Impact of Zebra Mussel Invasion on River Water Quality - Effler, S. W.; Brooks, C. M.; Whitehead, K.; C. A. Siegfried; Walrath, L.; Canale, R. P. (Water Environment Research, 1996)
The biology of the zebra mussel is reviewed as it relates to water-quality problems in rivers. A relationship between population densities of the zebra mussel and their respiration demands for oxygen is developed, which can be used to support the analysis of the impact of zebra mussel infestation on the oxygen resources of streams and rivers. Dramatic changes in the water quality of the Seneca River, N.Y., a major tributary to Lake Ontario, have been brought about by zebra mussel infestation. These changes are documented from 3 years of monitoring data. The infestation converted the Seneca River from a turbid, phytoplankton-rich, nutrient-depleted system, with nearly saturated oxygen concentrations, to a river with high clarity, low-phytoplankton concentrations, enriched in dissolved nutrients, with greatly undersaturated oxygen concentrations. The degradation of oxygen resources was severe enough to cause violations of New York State standards for daily minimum and daily average concentrations for a number of days in the late summer of 1993. The associated loss in the waste assimilative capacity of the river is confounding waste discharge management and planning efforts in the river basin. This form of degradation is expected for other systems as the zebra mussel infestation spreads. The impact is expected to be greatest in rivers and streams with high concentrations of phytoplankton, large areas of rock substrate, and limited reaeration capacity.

18th- and Early 19th-Century Brickmaking at the John Jay Homestead: The Process, Products, and Craftsmen - Feister, L. M.; J. Sopko (Northeast Historical Archaeology, 1996)
On-site brick kilns were established routinely for construction projects at non-urban sites in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Archaeological excavations at the brick lot at the John Jay Homestead State Historic Site revealed features relating to the manufacture of a brick. Documentary and scientific research revealed information about the brickmakers and established a baseline for the identification of brick sources from three different areas of New York State. Comparisons between brickmakers at the Jay and Schuyler houses and between brickmakers and other craftsmen are discussed here.

Prehistoric Agricultural Systems in the West Branch of the Susquehanna River Basin, A.D. 800 to A.D. 1350 - J. P. Hart; Asch Sidell, N. (Northeast Anthropology, 1996)
Early Late Prehistoric (A.D. 800 - 1350) agicultural systems in the Eastern Woodlands of North America are best documented in the riverine interior. Other areas in the north, particularly east of the Allegheny Front, are relatively poorly understood. Recent excavations at the Memorial Park site, located in the valley of the Allegheny Front in the West Branch of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, produced information that adds to our understanding of early Late Prehistoric agricultural systems in the poorly understood region. The evidence indicates that agricultural systems at some sites included not only the maize, bean, squash triad, but also two varieties of domesticated chenopodium, sunflower, and cultivated little barley. Management systems included the use of stone hoes and large storage pits. The Memorial Park Site evidence indicates the importance of agricultural production prior to the appearance around A.D. 1350 of of shell-tempered pottery and large, planned villages in the West Branch Basin. Combined with information from contemporaneous West Branch sites, the Memoiral Park Site increases our knowledge of the mosaic of ealy Late Prehistoric agricultural systems in the Eastern Woodlands.

An Investigation of Harpellales (Trichomycetes) in New York State Blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) - Labeyrie, E. S.; D. P. Molloy; Lichtwardt, R. W. (Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1996)
This research project investigates the distribution and prevalence of trichomycete fungi present in blackfly larvae and adults in the region of Cambridge, New York. In blackfly larvae, two genera of Harpellaceae,StachylinaandHarpella,were observed in midguts, and four genera of Legeriomycetaceae—Pennella, Genistellospora, Simuliomyces,andSmittium—in hindguts, with a total of seven species recorded. This is the first published report ofStachylinaspp. in blackflies. Field data indicated that sampling date, host species, and location were all important variables affecting trichomycete prevalence in larvae. We report the successful laboratory infection of blackfly larvae within vitroculturedSmittium simulii,and production ofH. melusinaeandG. homothallicatrichospores from cysts dissected from the ovaries of infected flies.

