Replacement of Cakile edentula with Cakile maritima in New South Wales and on Lord Howe Island
No full textTwo species of Cakile (Brassicaceae) have been introduced to Australia and the genus has been a common feature on the beaches of NSW for over 130 years; Cakile edentula has been present for at least 148 years (in NSW since about 1870), while Cakile maritima arrived approximately 114 years ago, (in NSW since about 1969). Collections at CANB and NSW confirm that since around 1970 plants more like Cakile maritima have almost entirely replaced Cakile edentula along the NSW coast. A similar phenomenon is reported for Lord Howe Island
World War I record of service survey for Haroll M. Howe, signed 2 February 1925.
No full textQuestionnaire about Haroll Moore Howe's service in World War I, 1917-1919, signed by Howe on 2 February 1925.Questionnaire originally part of a survey of Norwich University alumni conducted by a “Norwich in the World War” committee consisting of Charles N. Barber (chairman), Carl V. Woodbury, K.R.B. Flint, and Gustaf A. Nelson. Data from these questionnaires may have been used in a chapter of "Vermont in the world war, 1917-1919" by Harold P. Sheldon (1928)
'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Herbicide impacts on exotic grasses and a population of the critically endangered herb "Calystegia affinis" (Convolvulaceae) on Lord Howe Island
No full textIntroduced perennial grasses are capable of altering the habitat of native species, causing reductions in population size and vigour, and potentially affecting life-history processes such as survival, pollination and seedling recruitment. We examined the utility of herbicide treatment on two exotic grasses, Pennisetum clandestinum (Kikuyu) and Stenotaphrum secundatum (Buffalo grass) to restore the habitat of Calystegia affinis, a critically endangered species endemic to Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands. Using two herbicides, Asset (designed to affect only grasses) and Glyphosate (a general herbicide), we compared effectiveness in reducing grass cover on a population of Calystegia affinis. We protected Calystegia plants from the herbicides by ensuring their leaves were covered by plastic bags during herbicide application. Both herbicides were similarly effective in reducing grass cover after four weeks and had no noticeable adverse affect on Calystegia (suggesting the plastic bag protection was effective). After 26 weeks, Glyphosate was more effective in maintaining a reduced grass cover. Plots treated with either herbicide had a greater relative increase in abundance of Calystegia stems compared to untreated controls. The Glyphosate treatment resulted in the greatest relative increase in stem abundance, but this was not significantly greater than in the Asset treatment. We consider that spraying with Glyphosate treatment, with follow-up monitoring and spot-spraying, will assist the recovery of the Calystegia affinis population. Ultimately, the maintenance of a weed-free zone at the forest edge will provide suitable habitat for additional recruitment of this and other native species

Introduction : Romanticism and the letter
No full textRomanticism and the Letter seeks to redress the critical neglect of the letter in the Romantic period. Despite being an era of prolific letter writing, there has been no full-length study of letters written by the poets and other writers of the period, nor have letters attracted the sustained critical attention afforded to Romantic poetry, prose, and drama. This introduction discusses a series of important contextual matters relating to epistolary exchange, including the material and logistical culture of the letter, its importance for literary coteries, the writing of poetry into letters, gender constructions in letter writing, and epistolary conventions. It also briefly introduces each contributor’s chapter

Taxonomic and populational studies of the thallose liverworts Riccia subgenus Riccia
No full textTypescript (photocopy).Starch-gel electrophoresis and karyology were employed to establish more precise species circumscriptions in the taxonomically troublesome thallose liverwort Riccia L. subgenus Riccia and to survey variation among natural populations of R. dictyospora Howe. Significant observations include the following: (1) Little karyotypic differentiation was apparent among the 12 species examined. With the exceptions of R. mcallisteri Howe (n = 16) and R. nigrella DC. (n = 8?), n = 8 (7 + 1 m) in all species. Although relative chromosome lengths were similar in all haploid species, a large range in absolute chromosome length was observed among species. (2) Electrophoretic assay of populations representing 15 morphological species from the United States revealed species-specific banding patterns for the isozymes of peroxidase and malate dehydrogenase. (3) Electrophoretic phenotypes consistently permitted identification of material not easily assignable to species by morphology alone. (4) Distinctive electrophoretic phenotypes support the specific recognition of R. mcallisteri and R. albida Sull., both of previously questioned validity . A lack of distinction between the electrophoretic phenotypes of R. hirta (Aust.) Underw. and R. eldeeniae Jacobs suggests that the two names may be synonyms. (5) The distinct electrophoretic phenotypes of R. mcallisteri indicate that n = 16 represents autodiploidy in this species. (6) A combination of morphological and electrophoretic evidence indicates the discovery of two Riccia species that are new to the United States and, as yet, unidentified. (7) At Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, Texas, the geographical distribution of the allozymes of malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in R. dictyospora suggests that gene flow can be effectively impeded by distances (along contour lines) of 1 km or less. (8) A survey of eight enzyme loci in R. dictyospora detected three distinct sets of genotypes among 38 sampling localities representing the central, southern, and southeastern United States. The apparent in ability of linkage to account for these genotypic sets and the frequent coexistence at individual collection localities of representatives of different genotypic sets suggest that R. dictyospora maybe a composite of several sibling species
