Myorycteropus africanus MacInnes 1956
No full textSPECIES MYORYCTEROPUS CF. AFRICANUS KENYA Material: Various cranial and post-cranial elements, usually found isolated, described by MacInnes (1956) and Pickford (1975), or yet unpublished (NHM M 21542, housed at the NHM, London; KNM MW 184– KNM MW 189; KNM MW 484; KNM MW 537; KNM MW 649; KNM RU 3048–3061; KNM RU 3590; KNM RU 5767, housed at the NMK, Nairobi). Remarks: The Specimen NHM M 21542 might correspond to the left talus quoted by MacInnes (1956) as ‘unnumbered from R.1 series of Rusinga’. Specimens KNM MW 184– KNM MW 189 (relabelled) correspond to the published specimens KNM MW 84– KNM MW 89 of Pickford (1975). This author also attributed some of these specimens to ‘ O. minutus ’ (but see discussion below). Locality and age: Rusinga Island and Mfwangano (Kenya), dated to around 17.8-Mya (Drake et al., 1988). Discussion: The material considered here has been exclusively found at Rusinga Island and Mfwangano, where the holotype and paratype of M. africanus were also discovered. These skeletal elements have, however, no counterparts in the hypodigm of the aforementioned species, or are too weathered to display any diagnostic features to help with their determination. Their size and shape are nonetheless close enough to M. africanus to place the material close to that species.Published as part of Lehmann, Thomas, 2009, Phylogeny and systematics of the Orycteropodidae (Mammalia, Tubulidentata), pp. 649-702 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 155 (3) on page 680, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2008.00460.x, http://zenodo.org/record/544509

The London Novels of Colin MacInnes
No full textThe novels that compose Colin MacInnes's London trilogy, City_ of Spades, Absolute Beginners, and Mr. Love and Justice, are concerned with British society as it has evolved since World War II. By depicting certain "outsiders," MacInnes illustrates a basic cause of social unrest: the average Britisher is blind to societal changes resulting from the war. Most citizens mistreat the African immigrants, allow their children to be exploited by the few adults who realize the buying power of the postwar youth, and remain oblivious to crime, even among their own police force.
Though the novels are social documentaries, they are also valuable as literature. MacInnes's exceptional powers of description, together with his facility with language in general, contribute to the trilogy's merit as a compelling exploration of the human condition
