<em>Abstract.</em>—The Chilean fishes of the family Macrouridae have historically been of little interest to the fisheries community in the SE Pacific. Landings of these fishes have only been officially recorded since 2000. Nevertheless there is evidence that macrourids have been incidentally caught as by-catch since the middle of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Species of the genera <em>Coelorinchus </em>(formerly known as <em>Caelorinchus</em>), <em>Coryphaenoides</em>, <em>Lucigadus</em>, <em>Macrourus </em>and <em>Nezumia </em>are common as by-catch. It now appears important to apply fisheries management to these species, recording them as a unit, but obtaining objective data for each species. This should include an overall perspective on the species having a wide geographic distribution.

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.

Wide Geographic Distribution

David Frey raised the hypothesis of non-cosmopolitanism in Cladocera in a series of his publications (Frey 1982, 1987). Since then, researchers have taken the effort to revise species groups with wide geographic distribution around the world (e.g. Kotov & Dumont 2000; Sinev 2015; Van Damme & Dumont 2008a; Sinev & Elmoor-Loureiro 2009). The polyphyletic nature of the genus Alona Baird, 1843 (Van Damme et al. 2010) has further substantiated the view that cladocerans are non-cosmopolitan, with the creation of many new genera to accommodate the several species groups known within this genus (Van Damme & Dumont 2008b; Sinev & Kobayashi 2012; Van Damme & Dumont 2009; Alonso & Sinev 2019).

Two New Species

Two new species of the family Cixiidae, Indolipa fopingensis, sp. nov. and Indolipa huapingensis, sp. nov., from China, are described and illustrated. A checklist to all species of this genus in the world and an identification key to Chinese species are provided. Host plants and a map of their geographic distribution are also provided.

Sanguinicolids are blood flukes infecting marine and freshwater fishes in many parts of the world.  Smith (1997a, 1997b) furnished a list of sanguinicolids reported to that date, together with their hosts and geographic distribution.  Subsequently, many new genera and species of sanguinicolids were reported.  According to the recent review of Smith (2002), the family contains 19 genera.

<em>Abstract.</em>—Length–weight relationships of three macrourid fishes (saddled grenadier <em>Coelorinchus coelorhincus </em>(formerly known as <em>Caelorinchus caelorhincus</em>), glasshead grenadier <em>Hymenocephalus italicus </em>and bluntsnout grenadier <em>Nezumia sclerorhynchus</em>) from Sigacik Bay on the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea are presented. Overall, 923 specimens of three different species of the family Macrouridae were weighed and measured. The sample size ranged from 43 for bluntsnout grenadier to 782 for saddled grenadier. The values of the exponent <em>b </em>in the length–weight regressions (<EM>W</EM>=<em>aL</em><em><sup>b</sup></em>) varied between 2.51 (glasshead grenadier) and 3.49 (bluntsnout grenadier). Regressions of length–weight relationships were significant for all species. Positive allometry in weight vs. length for bluntsnout grenadier, isometry in saddled grenadier, and negative allometry for glasshead grenadier were observed.

The Face

‘Me!’ cried Fanny … ‘Indeed you must excuse me. I could not act any thing if you were to give me the world. No, indeed, I cannot act.’ At the age of ten, Fanny Price leaves the poverty of her Portsmouth home to be brought up among the family of her wealthy uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, in the chilly grandeur of Mansfield Park. There she accepts her lowly status, and gradually falls in love with her cousin Edmund. When the dazzling and sophisticated Henry and Mary Crawford arrive, Fanny watches as her cousins become embroiled in rivalry and sexual jealousy. As the company starts to rehearse a play by way of entertainment, Fanny struggles to retain her independence in the face of the Crawfords’ dangerous attractions; and when Henry turns his attentions to her, the drama really begins… This new edition does full justice to Austen’s complex and subtle story, placing it in its Regency context and elucidating the theatrical background that pervades the novel.

The horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a famous species, renowned as a ‘living fossil’ (Owen, 1873; Barthel, 1974; Kin and Błażejowski, 2014) for its apparently little-changed morphology for many millions of years. The genus Limulus Müller, 1785 was used by Leach (1819, p. 536) as the basis of a new family Limulidae and synonymized it with Polyphemus Lamarck, 1801 (Lamarck's proposed but later unaccepted replacement for Limulus, as discussed by Van der Hoeven, 1838, p. 8) and Xyphotheca Gronovius, 1764 (later changed to Xiphosura Gronovius, 1764, another junior synonym of Limulus). He also included the valid modern genus Tachypleus Leach, 1819 in the family. The primary authority of Leach (1819) is widely recognized in the neontological literature (e.g., Dunlop et al., 2012; Smith et al., 2017). It is also the authority recognized in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS Editorial Board, 2021).
