A New Species of Leiophron Nees (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Euphorinae) with Observations on its Biology and That of its Host, Plagiognathus Sp. (Heteroptera: Miridae)
(1966-01) Loan, C. C.
The euphorine braconid Leiophron plagiognathi is a parasite of Plagiognathus sp. (Heteroptera: Miridae), which breeds on Spirea latifolia L. The species and its final instar larva are described from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Brief observations on the life history of both species show that L. plagiognathi overwinters in the cocoon in soil and strikes early instar nymphs of Plagiognathus in June. The larva develops chiefly in the adult, and in 1962 and 1963 emerged in July. L. plagiognathi has one generation per annum.
Treatment of the Epidemic Disease Red Leg
(1966-01) Miller, Douglas L.
Reg leg was cured in the frog, Rana pipens, with chloromycetin, using a dosage of 5 mg initially and 3 mg twice daily, or sulphadiazine with 15 mg initially and 10 mg twice daily. The drugs are best administered in suspension by gastric intubation, using a calibrated rubber bulb pipette and suspensions of a 250 mg capsule of chloromycetin in 22 cc water yielding 3 mg per x/i cc of suspension. Other species of frogs or toads may be treated with the above methods with dosages proportional to body weights.
Comments on the Taxonomy of the Three-Spined Stickleback, Gasterosteus Aculeatus Linnaeus
(1966-01) Penczak, Tadeusz
On the basis of 5491 specimens from 61 habitats in all parts of Poland, the author infers that the present accepted division of the three-spined stickleback into trachura, homozygote living in salt waters and coastal waters, and leiura, homozygote living in fresh continental waters, with semiarmata separated off as the hybrid of both adaptive types living in the borderline between both homozygotes, has not found confirmation in the analysed material. Members of trachura in Poland have their habitats in the whole area of this species. The semiarmata and leiura types appear in small numbers either together with, or independently of, the members of trachura, and are confined to the coastal waters of the Baltic Sea east of the mouth of the Vistula, and to the Odra and Vistula rivers not farther south than 51 degrees north latitude.

Periodicity in Oviposition of Ostrinia Nubilalis (HBN.) (Lepidoptera: Pyraustidae)
(1966-01) Schurr, Karl; Holdaway, F. G.
A perfect 24-hr rhythm was found in the oviposition of European corn borer moths exposed to the fluctuations of the natural environment, with a peak of egg laying at 10 pm Central Standard Time. On the other hand, corn borer moths held in constant darkness with unchanging temperature and humidity deposited eggs during the entire 24-hr daily period. However, a circadian rhythm in oviposition was revealed by regular peaks of maximal egg laying. There was a coincidence of the peaks of maximum oviposition in both groups of experimental insects at the start and at the end of their adult lives. During the middle portion of the adult lives of the insects held under constant conditions, the peak of oviposition varied from that of insects exposed to natural environmental conditions. In addition to the circadian variations, there appears to exist also a relatively precise 24-hr. rhythm, which ay or may not be intrinsically timed.
The Mud Valley Site : A Late Palaeo-Indian Locality in Holmes County, Ohio
(1966-01) Prufer, Olaf H.
The Mud Valley Site is a multi-component locality at which two distinct Late Palaeo- Indian components have been isolated on the basis of typological analysis of the projectile point assemblages. These components are dated on grounds of analogy with similar and related assemblages of known date from other parts of the Great Lakes region. An 'unfluted fluted' point component is dated from ca. 6,000 to 8,000 B.C., and a later lanceolate point component is dated within a range of 5,000 to 7,000 B.C. These two components are culturally and chronologically distinct, representing two distinct occupations at the site.
Further Studies on Inhibition of Growth of Spores of Penicillium Sp. and Aspergillus Sp. Isolated from the White Molds of Silages
(1966-01) Pasiut, Lad A.; DeMarinis, F.
Finely powdered commercial sulfur does not inhibit appreciably the growth of spores of the white mold, Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. Diethyl sulfite in concentration of 7.38 grams/liter is found to be toxic to the spores of the white mold, and its toxicity is markedly increased by addition of lactic acid. Infrared absorption spectra studies of mixtures of sodium metabisulfite and sodium lactate indicate no interaction between the sulfite and the lactate ions. The use of a solution of lactic acid and sodium bisulfite on heating silage in the silo gave considerable reduction in the temperature.

Studies of the Gyponinae : a Synopsis of the Genus Acusana Delong (Homoptera: Cicadellidae)
(1966-01) DeLong, Dwight M.; Freytag, Paul H.
All known species of Acusana are reviewed, including illustrations of the genital structures and a key to the species. Twenty eight species are included in the genus and 16 of these are described as new to science. The known geographical distribution of each species is also indicated.

The Botanical Pursuits of John Samples, Pioneer Ohio Plant Collector (1836-1840)
(1966-01) Stuckey, Ronald L.
From 1836 to 1840, John Samples, an Urbana, Ohio, school teacher and self-taught botanist, assembled one of the earliest collections of vascular plants from southwestern Ohio. Today his collection is preserved in the University of Michigan Herbarium. Of Samples' personal life, little is known except of his teaching. He conducted a private school in Urbana from 1833-1838 and taught briefly in Cincinnati in 1839. More is known of his botanical studies since he corresponded with John Torrey and Charles W. Short, two well-known botanists of the day. From these letters we learn that without the aid of "an instructor or anything indeed" he began his herbarium in the spring of 1836. The record of his botanical work ends abruptly in June of 1840. Cedar Swamp, the Mad River and its tributaries, Wisham's Pond, Dougan Prairie, and the "barrens" were among his favorite collecting sites in Champaign County. Here he not only secured most of the common plants of the region, but also some plants which have either never or rarely been collected in the area since. He also gathered plants in Hamilton, Logan, Madison, Miami, and Scioto counties. Plants from his friends' gardens indicate that he had an interest in gardening. In this study, 490 of his specimens have been located. A list of these plants with his original notes serves to document the natural flora of the Mad River valley as it was known in his day.
