Gangrene of the skin is a very rare complication of chickenpox. Barenberg and Lewis (1927) saw one example in over 2,000 children and Wishik and Bullowa (1935) saw four examples in 2,534 children with chickenpox. The condition was probably first described by Stokes (1807), but was first discussed in some detail by Jonathan Hutchinson in 1882. The latter's paper is notable for the beautiful repr...

Ilmenites from alkaline basic dykes in the Gardar province, south Greenland have Zr contents up to 3850ppm and Nb contents up to 1030ppm. These elements substitute for Ti in the octahedral site. These are amongst the highest recorded Zr and Nb contents for ilmenites, giving distribution coefficients (Kd ilmeniteJmatrix) for Zr up to 11.6 and Nb up to 70.3. Fractionation of ilmenite may thus hav...

SUMMA R Y. In the Dahomeyan of the western Accra Plains marie gneisses, amphibolites, and orthoamphibolite dykes in granitic gneiss occur. During the latest recrystallization, metamorphic conditions ranged (north to south) from oligoclase--epidote amphibolite subfacies through andesineepidote amphibolite subfacies to at least the medium or upper part of the amphibolite facies. Chemical analyses...
