The article presents the results of studies on segetal communities in Bolimów Primeval Forest carried out in the years 1981-1985. The analysis of 205 phytosociological records has allowed to distinguish 7 associations and 2 communities (Tables I-XIV). Among the most common communities on this area are: <i>Teesdaleo-Arnoseridetum minimae</i> and <i>Digitarietum ischaemi</i>. On the other hand, very rare communities include: <i>Spergulo-Veronicetum dillenii, Papaveretum argemones</i>, a community from <i>Saxifraga tridactylites</i> and a community from <i>Ranunculus arvensis</i>. The distinguished communities reflect the present state of the ecological productive potential, they represent specific types of the habitats of potential natural vegetation, and show a distinct relationship with definite habitat units - soil-agricultural complexes.

Since the remarkable paper by Professor Lapworth “On an Improved Classification of the Rhabdophora” was published in the Geological Magazine for 1873, a great deal of fresh information has been gathered as to these interesting fossils; but the classification given in that paper, though to some extent confessedly artificial, is still generally adhered to. Observations made by the authors in recent years lead them to suppose that that classification will in the future undergo considerable modification; but in the present state of our knowledge it serves a purpose so useful, that it is not our intention to propose any immediate change in it. Our object, on the other hand, is to bring forward certain conclusions which we have independently reached, and which will, we believe, enhance the value of Graptolites to the stratigraphical geologist, and lead to results important to the biologist. Our conclusions are based upon an examination of a large number of forms generally referred to the family Dichograptidæ; but, as we propose very briefly to indicate, they affect the relationships of Graptolites belonging to other families also.

The Organisation of African Unity is now three years old. In view of the nature of both its scope and its goals, it would obviously be premature to attempt an evaluation of this organisation at such an early stage. On the other hand, the O.A.U. has grown precociously since its birth in May 1963, and the time is ripe for a description of its rapidly multiplying organs, and for some preliminary observations of the multifarious activity in which they have been engaged. To state that the O.A.U. is still in the cradle stage of its development is to emphasise the obvious. It is hardly surprising also that it should suffer the pains of growth, which are likely to be rather severe in the case of a scheme so ambitiously conceived. These facts must be kept in mind while reviewing the O.A.U. at its present state of development.

It is well known that the fertility of “virgin” soils is due to the accumulation of the débris of a natural vegetation which has been in occupation of the soil for a long epoch previously. Only when the climate and rainfall are suitable to the growth of the plants and the partial preservation of their residues does a virgin soil of any richness arise; on the one hand, virgin soil may be as poverty stricken as the most worn-out European field because it has never carried any vegetation; on the other hand, as in the tropics, the débris of an extensive vegetation may decay with such rapidity that no reserve of fertility accumulates.

According to the checklist presented here, the bryophyte flora of Hungary consists of 2 species in 2 genera and 2 families of hornworts, 146 species and 3 additional infraspecific taxa (1 subspecies and 2 varieties) in 60 genera and 34 families of liverworts, and 521 species and 17 additional infraspecific taxa (5 subspecies and 12 varieties) in 186 genera and 64 families of mosses, in total 669 species, 6 subspecies and 14 varieties or 689 taxa. During the last decade, 40 bryophyte taxa (6 liverworts and 34 mosses) were added to the Hungarian bryophyte flora (Appendix 1.1), and an additional 19 taxa (4 liverworts and 15 mosses) that were already part of the Hungarian flora but not recognised in the previous checklist, are now incorporated in the list (Appendix 1.2). On the other hand, 29 taxa (7 liverworts and 22 mosses) must be excluded according to our present state of knowledge (Appendix 2). Another 13 taxa (2 liverworts and 11 mosses) that are at present not considered members of the Hungarian bryoflora are annotated in Appendix 3. They were not recognised in the previous checklist (with one exception), but are reported from Hungary in some literature and with five exceptions are also recognised in the European checklist. In many cases we have insufficient information to definitely decide upon their status. Annotations to all taxa listed in the three appendices provide additional information. In Appendix 4 to all names of bryophyte taxa that appeared in the previous checklist (except excluded taxa) the presently accepted names are assigned.

