Florence Barber Diary, 1902, 1901
No full textThis diary was formerly described as an unattributed diary and entitled: Diary (Portsmouth, Va.), 1901, but has now been attributed to Florence Barber of Norfolk, Virginia. In brief daily entries she talks about the weather, chores, and social life, trips to town, church, attending meetings, etc. In August she went to visit churches and schools in Georgia and Alabama, like Atlanta University and Spelman College, both historically black schools. She also mentions teaching music, attending educational meetings in Portsmouth and being elected president of the local YMCA. September 3 is the last entry in this diary.Research conducted by William and Mary students in 2011 pointed to Florence Barber as the owner and author of this diary. Their research also corrected that the diary was actually from 1902, not 1901 and that the author lived in Norfolk, not Portsmouth, Virginia. The diary was transcribed and made available online in 2012.For a more detailed description from staff as well as description and excerpts from the diary provided by the seller, please see digital item:

Vocal works of Samuel Barber
No full textMain purpose of this work is to present vocal works of Samuel Barber who is considered to be one of the most important and honoured American composers of the twentieth century. Despite this fact Czech musicological literature has mentioned Barber very rarely so far. Therefore this work relies on foreign information sources, especially on Barbara B.Heyman´s monograph Samuel Barber - The Composer and His Music. Besides, the author had in disposal number of Barber´s recordings and scores which enabled her to explore Barber´s music more thoroughly. The first chapter describes Barber´ s biography in context with his artistic development. The rest of work focuses on his vocal works for solo voice and last topic is his operas

(MMBC). Differential diagnosis. Arhaphe mimetica is characteristic by its small and glabrous body (3: 5.40–5.72 mm, ƤƤ: 6.10–6.53 mm), but remaining Arhaphe species living in the USA are distinctly pilose and larger (3: 7.24–9.34 mm, ƤƤ: 8.69–10.04 mm). (See also the Key above). Taxonomy. Barber (1911) described the species in the genus Arhaphe and considered Japetus Distant to be identical with Arhaphe. However, he later changed his mind, revalidated Japetus, and transferred A. mimetica to this genus (Barber 1924). However, A. mimetica fits all the characters within the generic limits of Arhaphe, including the typical shape of abdomen, which is quite different from Pararhaphe. Based on this evidence we restore the original generic placement of A. mimetica in Arhaphe. Bliven (1973: 129) wilfully synonymised Arhaphe capitata with Japetus mimeticus but did not provide any reasoning for such an act. Brailovsky (1981) treated A. capitata as a valid species, however, but with no comment on Bliven‘s (1973) opinion. The senior author has examined 14 specimens of A. capitata, and we can therefore confirm that it is a valid species different from A. mimetica (see also photo of A. capitata in Brailovsky (1981)). Biology and ecology. The specimens of the type series were found very commonly in company with A. arguta running about among the dead leaves beneath the trees, imitating very closely, especially in their larval and nymphal condition, some of the numerous black ants (Barber 1911). According to Torre-Bueno (1942), it has been taken concealed in dry leaves under an oak, in the Santa Rita foothills; one nymph was collected on November 2. A fifth instar was described and illustrated by Bergroth (1921). Distribution. The species is known only from a very limited area in USA: south Arizona (Atascosa Mts., Huachuca Mts., Santa Rita Mts.) (Barber 1911, Torre-Bueno 1942, Halstead 1972, Henry 1988). The record from Oaxaca (central Mexico) (Brailovsky & Marquez 1974) is doubtful and needs confirmation.Published as part of Stehlík, Jaroslav L. & Kment, Petr, 2011, Redescription of Pararhaphe and review of Arhaphe (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae) of America north of Mexico, pp. 35-54 in Zootaxa 3058 on pages 48-49, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20151
