Special Publication (J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology) no.16
No full textOnline version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 16This paper arose out of difficulties in identifying collections of gobies whose upper pectoral fin rays are silklike and partially or predominantly free of membrane. Four such species have been recorded from South Africa, but there has been considerable confusion over their identification . Various unreported characters were found useful in separating the species. Certain problems exist in separating J.L.B. Smith's type specimens from the general collection. He invariably separated one specimen (labelled as "type") which was stored in a special type cupboard. This occurred whether or not a holotype was actually designated in the original description. Thus, particularly in his earlier works where no holotype was designated, these specimens (for new species based on more than one specimen) are nomenclatorally syntypes. I will refer to such "type" specimens as "syntype (= putative lectotype)". The remaining specimens (either the rest of the syntypic series or, later, the paratypes) were returned to the general collection. Owing to space limitations, all specimens of the same species were, where possible, kept in a single large jar. Paper tags were sewn on to the specimens, giving locality and date of collection. These tags have an unfortunate tendency to disintegrate. Subsequent separation of syntypes and paratypes is, therefore, subject to error. Since in a syntypic series I am referring to a "putative lectotype", the remainder of such series will be called "syntypes (= putative paralectotypes)"

Sam Houston July 31, 1939 Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I rec't yours and Aunt Lucia's letter a few days ago and of course was glad to get it. I'm writing this letter rather hurriedly so it can get in this morning's mail, so it will be rather brief. I haven't much to say any how. I will be re-enlisted tomorrow for foreign service, Phillipine Department and will leave for home tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning. Therefore I will be there on either the second or third of August if the bust lines run according to schedule. I am in the best of health and hope both of you are the same.

PRESENT TENSE
21 September - 19 October 2024
Reid Gallery and Reid Ground Floor Corridor
"PRESENT TENSE is a new exhibition by artists and long-time collaborators SMITH/STEWART. Since the mid 1990’s Stephanie Smith and Eddie Stewart have been making work together as SMITH/STEWART. They work and live in Glasgow and both teach in The School of Fine Art.
Their work explores interdependence and the relationships we have with one another. They make sculptural installations, with a primary emphasis on the body and the implication of the viewer. Their practice develops out of collaborative dialogue and material investigation, to construct situations in which the viewer becomes central as an active constituent. Pared back to what’s essential, they are interested in the co-existence of connection and separation, power and powerlessness. Of things shifting in and out of sync with one another, coming together and moving apart.
They are showing a new body of work in the Reid Gallery and alongside, in the Reid corridor, they present material in relation to their process of making, never usually shown.
SMITH/STEWART’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and they have participated in key survey shows on both video and language. They have had solo exhibitions in NGBK Berlin, Kunstmuseum Luzern, Portikus Frankfurt am Main, Chisenhale Gallery London, Inverleith House Edinburgh. Their work is in public collections including Arts Council England, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and Tate."
(Gallery Handout)
Accompanying Events:
- Public gallery tour, led by the artists
- Video Screening, introduced by Laura Haynes (GSA) with audience Q+A
The research and development of the body of new sculptural installation work shown was, in part, supported by a summer residency period in the Reid Gallery. This was also informed by two critical conversations with researchers Ross Birrell (GSA Research) & Viviana Checchia (VOID, Derry).
We worked closely with Jenny Brownrigg & John Farrell (GSA Exhibitions). We collaborated with Anna Gordon (Head of S&J, GSA) to make a double silver ring '&'. This was bespoke to us, made for holding hands and worn by the artists for the duration of the exhibition opening, as an unannounced performance. Fabrication of the installation works was supported by GSA TSD, particularly Giulia Lazzaro & Nick Carlin and external sculptural fabricators, Sculpture & Design (Glasgow) Ltd.

Menlo Park, Cal. 20 Nov. 45 Dear Grandma & Grandpa, I was very glad to hear from you and to know that you both are O.K. If someone had told me that I would be here this long I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that when I arrived in the U.S. on the 15th of October, that I would be there by the 1st of Nov. or shortly afterwards. Later I found it would take a little more time so I figured I would be there before Thanksgiving. Now I'm beginning to think I'll be lucky to get there by my birthday. I never saw so much inefficiency in the Army. Nobody knows anything 2 or seems to care very much. I can't tell you how sorry I am not to be able to see you. However, the longer my furlough is delayed, the further into next year it will last. When I do get started, it will be a pretty fast trip. I'm not staying very long anywhere until I get there. Everyone here is fine. Doris may bring both children. I don't know yet. "Dodie" is going to school but it will soon be Christmas Holiday's and she wouldn't miss much. I only wish it was summer. I expect it will be pretty cold there. I will have to bring Doris back before 3 Christmas then I will come back. I got a letter from Aunt Lucia a few days ago. She told me about her kids. They've certainly grown up, haven't they?I am still in the best of health. I am heavier than I was before the war. Maybe that's why my picture didn't look natural. Well I must close for this time. Love to all, Smith S. L. Green 45 Jersey St. San Francisco, Cal. Mr. W.M. Green Box 426 Broken Bow, Okla

