Gastrointestinal tracts and lungs of 140 moose (Alces alces) and 186 wapiti (Cervus elaphus) from Cypress Hills, Alberta, were examined for helminth parasites. Moose were infected with nine species of parasites, including six nematodes, two cestodes, and one trematode. Wapiti were infected with 10 species, including eight nematodes and two cestodes. Six of the total of 13 species found co-occur...

[1] New images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show the distribution and geological relations of the Sculptured Hills, a geological unit widespread in the highlands between the Serenitatis and Crisium basins. The Sculptured Hills shows knobby, undulating, radially textured, and plains-like morphologies and in many places is indistinguishable from the similarly knobby Alpes Formatio...

The genus Homonota comprises nine South American species of terrestrial and nocturnal lizards. Homonota lizards lack the femoral pores typical of other South American Phyllodactylidae, and their infradigital lamellas are not expanded. We here describe a new species, Homonota taragui sp. nov., exclusively found on a small group of three hills up to 179 meters above sea level in central eastern C...

Detrital zircons as old as nearly 4.4 Ga from the Jack Hills, Western Australia, offer possible insights into a phase of Earth history for which there exists no known rock record. Ti concentrations of Hadean zircons indicate a spectrum of crystallization temperatures that range from a cluster at ca. 680 °C to apparent values exceeding 1200 °C. The low temperature peak has been interpreted to in...

Sm–Nd and Sm–Nd systematics were investigated in garnet inclusions in diamonds from Finsch (S. Africa) and Hadean zircons from Jack Hills (W. Australia) to assess the potential of these systems as recorders of early Earth evolution. The study of Finsch inclusions was conducted on a composite sample of 50 peridotitic pyropes with a Nd model age of 3.3 Ga. Analysis of the Jack Hills zircons was p...

an epidemic, which was perhaps as protracted and severe in its effects, as any other that has ever occurred in a regiment, even in this country. This history not only contains points of interest and importance, (especially those bearing on the movements of troops into camp,) but it will also serve to show that the position of the 58th during the epidemic was in many respects similar to that in ...
