We present the Ðrst CCD photometric observations of NGC 2383 and NGC 2384 in B, V , R, and I, NGC 1912, NGC 6709 in B, V , and I and NGC 1907 in B and V passbands, reaching down to a limiting magnitude of V D 20 mag for D3300 stars put together. The results of the spectroscopic observations of 43 bright stars in the Ðeld of NGC 1912, NGC 2383, NGC 2384, and NGC 6709 are also presented. The colo...

The materials are very scanty, but sufficient, I think, to enable one to draw some conclusions. In the summer of 1912 there was a go...

Congenital stationary night-blindness associated with myopia may be transmitted by two types of inheritance: X-linked recessive (Worth, 1906; Nettleship, 1909 and 1912; Kleiner, 1923) and autosomal recessive (Nettleship, 1912; Vogt, 1923; Gassler, 1925; Akiya, 1935; Merin et al, 1970). There are only a few reports of either variety. The present paper describes a family where 3 sibs are affected...

Observations of ctenophore species were made in the Gulf of Trieste between 2003 and 2006. We examined native ctenophore species with special attention to representatives of the orders Lobata and Beroida, and we recorded among them two non-native ctenophores: Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 and Beroe ovata sensu Mayer, 1912. The validity of the Mediterranean species Beroe ovata is discussed. ...
