THE ALFRED LEEDS FOSSIL VERTEBRATE COLLECTION OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF IRELAND—NATURAL HISTORY
Alfred nicholson Leeds (1847–1917) is famous among vertebrate palaeontologists for amassing an invaluable collection of fossil vertebrates from the Middle Jurassic aged ‘Oxford Clay’ deposits of the Peterborough district in the UK, throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Part of his collection was acquired by the national Museum of Ireland—natural History in november 1893 but has not previously been described. This fossil material includes a suite of Jurassic marine reptiles: crocodiles, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. There are no examples, however, of the giant fish Leedsichthys; the remains of which are commonly found among the fauna of the Oxford Clay Formation. Despite representing only a very small fraction of the total Leeds Collection, the specimens in Ireland are significant historically, and have scientific value in their own right. For the first time, in this paper, a historical review of the Dublin Leeds Collection is presented, the fossil specimens described and a long-lost piece of important documentation is presented. Historical review of the Leeds Collection Since the nineteenth century the clay pits of the Peterborough district, UK, have yielded a huge number of marine reptile remains. The collection housed in the nMInH (national Museum of Ireland—natural History), although a very small fraction of the Leeds Collection in total, is valuable because of its historical relevance and the intrinsic scientific value of its fossils. Although primarily known for its Callovian age marine reptile skeletons, the Oxford Clay also yields fish, including the giant suspension-feeder Leedsichthys (Liston and noè 2004), and dinosaurs (Liston and noè 2008). Alfred Leeds also included coprolites and invertebrate fossils (e.g. bivalves like Trigonia, belemnites and ammonites) in many of his sales, to provide institutions with a representative faunal suite for the Oxford Clay. General overviews of the Leed
Lonnie Liston Smith: An Oral History
Lonnie Liston Smith is an American pianist and keyboard player from Richmond, Virginia, born in 1940. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Music Education and an honorary doctorate from Morgan State University and has performed with Betty Carter, Art Blakey, and Miles Davis. His original music with the Cosmic Echoes has influenced the genres of smooth jazz, jazz funk, acid jazz, and hip hop. Scott Gray Douglass is a bassist and teacher also from Richmond, born in 1984. He is writing a book based on the oral histories of Richmond’s jazz musician educators. The two spoke by telephone in September of 2021. The following conversation is edited for clarity.

Leedsichthys problematicus: Arthur Smith Woodward’s ‘most embarrassing enigma’
The link between the renowned palaeoichthyologist Arthur Smith Woodward and the similarly lauded marine reptile collector Alfred Nicholson Leeds may seem an unlikely one, but they formed a close family friendship during their professional acquaintance. Amongst the many fish specimens described by Smith Woodward from Leeds’ Oxford Clay collection, the large suspension feeder Leedsichthys problematicus was a challenge that he failed to resolve in print. Work is done to resolve the confused storage history of the material, in order to identify and reappraise the bones that comprised the type material, in the process revealing a key misidentification that undoubtedly coloured Smith Woodward’s type description, and his initial understanding and interpretation of the animal
Effect of Gamma Radiation on Survival and Fertility of Male Anopheles stephensi Liston, Irradiated as Pharate Adults
Effect of radiations on the survival and fertility of male Anopheles stephensi Liston was evaluated in the laboratory with 70 and 100 Gy radiation dose. Irradiation of pharate adults with 100 Gy dose resulted in reduced emergence and longevity as compared to control (0 Gy) and 70 Gy dose. Fecundity and fertility of female An. stephensi mated with male irradiated as pharate adults was determined upto four blood meals. Significant decline was observed in fecundity after each blood meal at 100 Gy as compared to 0 Gy and 70 Gy irradiation. Similarly, the fertility was also decreased after each blood meal at 100 Gy irradiation. The present study indicates the suitability of 100 Gy dose for irradiation of pharate adult stage of mosquito as a part of mosquito management.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Defence Research Laboratory, Tezpur, India*Corresponding author, Email: dhiman_81@ indiatimes.com Please Cite This Article As:Kavita Yadav, Sunil Dhiman Indra Baruah and Lokendra Singh. 2010.
