TIlE whole field of orthopadics and fractures is attempted in the two hundred and eighty-six pages of this addition to the Aids Series. It illustrates many of the advantages and not a few of the disadvantages of such "cramming." It is small enough to slip into the jacket pock...

This year marks the one hundred sixty-fourth anniversary of Richard Owen’s (1841) description of the first sauropod—Cetiosaurus, the “whale lizard”—on the basis of vertebrae and limb elements from localities across England. Although these remains “had been examined by Cuvier and pronounced to be cetaceous” (Buckland 1841:96), Owen (1841:458–459) demonstrated the saurian affinities of Cetiosauru...

When lactating animals are treated with thyroxine, milk yield is almost invariably markedly stimulated (Graham, 1934a, b; Jack & Bechdel, 1935; Folley & White, 1936; Herman, Graham & Turner, 1938; Smith & Dastur, 1940; Owen, 1948a; Chanda & Owen, 1951). Usually the yield of fat is stimulated to a greater extent than that of the milk so that an increase in fat percentage results. This latter eff...

A well known and simple game to model markets is the glove game where worth is produced by building matching pairs. For glove games, diff erent concepts, like the Shapley value, the restricted Shapley value or the Owen value, yield diff erent distributions of worth. Moreover, computational eff ort of these values is in general very high. This paper provides effi cient allocation formulas of the...

We report the molecular-phylogenetic identification of larvae of the nematode genus Gnathostoma Owen, 1836 collected from a snake, Ptyas koros Schlegel, in Laos and adult worms from the stomach of a dog in Thailand. DNA was extracted and amplified targeting the partial cox1 gene and the ITS-2 region of ribosomal DNA. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that all five advanced thirdstage larvae and s...
