Stone in Candollea 72: 80. 2017 [nom. illeg.]. ≡ Memecylon lutescens Naudin in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., ser. 3, 18: 269. 1852 [nom. illeg.] [non M. lutescens C.

Lectotypus (designated by STONE, 2017: 80): MADAGASCAR: sine loco, s.d., fl., du Petit-Thouars s.n. (P [P00057566]!; isolecto-: P [P00057567]!; BR [BR000000626115] fragment!). Notes. – The leaf shape and peduncle length of Lam & Meeuse 5624 (type of Memecylon meeusei) are unusual in comparison to the remaining collections assigned to Lijndenia lutescens (STONE, 2017). Because of this, it is rather unfortunate that the new combination L. meeusei must be taken up in accordance with the rule of priority. Under the present circumscription, however, these plants are regarded as conspecific. If future workers determine that the type of Memecylon meeusei belongs to a different species, then L. lutescens (Jacq.Fél.) Jacq.-Fél. would become the correct name for the plants previously known as L. lutescens (Jacq.-Fél.) Jacq.-Fél. The replacement name L. memecyloides R.D. Stone was illegitimate when published and will remain so unless conserved (ICN: Art. 6.4).Published as part of Stone, R. Douglas, 2018, Lijndenia meeusei, the correct name for the species previously known as L. lutescens (Melastomataceae, Olisbeoideae), pp. 257-259 in Candollea 73 (2) on page 258, DOI: 10.15553/c2018v732a10, http://zenodo.org/record/572462

Joyful Readers: The New Webster Series
No full textThe Monkey and the Glasses (162) is listed as from Russia. Krylov, its author, seems not to be mentioned. The story is well told, with two nice colored illustrations. Though this fable is in good condition, the rest of the book has suffered somewhat from young hands. Do not miss the streamlined train engine on 16! The book is copyrighted, apparently, in 1932 and 1939.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clarence R. Stone and Odille Ousle

Rapa Nui (Easter Island)’s Stone Worlds
No full textThis article explores the spatial, architectural and conceptual relationships between landscape places, stone quarrying, and stone moving and building during Rapa Nui’s statue-building period. These are central themes of the ‘Rapa Nui Landscapes of Construction Project’ and are discussed using aspects of the findings of our recent fieldwork. The different scales of expression, from the detail of the domestic sphere to the monumental working of quarries, are considered. It is suggested that the impressiveness of Rapa Nui’s stone architecture is its conceptual coherence at the small scale as much as at the large scale. </div

Excavations at Hillhead, Tarland, Aberdeenshire: a recumbent stone circle and its history
No full textThe study of stone circles in Scotland has mainly been focused on the large monuments of Orkney and the Western Isles. Several decades of fieldwork raised a series of problems that demanded further investigation. For example, when were the last stone circles built, how did they differ from earlier constructions and how were they related to henge monuments? How frequently were these places reused, and did this secondary activity change the character of those sites? These were some of the questions investigated by recent excavations in Aberdeenshire, and this output includes the results of new fieldwork undertaken at the Scottish recumbent stone circle of Hillhead; the stone circle of Waulkmill and the stone circle and henge at Hill of Tuach at Kintore

Archeometric Investigation of the Stone Tools of the Vatya Culture (Pest County, Hungary)
No full textWith the analysis of the middle Bronze Age (2000–1350 BC) Vatya culture findings in Pest county (Central Hungary) comprising of more than 400 polished stone tools and instrument tools this is the first archaeometric study with such scale in Hungary. In order to characterize petrographically the raw-material of the stone tools macroscopic and microscopic stone analyses were made together with mineralogical and geochemical analyses. In the course of the work a new digital database the Archaeometric Stone Tool Database was established. Based on the results, the material of the instrument stones is mainly sandstone and quartzite that were easy to collect from their source areas. Local volcanics, mostly amphibole containing andesite variations dominated among the material of the polished stone tools. Ophiolites (metamorphic basic rocks, serpentinized basic and ultrabasic rocks) were the raw-material of stone axes that indicate either more distant travels for raw-material or exchange import