March 5, 1940 Dear Grandpa and Grandma, I got your letter a week or so ago but haven't had time to answer until now. I have been out here for over a week now and may stay until May. Camp O'donnel is about 150 kilmoeters North and east of Manila in the foot hills of the Zambale Mountains, in the province of the same name. We are all living in tents on the bank of a river, in a kind of a valley. And boy! is it hot! It was a wilderness until we cleared the space for the camp. We 2 will do our annual firing and some maneuvering while we are here. I am operating a radio with Ft. Stotsenburg ,in Pampampas, and with Manila. That is our only means of communication at present. I certainly am getting a lot of field experience while over here. All the newspaper clippings certainly did look out of season. Our hot season is started about now. The cool season is about like summer where you are. WE get all the war news and international events as soon as you do because there are several daily papers 3 in Manila. however I haven't seen a paper for over a week and probably won't for several more. I got a letter from Aunt Lois and Beatrice a few days ago and will answer as soon as I have a chance. I have a heck of a time keeping up with my correspondence. I write to you, Virginia, Doris, DAvid, Bette (a girl in Frisco), a friend in the Navy, two friends in Hawaii and a few others. So you can see that I have to do a lot of writing. I am stillin good health as usual. I guess I'm 4 not the type to get sick. Don't worry about me getting stuck on the girls. They are all brown and usually slant-eyed. Tell Aunt Lucia, Jewel Dean and others hello for me. I would write more but am pushed for time. Also tell Olen Bates Hello. Whew! You should feel the heat through the tent. Just like an oven. Address letters to same place. They will be delivered to me wherever I am. Write soon with all the news. I like to hear about everybody. Take care of yourself! Lots of love, Smith S. Green Hq.

No full textLetter from Smith Green to his grandparents, William and Mary Green (June 6, 1937).Fort Sam Houston, Texas June 6, 1937 Dear Grandma and Grandpa I received your letter yesterday and was certainly glad to hear from you. I am getting along fine and hope you all are the same. It certainly has been raining plenty here the last week or two. We had a five inch rain about a week ago and another one of about two inches a few days later. Our Barracks is in a slightly low place so we got lots of water. It was two feet deep on the front lawn and we had to use sandbags to keep the basement from being flooded. I'm sorry I didn't get to come home. The Tank Co. is granting no more furloughs except in case of emergency until this fall. We must have enough men trained for two combat platoons by time for the big maneuvers this late summer. The 15th of this month about 130 men and 7 officers are going to make a good will tour of north east Texas. Every organization in the post will be represented; Infantry, Field Artillery, Tanks ordnance, Signal Corps, Chemical Warfare service etc. The 9th Infantry is going also. I am going as part of the TAnk Crew. We make eleven towns in 15 days. The Chamber of Commerce of each town will eat a meal with us and we will put on a demonstration for the citizens. Some of the towns are Palestine, Corsicana, Lufkin and Taylor. I hope we have a good time. You never did say whether you needed the money or not. Tell every one hello for me. I must close now. Lots of Love Smith S. Green 2nd Tank Co. Ft. Sam Houston Texas Mr. W.M. Green Box #426 Broken Bow, Oklahoma have you any aspirin or ?
Letter from Smith Green to grandma and grandpa
No full textLetter from Smith Green to his grandparents, William and Mary Green, giving updates.P.S. The date is one day different over here because we crossed the international date line. One day we went to bed on Friday night and woke up the next morning and it was Sunday. Love Smith Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Well, here I am at last in Manila, P.I. We arrived in Manila Bay after dark on Thursday the 26th and dropped anchor until morning. About 8 AM on the 27th we docked and were greeted by the 31st Infantry band and practically every soldier that could get off. After we got off the boat we had a physical inspection and were vaccinated again for typhoid. Oh, yes! I'll mention Honolulu again. We got there at 2 P.M. one day and pulled out at noon next day. Two former members of the 2d Tank Co. were at the dock to meet me and the other three. They showed us around town. WE saw the original hula-hula by native girls at the Y.M.C.A. Honolulu is a very pretty city with all the tropical plants and flowers in abundance. I didn't get to see Schofield Barracks, the big Army post, because it is about 25 miles from town. After we left Honolulu, we had 10 days at sea before we sighted Guam. We only stayed there about 8 hrs, so didn't see much. There is no docks there so we anchored in a kind of by and went ashore in Navy launches. The enlisted men couldn't go to the capital, Agana, because it was seven miles from where we landed. The place we saw was Piti, a clump of bamboo and thatched roof houses, among coconut and banana groves and rice paddies. The entire Island of Guam is a naval reservation so is a closed port. That is only gov't boats stop there. The place I'm in now is the Cuartel de Expana, inside the old walled city. The rest of the regiment, the 2d & 3d battalions, are in the EStado Mayor, on the banks of the Pasig river. All the construction of buildings are tropical. Just enough framework to hold them up with wide spaces of screen wire. I don't know much of the place yet but will write more when I do find out. Remember the address is Hq. Co., 31st Infantry Manila, P.I. I'm feeling fine and hope you are the same. Please write soon because it takes about a month for a letter to get here. All my love, Smith S.L. Green HQ. Co. 31st Inf.