Conodonts, Stratigraphy, and Relative Sea-Level Changes of the Tribes Hill Formation (Lower Ordovician, East-Central New York) - E. Landing; Westrop, S. R.; Knox, L. A. (Journal of Paleontology, 1996)
Tremadocian onlap is recorded by the Tribes Hill Formation. The formation is a lower Lower Ordovician (upper conodont Fauna B Interval(?)- Rossodus manitouensis Zone) depositional sequence that unconformably overlies the Upper Cambrian Little Falls Formation. Depositional environments and stratigraphy indicate that the Tribes Hill was deposited on a wave-, not tide-, dominated shelf and that a uniform, 'layer-cake' stratigraphy is present. The deepening-shoaling sequence of the Tribes Hill includes the: 1) Sprakers Member (new; peritidal carbonate and overlying tempestite limestone and shale); 2) Van Wie Member (new; subtidal shale and limestone); 3) Wolf Hollow Member (revised; massive carbonates with thrombolitic cap); and 4) Canyon Road Member (new; glauconitic limestone and overlying evaporitic dolostone). The shoaling half-cycle of the Tribes Hill is older than a shoaling event in western Newfoundland, and suggests epeirogenic factors in earliest Ordovician sea-level change in east Laurentia. Conodont and trilobite biofacies track lithofacies, and Rossodus manitouensis Zone conodonts and Bellefontia Biofacies trilobites appear in the distal, middle Tribes Hill Formation. Twenty-four conodont species are illustrated. Ansella? protoserrata new species, lapetognathus sprakersi new species, Leukorhinion ambonodes new genus and species, and Laurentoscandodus new genus are described.

Reconstructing the Avalon Continent: Marginal-to-Inner Platform Transition in the Cambrian of Avalonian New Brunswick - E. Landing (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1996)
A west to east, marginal to inner Avalonian platform transition, comparable to that in southeast Newfoundland and southern Britain, is present in the Cambrian of southern New Brunswick. The Saint John–Caton's Island–Hanford Brook area lay on the marginal platform, and its thick, uppermost Precambrian–lower Lower Cambrian is unconformably overlain by trilobite-bearing, upper Lower Cambrian. An inner platform remnant is preserved in the Cradle Brook outlier 60 km northeast of Saint John. In contrast to the marginal platform sequences, the Cradle Brook outlier has a very thin lower Lower Cambrian and has middle Lower Cambrian strata (Bonavista Group) not present on the marginal platform. The Cradle Brook Lower Cambrian closely resembles inner platform successions in eastern Massachusetts and Trinity and Placentia bays, southeast Newfoundland. A limestone with Camenella baltica Zone fossils on Cradle Brook seems to be the peritidal limestone cap of the subtrilobitic Lower Cambrian known in Avalonian North America (Fosters Point Formation) and England (Home Farm Member).

Upper Lower Cambrian Depositional Sequence in Avalonian New Brunswick - E. Landing; Westrop, S. R. (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1996)
The Hanford Brook Formation (emended) is a thin (up to 42+ m), upper Lower Cambrian depositional sequence that is unconformably bounded by the lower Lower Cambrian (Random Formation) and the middle Middle Cambrian (Fossil Brook Member of the Chamberlain's Brook Formation). These stratigraphic relationships of the trilobite-bearing Hanford Brook Formation indicate deposition on the Avalonian marginal platform in the Saint John, New Brunswick, region and provide more evidence for a uniform, latest Precambrian–Cambrian epeirogenic history and cover sequence in Avalon. The Hanford Brook Formation is a deepening–shoaling sequence with (i) lower, transgressive sandstone deposited in episodically high-energy environments (St. Martins Member, new); (ii) highstand–regressive, dysaerobic mudstone – fine-grained sandstone with volcanic ashes (Somerset Street Member, new); and (iii) upper, regressive, planar and hummocky cross-stratified sandstone (Long Island Member, new). Trilobites are common in the distal Somerset Street Member, and ostracodes and brachiopods dominate the St. Martins and Long Island members. Condensation of the St. Martins Member and absence of the Long Island Member where the Random Formation and Fossil Brook Member are thinnest suggest onlap of the Hanford Brook and pronounced, sub-Middle Cambrian erosion across epeirogenically active blocks in southern New Brunswick.

