Letter to C. C. Painter on land and conditions at the Forest Grove Indian School
No full textA letter dated March 5, 1884 regarding land and conditions at the Forest Grove Indian School from George H. Atkinson, Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Pacific University, to Professor C. C. (Charles Cornelius) Painter. Painter was an advocate for Native rights and was the Corresponding Secretary for the American Missionary Association's National Education Committee. Both Atkinson and Painter were ordained ministers in the Congregationalist Church. In this letter, Atkinson responds to questions regarding the title to the land on which the Indian School buildings sat. This land belonged to Pacific University but would be deeded, Atkinson said, to the Government for the purposes of running the school. Atkinson closes the letter with his hopes that Painter will help the school to secure more funding
Letter to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs on reasons for keeping the Indian School in Forest Grove

Letter providing a final report on the Forest Grove Indian School to the Secretary of the Interior
No full textA letter dated April 24, 1885 providing a final report on the accomplishments of the Forest Grove Indian School as it was being moved to its new site near Salem, Oregon. The letter is from George H. Atkinson, Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Pacific University, to L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary of the Interior of the United States. In this letter, Atkinson makes a final argument in favor of keeping the school in Forest Grove, principally due to how the Native children were integrated with the white community. He describes the original aims of the Indian School and how it was established; the advantages of its site in Forest Grove; the difficult transition of the first students to the school which included resistance from their parents; accomplishments in vocational and academic skills among the students; and advantages to securing 'hostages' against Indian wars. By the time that this letter was written, the school was already in the midst of being relocated to its new site in Salem

TIME EVOLUTION OF SHORT-LIVED MOLECULAR SPECIES OBSERVED BY INTRACAVITY LASER ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
No full textAuthor Institution: Laboratoire de Spectcometrie Physique Universite Scientifique et Medicale de Grenoble BP68 38042, Saint Martin d'Heres; Department of Chemistry, Davidson College, Davidson; Department of Chemistry, Syracuse University SyracuseWe report the feasibility of using CW intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS) as a probe in detecting transient species generated by pulsed laser photolysis. The method of detection uses a time-generated CW laser beam and time-resolved spectra which are delayed with respect to the photolysis pulse. Variable time delays and a constant generation time have been used to detect the time dependence of the absorbing species at times as short as a few microseconds. We applied the technique to the study of the time evolution of the formation of the free radical HCO generated by photolysis of gas-phase acetaldehyde at pressures down to tens of mtorr. We have also found that the ultimate sensitivity of the ICLAS technique is limited mainly by the mechanical stability of the cavity. M. Chenevier, M. A. Melieres, F. Stoeckel, to be published G. H.