The question of sacrifice in the Eucharist has been called by the Ways of Worship Commission of Faith and Order a ‘live issue’, that is to say a question over which agreement is not right out of sight though considerable and even vehement controversy continues. At Lund, the section considering Ways of Worship reported that they had held a lively and rewarding discussion on the subject, and had been surprised by the degree of agreement revealed; on the other hand it must be admitted that neither the discussion nor the resulting agreement are very apparent from the relevant chapter of the Conference report. This article is an attempt to examine the present state of the question against a background of ecumenical discussion, and to suggest ways of conceiving the Eucharistic Sacrifice which might be more widely acceptable than those commonly put forward by ‘catholics’ in the past. Its sources, besides a necessarily incomplete study of some of the more influential modern contributions to the discussion, consist mainly in discussions amongst younger theologians and theological students in the ecumenical movement. Whilst this group is not so learned as its elders, and its discussions are seldom recorded in print, its contribution can be a valuable one, because it is most sensitive to the issues which are now live ones, and also because it frequently seems to clear away misunderstandings more effectively and reach greater agreement than more senior groups.

The gynecological department that had existed for many years in the Petropavlovsk hospital until 1896 did not, according to modern concepts, have an independent character, since, for reasons not subject to close examination, it was impossible to operate in it. With a few exceptions, all patients who needed surgical aid were transferred to the surgical department. Thanks to the efforts and cares of the Chief Physician A.O. Metzler, since March 1896, the gynecological department has at its disposal an operation and instrumentation that leaves little to be desired and meets all the requirements of anti- and asepsis. It is obvious how essential the latter circumstance is for the separation. Of course, the name of such an operator as K.P.Dombrovsky), who was in charge of the surgical department, attracted at one time quite a few operational cases. On the other hand, however, many patients were frightened by the transfer to an unfamiliar department and another patient, who could be relieved of her suffering with the help of an operation, left the hospital without operational benefits. At present, the appearance of recovering from surgery makes it easier for this or that patient to undergo surgical treatment. I am far from thinking to bow before the operative polypharmacy, but still I cannot but admit the fact that, given the present state of our knowledge, the center of gravity should be shifted to the operative part of gynecology.

Given the present state of the study of Chinese economic history, this survey ought either to be limited to a single paragraph—or else it should comprise a monograph of several hundred pages. Thirty pages of selected titles may leave the reader with a false impression that these are the cream of a very large crop; on the other hand, within this space I can barely adumbrate the thousands of potential sources—printed and in manuscript, ephemeral and lasting—that will eventually have to be digested before the economic history of China will be definitively written.

The main purpose of this article is to carry out an extensive examination of the evidence available of the Old English affix ge- in general, and, in particular, of the ge-alternation, which holds between predicates that bear a form-and-function contrast such as hlid ‘lid’~gehlid ‘roof’. The gealternation is examined as a pure and a mixed alternation, co-occurring with gradation, zero derivation and affixation. The conclusion is reached that ge- is the most frequent and the most widely distributed affix in Old English. Moreover, it partakes in inter-categorial and recursive derivation. As a secondary goal, this article aims at assessing the descriptive adequacy of the database of Old English derivational morphology Nerthus both on qualitative and quantitative grounds. In this respect, the conclusion is reached that the amount of evidence of ge- that can be drawn from Nerthus allows for an extensive analysis of the affix. On the other hand, Nerthus, in its present state, requires more accurate and formalised meaning definitions.

AbstractIn constructions of copula + participle II, often called “Zustandspassiv”, we find many unclear restrictions. Maienborn (2007: 83-115) explains these by pragmatics in the following way: One invariant meaning is opposed to different pragmatic readings that are gaining their existence in the pragmatic level only. We explain these restrictions in semantics itself. Restrictions in forming copula + participle II-constructions are due to conflicts between the construction meaning of copula constructions and the construction meanings of participles II. Pragmatics is mediating between the conflicting construction meanings by means of pragmatic implicatures. Due to these accommodations nearly no copula + participle construction is grammatically wrong in a strict sense, but many constructions remain restricted in their acceptability. The construction meaning of Zustandspassiv is opposed to three meaning variants of participle II. The interplay between the construction meaning of copula constructions and the three meaning variants of participles II results in different accomodations between copula-constructions and participle meanings. In some cases participle meanings adapt to copula construction meanings, in other cases the opposite process is going on. On the one hand the construction meaning of copula construction is the predication of a property to the referent of the subject. On the other hand there are a post state (target state) meaning, a present state meaning and a past time meaning of particples II. The interplay with the construction meaning of the copula construction results in four meaning variants of Zustandspassiv: post state (target state) as a property, present state as a property, past time of an event as a property, and past time meaning only. The meaning ‘past time of an event as a property’ is grammaticalizing to a past
