A biography of and interview with Harry J. Fallon
No full textPerson interviewed: Harry J. Fallon. Interviewer: Smith, Donald F. Interview date: December 18, 2007. Interview location: Huntington, WV. Date biography was written: March 20, 2009.Raised during the Depression in the Catskill Mountain area of New York, Harry Feldman was one of nine Jews, mostly from New York City, who matriculated in the veterinary Class of 1938 at Cornell University. He changed his name from Feldman to Fallon while in college, thinking that it would increase his chances to obtain a job in what he perceived to be an increasingly anti-Semitic climate. Following graduation, he worked for a progressive mixed animal practice in Akron, Ohio, where he gained valuable experience in business practice as well as companion animal medicine. He then opened the first exclusive small animal hospital in Huntington, West Virginia and, except for his service in World War II, spent the remainder of his career there. Dr. Fallon was a leading veterinarian in the State, serving as president of the West Virginia Veterinary Medical Association and twice being named Veterinarian of the Year. He also published two clinical papers in national veterinary journals

The Sheldonian Theatre 3D model
No full textIn Spring 2022 Oxford Robotics Institute collaborated with Hilti Group and the Sheldonian Theatre to create a high quality 3D reconstruction of Grade 1 listed building. A Z&F Imager scanner was used to collect hundreds of high definition scans of the facility.
The result is a 3D point cloud of millions of points with millimetre accuracy using techniques developed for construction surveying. This enables the viewer to interactively 'visit' every corridor, room, and staircase within the theatre - from the basement to the attic and cupola.
Take the opportunity to visit the theatre directly from your computer!
Contact Prof. Maurice Fallon [email protected] for more details about this model

A biography of and interview with Edward Hagyard Fallon
No full textPerson interviewed: Edward Hagyard Fallon. Other participants: William R. McGee, DVM (WSU 1940), Walter W. Zent, DVM (Cornell 1963), Luke Hagyard Fallon, DVM (Cornell 1996), Mrs. Priscilla Fallon, Ms. Ali McGee. Interviewer: Smith, Donald F. Interview date: June 25, 2010. Interview location: Lexington, Kentucky. Date biography was written: June 2012.When Edward Hagyard Fallon received his DVM in 1956, he joined the practice in Lexington, KY, now known as Hagyard Equine Medical Institute. He is the fourth in a line of family veterinarians that dates to 1876 when a Scottish-educated veterinarian named Edward Thomas Hagyard was called to Kentucky to consult on a valuable Shorthorn bull. An equine practice (institute) of world renown grew from that original encounter. Hagyard’s three sons were all graduates of the Ontario Veterinary College and worked either in the Lexington practice or in Nashville, Tennessee. Third-generation Charles Edward Hagyard (O.V.C. 1924) joined the practice following his graduation from the O.V.C. in 1924, and about 15 years later, Arthur Davidson (Iowa State University 1936) and William McGee (Washington State University 1940) completed the troika of partners for what for decades became known simply as Hagyard-Davidson-McGee. The son of Charlie Hagyard’s sister was Edward Fallon who studied at Cornell, as did Edward’s son, Luke Hagyard Fallon, the fifth generation equine veterinarian who received his DVM in 1996. The present interview includes not only Drs. Edward and Luke Fallon, but also Edward’s wife, Priscilla, William McGee and his granddaughter, Ali McGee Kelly, and Dr. Walter W. Zent ’63
Fenimorea alba Fallon, 2016, new species
