S. G. Greer
No full textEarly in his career, Frank B. Bailey was active in Houston in the 1850s and most likey worked as an itinerant photographer traveling to various locations in Texas before setting up a photographic operation in Navasota, Texas from at least 1869-1872. Bailey continued his photographic work in Palestine, Texas, from 1878 until at least 1883, and was also in partnership with Anderson F. Terry in Palestine in 1884-1885.

Eremiascincus Greer 1979
No full textEremiascincus Greer, 1979 Type species — Hinulia richardsonii Gray, 1845, by original designation (Greer 1979 a). Content. Eremiascincus, erected by Greer (1979 a) to contain only two species (E. fasciolatus and E. richardsonii), is expanded to include the following species, formerly belonging to ‘Glaphyromorphus’: E. antoniorum (Smith, 1926), comb. nov., E. brongersmai (Storr, 1972) comb. nov., E. butlerorum (Aplin, How & Boeadi, 1993), comb. nov., E. emigrans (Lidth de Jeude, 1895) comb. nov., E. douglasi (Storr, 1967) comb. nov., E. isolepis (Boulenger, 1887) comb. nov., E. pardalis (Macleay, 1877) comb. nov., and E. timorensis (Greer, 1990) comb. nov. Diagnosis. The expanded Eremiascincus comprises small to medium-sized (SVL 44–125 mm) lygosomine skinks, which can be slender to robust; diurnal, crepuscular or nocturnal; terrestrial, fossorial or litter dwelling. No synapomorphy is known for this group, but it can be diagnosed by the following combination of characters: parietal shields in contact behind the interparietal; prefrontals large, in contact or narrowly separated; supranasals absent and nasals undivided; frontoparietals paired; frontal much longer than prefrontals; SupraLab 6–8; 1 or 2 InfraLab in contact with postmental scale; lower eyelid movable, scaly; small or missing auricular granules (when present usually 4–5); SupCil 6–10; supraoculars 4; 4 TLam 15–30; usually more than 24 MBSR; dorsal and caudal scales smooth or keeled, head scales smooth; limbs well developed, meeting or overlapping when adpressed (exceptions are E. pardalis from the woodlands and monsoon forests of Queensland and E. butlerorum from Sumba Island, Indonesia); fingers and toes 5; tail usually much longer than SVL; ear opening prominent; colour pattern variable, composed of either distinct crossbands, a reticulum, numerous spots or dashes and can include a dark lateral zone. All species are oviparous, but E. pardalis has been reported as egg laying (Greer & Parker 1974) and live-bearing (Rankin 1978). Differentiation of Eremiascincus from Glaphyromorphus is possible with the exception of a few problematic species. Members of Eremiascincus usually share a higher number of MBSR than most Glaphyromorphus: Eremiascincus (> 24 MBSR) is separated from the elongated, slender G. cracens (20–22 MBSR), G. crassicaudis (20–22 MBSR), G. darwiniensis (20–22 MBSR), G. mjobergi (22 MBSR) and G. punctulatus (18–20 MBSR). Furthermore, these species have very short, widely separated limbs when adpressed, a condition rare among members of Eremiascincus. The exceptions are G. fuscicaudis and G. nigricaudis and both taxa may represent a basal lineage within Glaphyromorphus (Greer 1979 c, 1989). The presence of an ectopterygoid process, a small strut of bone in the secondary palate (Greer 1979 a, 1989) might be of taxonomic importance as well, but seems to be absent in some populations of E. fasciolatus and E. richardsonii (Greer 1979 a). However, this character is not present in any member of Glaphyromorphus. Little more is known about the relationships of the elongated, short-limbed G. clandestinus Hoskin & Couper, 2004 from Mt. Elliot in northeastern Queensland. In their description of G. clandestinus, the authors compared that species with four subgroups of ‘ Glaphyromorphus ’ suggested by Greer (1989), a concept we have not followed here. Morphological similarities with one of these groups (G. c r a c e n s, G. darwiniensis, ‘G’. gracilipes) were apparent (Hoskin & Couper 2004) based on two soft tissue and two osteological characters and superficial similarities with G. punctulatus were indicated. We leave G. clandestinus as a member of Glaphyromorphus until further evidence becomes available.Published as part of Mecke, Sven, Doughty, Paul & Donnellan, Stephen C., 2009, A new species of Eremiascincus (Reptilia: Squamata: Scincidae) from the Great Sandy Desert and Pilbara Coast, Western Australia and reassignment of eight species from Glaphyromorphus to Eremiascincus, pp. 1-20 in Zootaxa 2246 on pages 8-9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19070
Oral History Interview with John G. Solis, March 31, 2009
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with John G. Solis of Irving, Texas. He discusses enlisting in the U.S. Navy on September 17, 1942, and was sent to the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, Texas for bootcamp. In bootcamp Mr. Solis talks about learning to shoot rifles by shooting clay pigeons and presentations held to teach how to identify enemy aircraft. While learning to fly, Mr. Solis was assigned to Bombing Squadron 1. In 1944 Mr. Solis ended up with the Torpedo Squadron 100 flying torpedo planes in Oahu, Hawaii. His squadron never saw combat, but he did witness U.S. ships getting destroyed by Kamikaze planes during the Okinawa invasion. He helped in some Naval strikes in Japan from March to June of 1945 before returning to the states for leave. Mr. Solis was still at home on leave when the war officially ended, and he was discharged on September 14th of 1948 due to signing up for a 6-year contract instead of the normal 4-year one