The Biology Of Nola Pustulata (Walker) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae Nolinae) - T. L. McCabe (Journal of the New York Entomological Society, 1996)
The larva and pupa of Nola pustulata (Walker) are described and illustrated. Lyonia ligustrina (L.) DC. [Ericaceae] is established as a host. The moth is much more restricted in distribution than its food plant. The species is univoltine, overwintering as an egg that is deposited on the twigs of the food plant. Hatching coincides with bud burst. A keel-shaped cocoon is produced and adults emerge in early June. A parasitoid, Distatrix sp. (Hymenoptera:Braconidae), and a predator, Nabis inscriptus Kirby (Heteroptera: Nabidae) are reported.

On the Distributional History of the Arctic-alpine Moss Cyrtomnium hymenophylloides (Mniaceae) in North America. - N. G. Miller (Bryologist, 1996)
Herbarium specimens of Cyrtomnium hymenophylloides document that this calcicole moss is widespread at lowland stations across the North American Arctic, largely north of treeline. It is found southward in the Rocky Mountains of western Canada, often in high elevation vegetation, and in New York-New England-eastern Canada in mountainous areas, but at lower altitudes beneath deciduous or conifer-deciduous forest. Its southeasternmost disjunct stations, which occur north of the glacial boundary, are interpreted as relicts on the basis of a late-Pleistocene fossil recovered from sediment of glacial Lake Hitchcock, southeastern Vermont. Extant populations occur near where the fossil was found. Spore production is unknown in North America in this dioicous moss, but its fragile stems may allow local dispersal at edaphically favorable sites and over longer distances in treeless vegetation. The southeasternmost disjunct populations may be clones, the persistence of which is favored by vegetative spread through the proliferation of new leafy branches from portions of the plants growing at or below the surface of the soil.

Changes in the Zooplankton of Onondaga Lake: Causes and Implications - C. A. Siegfried; Auer, N. A.; Effler, S. W. (Lake and Reservoir Management, 1996)
The zooplankton assemblage of ionically polluted, culturally eutrophic Onondaga Lake was monitored over the 1979–1989 interval, and compared to surveys conducted in 1968 and 1978. A major shift in the assemblage was apparent by 1987, soon after the closure (1986) of an industrial discharger of ionic (Cl; Na+ and Ca2+) waste. Species richness increased from 8 to 18 common species, and more efficient grazers, large-bodied cladocera and the calanoid copepod Diaptomus sitihides, became dominants. Until 1987, a single cyclopoid copepod, Cyclops vernalis, was the dominant component of zooplankton biomass. The most likely cause for the shift in the zooplankton assemblage of the lake is the reduction in salinity, and attendant precipitation of calcium carbonate, associated with the closure of the industry. Improved clarity in the lake, manifested largely as intervals of dramatic increases described as ‘clearing events’, observed annually since 1987, has been attributed to die shift to more efficient grazers. The increased grazing pressure, particularly from large daphnids, may also be responsible for the return of late summer nuisance blooms of filamentous cyanobacteria, not observed in the lake since the early 1970s.

Use of Stream Width for Determining the Dosage Rates of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis for Larval Black Fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) Control - Undeen, A. H.; D. P. Molloy (Journal of American Mosquito Control Association, 1996)
Data from several operational black fly abatement programs using Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (B.t.i.) in New York State's Adirondack Mountains were analyzed to determine what the concentration of formulation in the stream might have been if application rates were determined by a stream's width rather than its discharge. There was a high correlation (magnitude of R = 0.87) between discharge and width measured at 315 treatment sites. Had the applications been based upon the stream width, 96% of the actual concentrations in the streams would have been within plus or minus a factor of 5 and none exceeding a factor of 10, a range in which B.t.i. remains environmentally safe and effective.