Corthylus burgosi Atkinson 2020, new species
No full textCorthylus burgosi Atkinson, new species Fig. 9 G, H; Fig. 13 A–D Diagnosis. This species appears to show characters intermediate between C. mexicanus and others in the group with truncate declivities. The circumdeclivital crest only occupies about 70% of the declivital circumference. Its coloration resembles C. mexicanus, one of several species that are bicolored with the disc of the pronotum and elytra paler than the anterior and posterior areas. The female frons is similar to that of C. mexicanus. It is distinguished from similar species by the very strongly costate elevation on the 1 st declivital interstriae which diverges from the sutural margin posteriorly, including C. mexicanus. Female. Length: 2.39 mm, maximum width: 0.95 mm; length of elytra: 1.23 mm; length to width: 2.5; elytral length/total length: 0.51; elytral length/width: 1.29. (n = 4). Frons deeply concave from epistoma to vertex. A yellow, waxy oval is present adjacent to the epistomal margin to the lower level of the eyes, slightly indented on the posterior margin. Surface of frons finely punctategranulate, without vestiture in the center. Short, erect setae present on the lateral margins of the concavity from the upper level of the eyes to vertex; these not long enough to curve inwards. Antennal club rounded. Both the first and second antennal sutures are marked by external grooves, the first partially septate. Antennal cirrus absent. Anterior margin of pronotum truncate, with raised, undulate margin (i.e., asperities confluent). Anterior slope with broad, weakly raised asperities, becoming closely spaced parallel ridges at summit. Summit not strongly raised, anterior to middle. Pronotal disc smooth, shining, paler than anterior slope, with widely spaced, shallow punctures, some of which subtend short, semi-recumbent setae. Elytral disc paler than posterior areas and declivity. Strial and interstrial punctures similar in size, confused, spaced by about 2× their diameters. Declivity abrupt, almost vertical, with prominently raised margin from apex, 70% of the distance to the base of the declivity. In the lower areas of the declivity the face is markedly depressed below the level of this margin. Interstria 1 with strongly elevated costa, in middle 2/3, beginning posterior top the base of the declivity and not reaching the apex. This costa diverging posteriorly from sutural margin, smoothly curved in lateral profile. Interstriae 2 impressed. Interstriae 3 slightly elevated appearing inflated but not costate, with 3–4 small, rounded granules. All interstrial setae on declivity narrow, apically pointed, spaced within rows by distance less than their lengths; present on costa of interstriae 1, base of interstriae 2, and on interstriae 3–5. Male. Frons impressed, shallowly concave above epistoma; convex above to epistoma. Surface smooth, with a moderate number of shallow punctures, with sparse micropunctures between them. Antenna smaller than that of female, more symmetrical, sutures 1 and 2 clearly marked externally. Anterior margin of pronotum with a row of low asperities, the middle pair larger than the rest. Identical to females in all other characters of the pronotum, elytra, and declivity. Type material. Holotype female. Mexico: Michoacán: Uruapan, 2019, light trap, H. Oliviera (CNIN). Allotype. Same data (CNIN): Paratypes. Same data (UTIC, 1 female); Morelos: Huitzilac, Colonia Monte Cristo, 2,207 m, 17-VII-2015, 4- vane flight trap, N. Hernández and A. Burgos (UTIC, 1 male). Etymology. This species is named after Dr. Armando Burgos Solorio in recognition of his numerous contributions to the knowledge of the Scolytinae and Platypodinae of Mexico. He was also the collector of the first known specimen.Published as part of Atkinson, Thomas H., 2020, New species, new records and synonymy of Mexican Corthylus Erichson, 1834 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), pp. 1-25 in Insecta Mundi 2020 (792) on page 19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.456489
Hypothenemus concavodeclivis Atkinson and Flechtmann 2021, new species
No full textHypothenemus concavodeclivis Atkinson and Flechtmann, new species Fig. 11 Diagnosis. This small species would key out to couplet 37 in Wood's 2007 key. Beyond this point it does not resemble any of the other species included in the key. Unique features include the fine, hair-like setae that are very long on the declivity, the robust body form, and the weakly sulcate declivity. Female. total length: 1.25 mm, maximum width: 0.60 mm, length of elytra: 0.8 mm, total length / width: 2.03, elytra length / total length: 0.64, pronotal length / width: 0.71. Frons flattened, central area between eyes with sparse granules and sparse hair-like setae. A shallow, longitudinal impression extends from epistoma to upper level of eyes. Antennal flagellum with three segments (plus pedicel); club oval, with clearly marked sutures. Pronotum with six evenly spaced asperities on anterior margin, central pair larger than others. Anterior slope with numerous small asperities (>25), surface smooth, shining, with fine hair-like setae mixed with asperities. Summit not produced, at or near middle of pronotum. Disc shallowly punctured, surface finely reticulate between punctures, vestiture of fine, hair-like setae. Surface of pronotal disc smooth, shining. Striae not impressed, punctures shallow, with short, recumbent hair-like setae. Interstriae smooth, flattened, 3–4× as wide as striae, vestiture of uniseriate, fine, hair-like setae, their length about the same as width of interstriae. Declivity occupying slightly more than ½ the total elytral length, its surface flattened, slightly concave between the third interstriae. Interstriae with long, erect, hair-like setae, at least twice as long as those on disc as well as confused, recumbent hair-like setae forming the ground vestiture. Longer, erect setae associated with fine granules. Striae also with recumbent setae, longer than those on disc. Strial punctures obscure on declivity, overall declivital surface reticulate. Male. Unknown. Type material. Holotype female: Peru: Loreto: Requena, Genaro Herrera, terra firme forest, 4°52′44.22″S 73°38′52.42″W, unbaited window trap, 05-VIII-2011, G. Lamarre (MEFEIS). Etymology. The species name refers to the unusual concave declivity in this species.Published as part of Atkinson, Thomas H. & Flechtmann, Carlos A. H., 2021, New species, new records and synonymy of Brazilian species of Hypothenemus Westwood, 1834 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), pp. 1-33 in Insecta Mundi 2021 (846) on page 19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.504137
