < −50°C. For T > −30°C it is ineffective and does not correct the RS80-A dry bias in high ambient RH.

Abstract That two distinct kinds of substances—the d'Hérelle substances and the genes—should both possess this most remarkable property of heritable variation or “mutability,” each working by a totally different mechanism, is quite conceivable, considering the complexity of protoplasm, yet it would seem a curious coincidence indeed. It would open up the possibility of two totally different kinds of life, working by different mechanisms. On the other hand, if these d'Hérelle bodies were really genes, fundamentally like our chromosome genes, they would give us an utterly new angle from which to attack the gene problem. They are filterable, to some extent isolable, can be handled in test-tubes, and their properties, as shown by their effects on the bacteria, can then be studied after treatment. It would be very rash to call these bodies genes, and yet at present we must confess that there is no distinction known between the genes and them. Hence we cannot categorically deny that perhaps we may be able to grind genes in a mortar and cook them in a beaker after all. Must we geneticists become bacteriologists, physiological chemists, and physicists, simultaneously with being zoologists and botanists? Let us hope so. H. J. Muller (1922, pp. 48–49)

AbstractSpecimens ofKerygmachela kierkegaardiBudd are described, from the Lower Cambrian Sirius Passet fauna of N Greenland. The cephalic region is characterised by a pair of stout unsegmented appendages each bearing long spinose processes, and an anterior mouth. The trunk shows alternating rows of tubercles and transverse annulations along the axis, to which are attached 11 pairs of gill-bearing lateral lobes and lobopodous limbs. The caudal region is small, and bears two long tail spines. There is some evidence for circular musculature arranged around the trunk and a dorsal, longitudinal sinus, and several details of the muscular pharynx have been preserved.The combination of characters found inKerygmachelaallows it to be allied with the lobopods, represented in the extant fauna by the onychophorans, tardigrades, and possibly the pentastomids, and in the Cambrian fossil record by a morphologically diverse set of taxa, some of which are not assignable to the extant groupings. It also shares important characters with the previously problematic Burgess Shale formsOpabinia regalisWalcott andAnomalocarisWhiteaves, and the Sirius Passet form Pambdelurion Budd. These taxa together form a paraphyletic group at the base of the clade of biramous arthropods. The position of the so-called ‘Uniramia’ remains unclear. It can be demonstrated from the reconstruction of the arthropod stem-group that full arthropod segmentation has a different derivation from that of the annelids. In line with other recent analyses, this suggests that the ‘Articulata’ of Cuvier should be dismantled, and the arthropods considered to be a group of protostomes which are phylogenetically distinct from the classic spiralians. Arthropod affinities may rather lie with the other moulting animals, in the so-called ‘Ecdysozoa’.

Abstract It might at first be assumed that antioxygenic compounds originally present in scrap rubber used in the manufacture of the reclaimed rubber would be sufficient to explain the extraordinary resistance of the reclaimed rubber to the action of proöxygenic compounds. It is, however, highly improbable that these antioxygenic compounds survive caustic soda treatment at 190° C. On the other hand, a crude-rubber mixture, even when protected by an antioxygenic compound, never shows such great resistance to proöxygenic compounds as that shown by the reclaimed-rubber vulcanizates described in the present work. It seems probable, therefore, that this insensitivity of reclaimed rubber to proöxygenic compounds, both during plasticization and during aging after vulcanization, is in some way connected with the actual chemical structure of the reclaimed rubber itself.

Dongeng karya Grimm bersaudara telah banyak diadaptasi ke dalam media film, salah satunya adalah “Snow White”. Penelitian ini membahas distorsi yang muncul dalam dua film adaptasi “Snow White”, yaitu “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) produksi Disney dan “Snow White and the Huntsman” (2012) produksi Universal Pictures. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif berupa analisis deskriptif, ditemukan bahwa setiap adaptasi tersebut melakukan perombakan besar terhadap isi cerita yang menyebabkan perbedaan dengan sumber aslinya, yakni karya Grimm bersaudara. Film “Snow White” yang diproduksi  oleh Disney mengalami proses adaptasi cerita, yakni dengan mengubah cerita yang pantas dan mudah diterima anak-anak. Adapun film produksi Universal Pictures menghasilkan suatu karya adaptasi yang berbeda, yaitu dengan adanya pengurangan atau penambahan dari cerita aslinya. Perubahan cerita tersebut ditujukan untuk menarik minat penonton. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salah satu alasan perubahan yang dilakukan pada dua film adapatasi tersebut disebabkan oleh target penonton yang berbeda.Abstract:Grimm Brothers’ tales have been adapted into films. One of them is the story of Snow White. This study is to examine the distortion appearing in two Snow White film adaptations, namely: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) by Disney as well as  “Snow White and the Hunts- man” (2012) by Universal Pictures. By applying qualitative method, it is found that each film adaptation makes a lot of changes in its plot from its original version in the Grimm Brothers’. “Snow White” produced by Disney was changed into children story that was simpler and easier to understand. The one produced by Universal Picture, on the other hand, was made into different story by reducing  or adding its original story. The change of the story is aimed at gaining more viewers. The result of the research reveals that one of changes in the two film adaptations is due to their different viewers target.