The Archaeology of Provincial Officers Huts at Crown Point State Historic Site - C. L. Fisher (Northeast Historical Archaeology, 1995)
Archaeological survey of the site of a proposed maintenance building at Crown Point State Historic Site located the remains of three historic structures, identified as temporary housing of 18th-century soldiers during the initial construction of the extensive British fortifications, which began in 1759. These archaeological features and associated objects are evidence of both the material conditions of the soldiers and the social relationships among them. The spatial organization of the encampement separated the Provincial regiments from the British regulars. Within a single Provincial regiment's camp, the officers' huts were separated from their troops. The small objects recovered archaeologically are viewed in terms of their role in separating social groups of different ranks while uniting men of similar rank. In addition, the archaeological evidence suggests that the Provincials' camps were not "irregular" and "chaotic." By 1759, the Provincials' encampments reflect an increasingly professional or British attitude.

Storage and Monongahela Subsistence-Settlement Change - J. P. Hart (Archaeology of Eastern North America, 1995)
Enclosed, semi-subterranean storage facilities are synonymous with the Late Prehistoric Monongahela tradition in the lower Upper Ohio River basin. While these structures have been described in detail and changes in construction techniques have been documented, their interpretive value for Monongahela tradition subsistence-settlement system change has not been fully exploited. Changes in the number and location of storage facilities among Monongahela tradition sites, as well as changes in size and construction techniques, may reflect increasing social complexity in response to higher population densities and restricted mobility.

Upper Lower Cambrian (upper Placentian-Branchian Series) of the Northern Antigonish Highlands, Nova Scotia: Faunas, and Revised Stratigraphy - E. Landing (Journal of Paleontology, 1995)
Lithostratigraphy and depositional and epeirogenic history of the upper Placentian Series (Cuslett-Fosters Point Formations of the Bonavista Group) and Branchian Series (Brigus Formation) are identical in the northern Antigonish Highlands; Cape Breton Island; and eastern Placentia Bay, southeastern Newfoundland. Preliminary evidence suggests that the lower Middle Cambrian is present in the field area. A unified, uppermost Precambrian–Lower Cambrian, formation- and member-level nomenclature is appropriate to Avalonian North America, and the stratigraphic nomenclature of southeastern Newfoundland is applied in northern mainland Nova Scotia. Latest Placentian shoaling and deposition of a peritidal carbonate lithosome and unconformable onlap of the trilobite-bearing Branchian Series occurred in shallow Avalonian shale basins from eastern Massachusetts to central England. Uppermost Placentian Series faunas are very diverse in the Fosters Point Formation. Limited similarities with the South Australian Lower Cambrian are indicated by the presence of Camenella sp. cf. C. reticulosa, Conotheca australiensis, and Hyptiotheca sp., but these forms do not contribute to highly resolved correlation. Twenty-eight taxa are illustrated from the upper Placentian and Branchian Series. Caveacus rectus n. gen. and sp., a phosphatic problematicum, is limited to the upper Placentian Series. The oldest, skeletalized, macrophagous predators are the Pseudoconodontida and the later appearing Protoconodontida (n. orders). The Pseudoconodontida includes the Protohertzinacea n. superfamily and Strictocorniculacea n. superfamily (with the Rhombocorniculidae and Strictocorniculidae n. families). Strictocorniculum vanallerum n. gen. and sp. is described. The tommotiid family Sunnaginiidae emend. includes Eccentrotheca, Sunnaginia, Kulparina, and Jayceia deltiformis n. gen. and sp.

Prehistoric Extinctions of Pacific Island Birds: Biodiversity Meets Archaeozoology - D. W. Steadman (Science, 1995)
On tropical Pacific islands, a human-caused "biodiversity crisis" began thousands of years ago and has nearly run its course. Bones identified from archaeological sites show that most species of land birds and populations of seabirds on those islands were exterminated by prehistoric human activities. The loss of birdlife in the tropical Pacific may exceed 2000 species (a majority of which were species of flightless rails) and thus represents a 20 percent worldwide reduction in the number of species of birds. The current global extinction crisis therefore has historic precedent.

