This chapter tracks the earliest Nonconformist Sunnyside to Quakers in 1706 in Crawshawbooth, Lancashire, and then follows as Quakers spread the name Sunnyside around the country from North to South. Quakers took the name to North America, where it is still in use as a church name. Different Nonconformist sects are described, and Sir John Betjeman’s fictitious depiction of Sandemanians and Swedenborgians is presented. The novelist Washington Irving’s highly-influential Sunnyside at Tarrytown in the state of New York is investigated, and it is posited that he named it after the farm named Sunnyside, Melrose, TD6 9BE, in the Scottish Borders, which has been so-named since at least the 1590s. Irving would have seen this farm as a young man when visiting Sir Walter Scott at his nearby house Abbotsford. An excursus discusses Sir James Murray’s Sunnysides, and his annoyance with Sir Walter Scott.

Correlative Relationship

Coyotes (Canis latrans) were historically restricted to central North America. In less than two centuries, however, Coyotes have colonized most of the continent, including much of northeastern North America. Better understanding causes and proximate mechanisms of this expansion requires a detailed understanding of how Coyotes colonized areas on a fine scale. We examined the establishment of Coyotes in the State of New York by collecting and analyzing reports of their first occurrence throughout the state over the past century, and creating a detailed map of range expansion. Coyotes first entered New York from the north, circled the Adirondack region prior to colonizing it, and then expanded southward and westward at ca. 78-90 km/decade. The revealed pattern lends little support to the hypotheses that the range expansion is attributable to translocations and releases, or that Coyotes were historically present in the region and only recently expanded in numbers. Rather, the data suggest a correlative relationship between anthropogenic land use and Coyote range expansion.

Introduced Pest

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major yield-reducing pathogen of soybeans in North America. The nematode is an introduced pest and, therefore, knowledge of the distribution of SCN can be helpful in identifying areas where scouting and management efforts should be focused. Such information is especially important because yield-reducing infestations of SCN can occur without obvious above-ground symptoms appearing. In late 2016, nematologists, plant pathologists, and state plant regulatory officials from the soybean-producing states in the United States and provinces in Canada were queried to obtain the latest information on where the nematode had been found. An updated map of the known distribution of SCN in North America was also created. There were 17 states in which SCN was newly found since 2014, when the map was last updated, including the first discovery of SCN in the state of New York. North Dakota was the state with the greatest number of counties, seven, in which SCN had been newly discovered since 2014. This updated information illustrates that the nematode continues to spread throughout the soybean-growing areas of the continent and emphasizes that continued efforts to scout for and manage SCN are warranted.

The current note reports two new populations of the introduced snail Carychium minimum O.F. Müller, 1774 at Ithaca, New York, USA. It confirms the naturalization of this species in Northeastern North America, which was previously known on drift material only.

Charles C. Zoller (1856-1934) was prolific photographer and native of Rochester, New York. His archive is held at George Eastman International Museum of Photography and Film and consist of over 8,000 photographic objects, just under 4,000 of which are autochrome plates. This thesis focuses on the approximately 317 Zoller autoochromes of Florida that make up a small fraction of the fonds This thesis furthermore considers the visual representatin of Florida in color in the early twentieth century and compares tropes in this imagery to Zoller's representation of the Sunshine State. Traveling and photographing extensively in North America and Europe, Zoller produced both color images with Lunière Autochrome plates and black-and-white images with various photographic products. Upon return to Upstate New york, Zoller gave lectures on a variety of topics, illustrating these lectures with projected autochromes and lantern slides. Since there are few know autochromes of Florida, Zoller's series are some of the earliest examples of color photographs of the state. While Zoller's images are often predictable representations of Florida, they nevertheless provide a window into how Florida was presented in the early part of the last century. This thesis compares Zoller's autochromes to other popular images of Florida in that time.

Amongst the parallelisms which may be drawn between the Silurian series of Britain and that of North America, none so far has been so certainly established as the equivalency of the “Niagara Formation” to the Wenlock Group. In its most typical development, as in the State of New York, the Niagara formation, consists of an inferior series of argillaceous sediments, the “Niagara Shales,” and of a superior series of calcareous accumulations, the “Niagara Limestone.” At the Falls of Niagara itself, and at the Falls of the Genesee at Rochester, the shales and limestones are about eighty feet in thickness each. In Pennsylvania, the Niagara formation is wholly shaly, and has a thickness of over fifteen hundred feet. In the States west of New York, again, the formation is almost wholly calcareous, many of its members being true dolomites, and its total thickness rarely reaches three hundred feet, and is usually much less. In Western Canada, finally, the Niagara shales can rarely be detected as a distinct group, and the formation consists mainly of limestones, often magnesian, with subordinate courses of shale, the whole usually varying from one hundred to two hundred feet in thickness.

The Way

In accordance with our plan, we now proceed to sketch the history of the Lower Palæozoic rocks in North America. While European geologists were carrying out the researches which have been described in the first and second parts of this paper, American investigators were not idle. The geological studies of Eaton led the way to a systematic survey of the State of New York, the results of which have been the basis of most of the subsequent geological work in eastern North America, and which was begun by legislative enactment in 1836.