No full textFenimorea alba, new species (Plate 67) Type material. Holotype 18.2 x 7.3 mm (USNM 1291342); 7 paratypes: 2 spec., 18.8 x 7.4 & 18.5 x 7.2 mm, off Farallon Is., NE of Portobelo, Colón Prov., Panama, 09°05'N, 80 °01'W (EFG 30519); and 2 spec., 15.6 x 6.0 & 14.3 x 6.3 mm, Outer Duarte Cay, Colón Prov., Panama (author’s coll.); 2 spec.: 21.2 x 8.2 & 17.4 x 6.8 mm, in 60– 80 m, off Porto Bello Bay, Colón Prov., Panama, J. Ernest! Jun 2004 (P. Stahlschmidt coll.); 1 spec., 15.0 x 6.2 mm, Escudo de Veraguas I., Bocas del Toro Prov., Panama (ANSP 464991). Type locality. Off Portobelo, Colón Prov., Panama, in 18– 61 m. Range and habitat. Caribbean Panama (Bocas del Toro Prov.; off Colón Prov.). Reported at 10– 80 m. Description. Shell small (to 21.2 mm in total length), broadly fusiform, truncated anteriorly; early whorls nearly flat, convex and well shouldered below the sulcus on last 4, number up to 9 ½, the last 50 % of total shell length; surface matte, not glossy, predominant sculpture of numerous low axial ribs; aperture narrowly oval. Protoconch eroded on type material; number of whorls indeterminate. Axial sculpture of numerous convex ribs, 12–17 on the penultimate, 8–15 on last whorl to varix, which extend from whorl to whorl on the spire and evanesce on shell base near anterior fasciole. Ribs are low, somewhat irregular and narrower than their intercostal space, abruptly lower, narrower, and curved in anal sinus. Varix broad, low, hump-like, approximately ⅓-turn from edge of outer lip. Spiral sculpture of microscopic threads, separated by space 3–4 times their width, made jagged by the intersection of sub-equal growth striae between which are rectangular pits. More widely spiral grooves, up to about 11 on last whorl, overlay this pattern and end in “teeth” on edge of outer lip. Sulcus approximately ¼-whorl height on spire, demarcated by abrupt change in height of ribs, lower, narrower, curved, reflecting outline of anal sinus. Outer lip thin, flattened from varix to edge, which is nearly straight from anal sinus to the stromboid notch. Up to about 4 strengthening axial folds may be present; stromboid notch shallow. Anal sinus deeply notched, U-shaped, bounded by a parietal lobe on one side and outer lip, which is turned outward, on the other such that it appears spout-like; entrance slightly constricted. Inner lip narrow, margined, thickened and erect along anterior canal, thinner on parietal wall, and formed into a thick lobe posteriorly at sinus opening. Anterior canal short, open, turned slightly to the right when viewed ventrally; notched. Anterior fasciole with coarse spiral threads. Color white. No varical color patch is present on examined specimens. Remarks. Taxonomy. Fenimorea alba has all the key characteristics of Fenimorea: the typical shell surface microsculpture, a hump-like varix, and ribs that run from suture-to-suture on spire whorls but are significantly and abruptly changed in the sulcus. Variability. The eight measured specimens are an average of 17.38 mm in total length (14.3–21.2 mm), and an average W/ L ratio of 0.400. Identification. Fenimorea alba is similar to the following all-white congeners: F. nivalis, new species, F. phasma (Schwengel, 1940), and F. marmarina (Watson, 1881). From F. nivalis it differs in being larger, possessing ribs that are more convex, having a stouter shell, and a narrower inner lip. From F. phasma it differs in being smaller. From F. marmarina it differs in having narrower ribs with round, not ridged crests. Etymology. The White Fenimorea, named for the characteristic color of the species; alba is the feminine form of the Latin adjective albus, meaning white.Published as part of Fallon, Phillip J., 2016, Taxonomic review of tropical western Atlantic shallow water Drilliidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Conoidea) including descriptions of 100 new species, pp. 1-363 in Zootaxa 4090 (1) on pages 148-149, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4090.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26329
Fenimorea fabae Fallon, 2016, new species
No full textFenimorea fabae, new species (Plates 65, Figs. 5, 6 & Plate 76) Type. Holotype 10.1 x 4.4 mm (ANSP 370199); 15 paratypes originally from the same lot as the holotype, 9 measured: 10.4 x 4.5, 9.6 x 4.1, 10.4 x 4.7, 9.6 x 4.3, 10.3 x 4.4, 9.6 x 4.3, 10.0 x 4.6, 10.0 x 4.5 & 8.7 x 4.0 mm (ANSP 464999).