Earthworks and Mortuary Sites on Lake Erie: Believe it or Not at the Ripley Site - Sullivan, L. P.; Neusius, S. W.; Neusius, P. D. (Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology, 1995)
Models of cultural dynamics for southwestern New York depend heavily on the long-standing assumption that the region's earthworks are defensive fortifications associated with late prehistoric/protohistoric villages. This assumption rests largely on analogy with the historic stockaded villages of various Iroquoian groups. We suggest an alternate interpretation for some earthwork sites. Evidence from older collections and recent test excavations of the Ripley site in Chautauqua County, New York, does not correspond with Parker's (1907) interpretation of this earthwork site as a fortified village and cemetery complex. Instead, mortuary activities may have been the primary site function. We are testing this preliminary reinterpretation through analyses of materials from controlled, large-scale excavations. Our work to date demonstrates the need for systematic study to assess assumptions about the earthworks of southwestern New York and their context in the Great Lakes region. There is urgency for undertaking such investigations, since few of these sites survive and there is no plan for their preservation.

Monitoring Aspergillus fumigatus Aerosols from a Composting Facility - Syzdek, L. D.; J. H. Haines (Aerobiologia, 1995)
The large, outdoor Islip Yard Waste Composting Facility on Long Island, New York was investigated as a source of airborne fungus spores. The Burkard-Hirst volumetric spore trap was used for the first extensive sampling of small mold spores for this application. Samplers were operated continuously from 21 August to 30 November 1992 in the facility and in a suburban community about 540 m from the facility. A control site approximately 10 000 m from the facility was also sampled to establish background levels of fungus spores. The facility site had higher average readings ofAspergillus fumigatus spores than did the community and both were higher than the control.A. fumigatus was the only fungus among 30 categories tracked that differed significantly between the facility and control sites. It was also isolated repeatedly from the compost. Higher average levels ofA. fumigatus were measured in the community when winds blew from the facility, and also during times when the compost was moved or mixed at the facility. No correlation was found between wind direction or work times andA. fumigatus conidia at the control site. The study shows that this compost facility can produce a measurable increase in the number of airborneA. fumigatus conidia both at the edge of the facility and at 540 m downwind. It also demonstrates that the Burkard spore trap can be used for monitoring small, airborne mold spores, but it is a difficult and labor intensive task.

Feeding Ecology of Redside Dace, Clinostomus elongatus - R. A. Daniels; Wisniewski, S. J. (Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 1994)
Abstract– Redside dace, Clinostomus elongatus (Kirtland), from two populations in New York, USA, consumed adult Diptera; over 85% of the prey taken between April and November was in this order. Adult Hilara spp. (Empididae) were the dipterans consumed most frequently; individuals of this genus represented 70% and 60% of the items consumed by fishes from populations in Allcgheny and Hudson River drainages, respectively. Over 98% of the prey consumed by redside dace was in ten insect orders. Adult and larval chironomids and adult trichopterans were the next most frequently consumed prey. Adult chironomids made up 9% of the diet, by number, in both populations. Adult trichopterans accounted for 2–3% of the items taken. Adult empidids were selected by individuals in both populations. The dominance of flying insects in the diet of redside dace is related to their foraging behavior. These data show that adjacent terrestrial environments may be important to some stream-dwelling organisms.

