The Hebrides

چکیده
The papar names in the Western Isles are restricted to the north Hebrides. The reasons for this distinction between north and south Hebrides have already been speculated on above (3.2. Situation in the Hebrides; also in Crawford, 2005, 94). Is it a reflection of the different toponymic (place-name) pattern in the two areas? Or has it something to do with the pre-Norse political /ecclesiastical situation? Maybe the absence of papar places in the south Hebrides is a reflection of the nature of Scandinavian presence there which was different from Viking activity in the north Hebrides. It certainly does not reflect an absence of Christian monastic communities! The reasons are not obvious and the following discussion is a preliminary exploration of different aspects associated with the location of the papar places.

New Hebrides trench : subduction rate from associated lithospheric bulge 1
We present new data on the lithospheric bulge in the vicinity of the Loyalty and New Hebrides Islands, and attempt to interpret the difference of the topographic profile of the outer wall of the New Hebrides trench from a theoretical profile. The free edge of the lithospheric plate appears to correspond to a line of maximum seismic strain release. The uplift rate and consequently the subduction...

The mean ̄ow at and around the Hebrides and Shetland Shelf slope is measured with ARGOS tracked drifters. Forty-two drifters drogued at 50 m were deployed in three circles over the Hebrides slope at 56.15°N in two releases, one on 5th December, 1995 and the second on 5±9th May, 1996. The circles span a distance of some 20 km from water depths of 200 m to 1200 m. Drifters are initially advected ...

Analysis of speech produced by 24 male and female Gaelic-English bilinguals aged 19-75 found that, while most participants produced...
متن کاملA New Type of Mammalian Intersexuality
IN 1922, while investigating the fauna of the New Hebrides under the Percy Sladen Trust, I found that many of the domestic pigs (Suspapuensis Less, and Garn.) kept by the natives were intersexual. These monstrosities had previously been noticed by anthropologists (Codrington, 1891). I dissected one of them and found that it differed from the great majority of the intersex pigs and goats occasio...