Jun 1982 (ANSP 370942); 2 spec., 8.8 x 4.4 & 9.2 x 4.7 mm, in beach wash, Millar’s Beach, Eleuthera I., Bahama Is., M. Williams! 6 May 1998 (author’s coll.). Range and habitat. Bahama Is. (Grand Bahama I.; Eleuthera I.), in shallow water to 12 m. Description. Shell small (to 10.4 mm), bullet-shaped, of up to 7 ¾ impressed whorls, last whorl large, approximately 66 % of total length. Spire short, slightly acuminate at its tip; whorls straight-sided except for sutural impressions, and slight creases marking the anterior boundary of the sulcus. Protoconch of 2 smooth glossy-white whorls. Axial sculpture of crowded minute ribs on the first 1 ½ whorls of the teleoconch, obsolete on the remaining whorls. Varix hump-like, approximately ¼- to ⅓-turn from the edge of the outer lip. Spiral sculpture absent; shell surface packed with microscopic growth striae and spiral incised lines, so close that under a dissecting microscope the shell’s surface appears velvety. Sulcus slightly convex, not excavated, but is marked by a slight spiral crease at its anterior margin. Outer lip thin, edge smooth, without scalloping, and without a stromboid notch. Lip edge, from the anal sinus to midway point flexed slightly into the aperture. Anal sinus is deep, round at its apex, lies next to the suture, except for the opening, which is skewed anteriorly by the parietal callus. Inner lip margined, and mostly a faint with a narrow wash of enamel; callus is present posteriorly on the parietal wall; columella is straight. Anterior canal is short, open, and slightly notched at its tip. Anterior fasciole not swollen; without spiral threads or ridges. Color white, with narrow orange-brown band below whorl periphery; patches on varical hump, and sporadically on whorls’ shoulder. Remarks. Taxonomy. Fenimorea fabae is the most aberrant of the fucata -like species [Fenimorea fucata (Reeve, 1845)]. The characteristic shell microsculpture of Fenimorea is present but is compressed—spiral threads and growth striae are closer together producing a felt-like surface when viewed under a dissecting microscope. High magnification SEM photographs of the microsculpture of F. f a ba e are compared with similar photographs of F. janetae Bartsch, 1934, and F. fucata (Reeve, 1845) in Plate 65, two species that exhibit the typical pattern of the genus. The presence of axials from suture-to-suture, although only present on early teleoconch whorls, a varical hump, in addition to the typical shell microsculpture allies this species with Fenimorea. The near absence of axial ribs is probably a secondary loss, perhaps an environmental adaptation. Variability. The 26 measured specimens have an average total length of 8.99 mm (7.3–10.4 mm), and average W/ L ratio of 0.445. Identification. Fenimorea fabae resembles the dwarf ecotypes of F. f u c at a (Reeve, 1845) that have the same color pattern, which are also found on Grand Bahama I., but possesses axial ribs, a more distinct sulcus, a straight, not acuminate spire tip, and a less dense “ Fenimorea -like” microsculptural pattern. Dwarf specimens of F. f uc a t a are depicted in the plates included in that section. Fenimorea fabae is also similar to F. culexensis Usticke, 1969, F. jongreenlawi, new species, F. caysalensis, new species, F. glennduffyi, new species, and F. biminensis, new species. It differs from F. culexensis in possessing a round last whorl, not square, in lacking fimbriations at the suture, and in having a different coloration. From F. jongreenlawi it differs in lacking ribs, a distinct sulcus, in being stockier, and in its color pattern. From F. caysalensis, F. glennduffyi, and F. biminensis it differs in lacking ribs, a distinct sulcus, and spiral grooves that end in “teeth” at the edge of the outer lip. Etymology. The Bean Fenimorea, from the Latin noun fabae (feminine form) meaning resembling a bean. The small, squat smooth almost oval shell has inspired the name.Published as part of Fallon, Phillip J., 2016, Taxonomic review of tropical western Atlantic shallow water Drilliidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Conoidea) including descriptions of 100 new species, pp. 1-363 in Zootaxa 4090 (1) on pages 162-164, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4090.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26329