Archaeological Investigations at the Mon City site (36WA737), Washington County, Pennsylvania - J. P. Hart (Pennsylvania Archaeologist, 1994)
Archaeological  investigations  at  the  Mon  City  Site (36WH737) on the west bank of the Monongahela River in Washington County, Pennsylvania revealed portions of a Late Prehistoric Monongahela tradition small habitation site. This site occupied a narrow Holocene levee between the Monongahela River and a back channel slough. Evidence of one house pattern was documented as were storage facilities, pit features, and a hearth. Pottery attributes, including a high percentage of final Z-twist cordmarking and dowel impressed lips, exemplify the late Middle Monongahela period. Uncalibrated radiocarbon dates indicate mid-sixteenth-century occupations. Subsistence remains reflect the exploitation of a variety of wild resources available within the immediate vicinity of the site and nearby uplands in addition to maize-based agriculture. The Mon City Site and another recently reported small habitation site indicate that this relatively poorly known class of sites played important roles in Middle Monongahela subsistence-settlement systems.

New Constraint on the Division of Cambrian Time - Isachsen, C. E.; Bowring, S. A.; E. Landing; Samson, S. D. (Geology, 1994)
A U-Pb zircon age of 530.7 ±0.9 Ma for a volcanic ash in the lower Placentian Series of the Avalonian terrane in southern New Brunswick provides a precise point for calibration of Early Cambrian biologic evolution. The ash is from the middle Rusophycus avalonensis Zone in Saint John, New Brunswick. This date is on subtrilobitic, Lower Cambrian strata that may be approximately correlative with the sub-Tommotian Manykaian Stage of Siberia and the lowest Meishucunian Stage of the South China platform. This age, when combined with published geochronologic data from the Cambrian, suggests that the Manykaian Stage may have lasted approximately 13 m.y. and that the Tommotian may have been considerably shorter.

Precambrian-Cambrian Boundary Global Stratotype Ratified and a New Perspective of Cambrian Time - E. Landing (Geology, 1994)
The Precambrian-Cambrian boundary global stratotype is the base of the Phycodes pedum Zone at Fortune Head, southeastern Newfoundland. The initial, two-stage radiation of the Phanerozoic fauna (the appearance of Phanerozoic-aspect trace producers and subsequent origin of diverse skeletalized metazoans) was earliest Cambrian. Fossil assemblages with deep, complex burrows or originally mineralized skeletal fossils (with exception of Cloudina) are Early Cambrian or younger. Correlation into Avalon indicates that strata once referred to the Proterozoic (e.g., Manykaian [or Nemakit-Daldynian] and Rovno stages) are lowest Cambrian and that the Siberian Tommotian Stage is middle Lower Cambrian. The thick sequence and complex epeirogenic history of the Placentian Series, as compared with the trilobite-bearing Branchian Series, suggest that most Early Cambrian time is represented by the subtrilobitic Lower Cambrian.

A biota associated with Matuyama reversed sediments from west-central Illinois - Miller, B. B.; Graham, R. W.; Morgan, A. V.; N. G. Miller; McCoy, W. D.; Palmer, D. F.; Smith, A. J.; Pilney, J. J. (Quaternary Research, 1994)
A fossil assemblage containing molluscs, mammals, insects, ostracodes, and plants has been recovered from a silt-filled depression near Lima, in west-central Illinois. The reversed remanent magnetic signature of the sediments and the temporal ranges of two mammals, Microtus paroperarius and Lasiopodomys deceitensis, constrain the age of the assemblage to between 730,000 and 830,000 yr B.P. The extent of isoleucine epimerization in the molluscan shell is consistent with this age interpretation. The fauna includes at least 43 taxa of beetles from 11 families, 35 nominal species of molluscs, and two genera of ostracodes. The mammals include two shrews, three rodents, and a rabbit. The plant macrofossils (no pollen recovered) include 25 species of seed plants and four kinds of terrestrial or wetland mosses. Most of the plant species identified still occur in the upper Midwest, although a few of the taxa are found mainly to the north of the site. The fauna is characterized by an almost total absence of true aquatic taxa. The association of both boreal and thermophilous faunal and floral elements suggest that summer temperatures were not greatly different from present ones, but cooler, moist areas must have been available to support the boreal elements. Local conditions were probably similar to those now found in northeastern Iowa, where rains blocks, fissures, and joints in carbonate bedrock serve as traps for debris accumulations, provide shade, and are kept cool and moist during the hot summer months by cold-air drainage and groundwater seepage. Summer mean temperature in these microhabitats was probably between 18 and 20°C, similar to temperatures that now occur near the northern hardwood spruce-fir transition in the eastern United States.