No full textLetter from Smith Green to his grandparents, William and Mary Green, giving updates.45 Jersey Street San Francisco, Cal. Oct 24, 1945 Dear Grandpa & Grandma, Have been trying to call you all day but can get no connection with Mrs. Rose Hendricks. The Broken Bow operator says they do not have a subscriber by that name. I can't understand because Uncle Gus's telegram said to call her. I hope and pray he is better now. If I had known sooner I could have come there first althought I have to be back to the hospital on the 31st. I am doing 10 days temporary duty here in S.F. However, I have nothing to do. After I report back to the hospital I hope to get a furlough of about 90 days. That's why I took the duty here so I could visit the folks here then when I got the furlough I could come right home. I am in excellent health in fact when I first arrived I weighed 195 lbs. I don't weigh that much now though. I've been visiting around here and there every since the 21st, the day I left Dibble General Hospital, Menlo Park, California. Virignia, Doris, Grandma Smith, Claude and cousin Gladys met me at the docks. I certainly was surprised to see them there. I've also met an old friend of mine from the 2d Tank Co. He has been in the Navy since 1939. he is a Chief Radioman now. All the folks here are fine. I got a letter from Florence today. Also a phone call a few days ago. She and John's wife are fine. I've also heard from Aunt Lois in New Mexico. Everybody wants me to stop by but I'm afraid I can't. I hope everyone there is fine. Grandpa, You must get well so we can run around when I get there. Love to all Smith (over) You can phone me at ATWATER 3018, San Francisco We are still trying to get you on the phone. S. L. Green 45 Jersey St. San Francisco Mr. W.M. Green Box 426 Broken Bow, Okla.
Letter from Smith Green to grandma and grandpa
No full textLetter from Smith Green to his grandparents, William and Mary Green, giving updates.Ft. Sam Houston, Texas February 10, 1939 Dear Grandma & Grandpa, I haven't heard from you for some time so I thought I would surprise you by writing first. I am feeling fine as usual, although las week I had a bad cold, sore throat and a little fever. Everything is getting along about as usual in Ft. Sam Houston. The ARmy has changed our uniforms some. Now we wear trousers, or slacks, as soldiers call them, instead of breeches and leggins. They are much more comfortable 2 than breeches. When we are in the field we wear canvas leggins over the slacks. I was very fortunate in some examinations we had last December and have been ordered to the Infantry Communications School at Fort Benning, Georgea. I leave about the 17th of this month and have to be there by the 24th. I can stop over for a day or two in New Orleans if I care to. I go at gov't expense and get $2.25 a day for food. 3 I won't get back until the middle of June or thereabouts. I hope you both are in the best of health and are doing fine. Be sure to take good care of yourselves. Tell everybody hello for me. I hope to be able to be home for awhile when I get back from the school. I am sending a few pictures that the Engineers took at Ft. McIntosh. They can't show them as they really looked and felt, but you can get an idea. 4 Well, folks I must be closing. Unless you answer at once wait until I write from Benning so you will know my exact address. With all my love Smith P.S. The pictures are supposed to be important. I don't have but one set of some so please send back those I mark. Love Smith. S. Green 2nd Tank Co Ft. Sam Houston Mr. W.M. Green Box 426 Broken Bow, Oklahom