Mackintosh! (P. Stahlschmidt coll.). Type locality. Petit Nevis I., SVG, in 8 m. Other material examined. 1 spec., 9.3 x 4.0 mm, 0.8 km W of Pigeon Pt., Tobago I., Trinidad & Tobago, R. Masino! (author’s coll.). Range and habitat. SVG (Canouan I.; Petit Nevis I.); Trinidad & Tobago (Tobago I.). Reported from 6– 9 m. Description. Shell small (to 12.3 mm in total length), stoutly fusiform, bullet-shaped, with a short, acuminate spire and truncated last whorl; to about 8 ¼ whorls, slightly convex on spire, last whorl approximately 64 % of shell length. Axial sculpture dominates. Protoconch paucispiral, of 2 smooth round whorls, the second bulging, edge slightly beyond suture with first teleoconch whorl. Axial sculpture of low, round ribs that extend from suture-tosuture, slightly reduced and curved in the sulcus, evanescing on shell base. Ribs number 11–15 on penultimate and 6–9 on last whorl to the varix. Ribs about as wide as their interspaces. Growth striae cover shell surface; striae on trailing sides run parallel with ribs; striae on leading side cross over ribs obliquely at rib shoulders, thence to suture, slightly arcuate in sulcus. Spiral sculpture of very fine threads, more closely spaced in sulcus, becoming slightly ridge-like on shell base and anterior fasciole. These are made jagged by intersecting, more closely spaced growth striae creating spirally aligned rectangular pits between the threads, the characteristic microsculpture of Fenimorea. Larger, more widely spaced spiral grooves are lacking. Sulcus demarcated with a crease anteriorly, with low, slightly convex, arcuate ribs, spiral lines and growth striae. Vari x broad, hump-like, ⅓-turn back from the edge of the outer lip. Outer lip projecting, somewhat flattened from the varix to its edge; smooth, without teeth, with a weak indentation anteriorly for a stromboid notch. Anal sinus deep, close to suture, round at its apex, partially constricted at its opening by a parietal callus and projection of outer lip. Inner lip margined, thickest anteriorly, thin on the parietal wall, formed into a parietal lobe posteriorly. Anterior canal short, open, slightly notched, anterior fasciole not swollen. Color white with light brown band below periphery; darker brown in intercostal spaces, patches on sulcus, and varix. Remarks. Taxonomy. Fenimorea jongreenlawi has all the traits of the genus: shell surface microsculpture typical for the genus, ribs suture-to-suture that are modified in the sulcus, a broad, hump-like varix, and a deep Ushaped anal sinus. It is unique for its small size and coloration. Variability. The 34 examined specimens have an average total length of 10.87 mm (9.3–12.3 mm) and an average W/ L ratio of 0.405. While the specimens from SVG are very similar in color, a single specimen from Tobago I. is more orange in color. It is not known if this single representative is typical of the Tobagoan population. Identification. Fenimorea jongreenlawi is similar to F. caysalensis, new species, F. biminensis, new species, F. glennduffyi, new species, F. culexensis, Usticke, 1969, and F. fabae, new species. From F. caysalensis it differs in being less stout (W/L = 0.405 versus 0.449), in possessing slightly fewer axials (11–15 versus 12–18 on the penultimate whorl), and in having a smooth, not scalloped outer lip. Also, F. caysalensis is more darkly colored. From F. bimensis and F. glennduffyi it differs in lacking minute “teeth” on the edge of the outer lip, is a paler brown color, and has a slightly acuminate spire tip, which is not so in F. biminensis and F. glennduffyi. From F. culexensis it differs in being smaller (10.87 mm versus 11.97 mm average total length), in lacking spiral grooves on the last whorl, in possessing a round not squarish base, and in coloration. From F. fabae it differs in being larger (10.87 versus 8.99 mm average total length), in possessing ribs and a more streamlined profile. It also has a different color pattern. Etymology. Named in honor of Dr. Jon Greenlaw, ornithologist and conchologist, who was hugely influential in stimulating my interest in molluscan taxonomy.Published as part of Fallon, Phillip J., 2016, Taxonomic review of tropical western Atlantic shallow water Drilliidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Conoidea) including descriptions of 100 new species, pp. 1-363 in Zootaxa 4090 (1) on page 177, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4090.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26329