Facing up to budgetary challenges at the Biological Survey, New York State Museum - N. G. Miller (Curator, 1994)
Collection and research activities in biology at the New York State Museum (NYSM) are centered in the Biological Survey. Its operating funds are set by the governor, the state legislature, and the state education department. Additional funding is provided from grants and the New York State Museum Institute. Operating budgets and staff size between 1973 and 1994 were rather constant or rose somewhat during the first three-fourths of this period, then increased dramatically as a result of special appropriations by the legislature. In recent fiscal years, there were major cuts in the NYSM's operating budget, and the Biological and Geological Surveys were especially targeted for “downsizing.” The museum embarked on a campaign to have the proposed cuts more broadly assigned or the funding restored. The methods used included testimonials to legislators by survey clients and visits by museum staff to explain the benefits of the surveys. The Museum Visiting Committee and the Business and Industry Advisory Council were formed to further ensure support of the surveys. This advocacy emphasized the importance of a clear focus on actual and potential client needs in research and other programs of the surveys, constantly advertising what we do, and broadly-based collaborative projects that make good use of expertise existing in the state. The Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI) was created by legislation in 1993 and placed within the NYSM.

A study of the moss Splachnum pensylvanicum using scanning electron microscopy - N. G. Miller (Hikobia, 1994)
Fresh, liquid-preserved, air-dried, and critical-point dried materials of Splachnum pensylvanicum from New York State, U.S.A., examined by light and scanning electron microscopy, revealed the following. The plants are autoicous; the spores are minutely reticulate; the apophysis is translucent, yellow-green, and wider than the urn when fresh and green but more opaque when dry; the operculum is blunt and rounded when fresh but mamillate when dry; the inner surfaces of peristome teeth are papillose, while the sculpturing of the outer faces is in parallel sinuose rows; the spore sac seems to participate in spore presentation at the mouth of the urn; setae grow about three times in length during spore release; and polysety. Distinctions between this moss and Tetraplodon angustatus in the shape of the capsule and operculuin are clarified. In S. pensylvanicum the apophysis is wider than the urn when fresh but narrower when dry; in T. angustatus it is wider in fresh and dry plants. In S. pensylvanicum the operculum apex is broad and rounded when fresh (and similar to that of T. angustatus) but mamillate when dry. Vegetative leaves of S. pensylvanicum and S. ampullaceum, which are found at the base of the plants often among the rhizoids, are similar in shape and dentation but differ somewhat in areolation and in the degree of tapering toward the leaf base.

Flora of an Unusually Diverse Virgin and Old-growth Forest Area in the Southern Adirondacks of New York - R. S. Mitchell; Tucker, G. C. (Bulletin of the Torrey Botany Club, 1994)
A lowland, virgin white pine-hemlock stand and associated old-growth habitats were studied at Pack Forest Preserve, Warren County, NY. An area of 48.1 acres, interrupted only by nature trails, has white pines up to 58 inches in diameter, and supports 355 native plant species-an unexpectedly high number, considering its location in the climatically severe Adirondack Mountains. This minimally disturbed old-growth forest and its associated wetlands are not only diverse, but essentially weed-free, making them ideal for future ecological research, botanical teaching and monitoring activities.

Utricularia inflata Walt. (Lentibulariaceae), New to New York State - R. S. Mitchell; Maenza-Gmelch, T. E.; Barbour, J. G. (Bulletin of the Torrey Botany Club, 1994)
The large floating bladderwort (Utricularia inflata Walt.) is reported for the first time from New York State. Pertinent literature and the distribution, morphology and cytology of the species are discussed, comparing it with closely related U. radiata Small, a taxon with which it has been historically confused. Recent discovery of the large bladderwort in Massachusetts is noted, suggesting the possibility that its distribution range may be expanding northward.
