AbstractField observations during a journey through the arid regions of the South American Andes in June-July 1969 are evaluated in conjunction with available air photographs and reports from adjacent regions of the High Andes. Results indicate an increase of the Pleistocene snow-line depression in the western Cordillera from about 700 m at lat. 12° S. to more than 1 500 m at lat. 30° S. The Pleistocene snow-line depression decreases from the Pacific to the Atlantic side of the Andes, but particularly strongly so on the poleward fringe of the arid region. From this geomorphic evidence it is suggested that the atmospheric circulation during the glacial period was characterized by an Equatorward displacement of the boundary between tropical easterlies and temperate-latitude westerlies.

Phosphate Nitrate

The levels of some trace metals have been studied in Southampton Water. Particulate iron, though variable, is generally high and the concentration appears to be correlated with the amount of particulate matter. Zinc is approximately doubled in concentration inside Southampton Water, but much higher levels are occasionally encountered. Copper and nickel are only somewhat higher and total mercury is lower inside Southampton Water than in Solent waters. Zinc and copper are concentrated approximately 30000 times on a dry mass basis by Mercenaria mercenaria . Mercury is concentrated by Mercenaria and other bivalves; the mud which is especially rich in total mercury may represent an important source of mercury for these animals. Primary nutrients, phosphate, nitrate and ammonium, increase in concentration from seaward on proceeding up the estuεry. Surface waters appear to be especially rich in nitrate and ammonium. Gross pollution seems unlikely in view of low nitrite concentration and high oxygen values virtually throughout the estuary. The high rate of turnover of organic substrates by heterotrophic organisms may be associated with relatively large amounts of organic matter in Southampton Water. This has to some extent been confirmed by direct surveys of particulate and dissolved organic carbon which also suggest that regional differences exist. Higher levels of organic matter occur near the head of the estuary, near Marchwood, the Docks, and the mouth of the River Itchen. Although thermal changes in Southampton Water appear to have been slight, some increase in winter minimal temperatures and in summer maxima have occurred, especially in the Marchwood area. No evidence exists of deleterious effects on marine organisms. Phytoplankton can apparently endure rises of at least 10°C for short periods without injurious effects. The density of zooplankton has not decreased; possibly certain species (e. g. Elminius modestus ) have been favoured by thermal changes. A marked increase in Mercenaria mercenaria population may be associated with the small thermal rise and remarkably high population densities are encountered. Spawning appears to be correlated with summer temperatures exceeding 18 to 19°C.

WINCHESTER COLLEGE 41 This discrepancy is assumed to be an abatement off the contract price as in 1815 and two entries of 1s. 9 1/2d. have been adjusted to 1s. 91/4d. and 1s. 8d. per bu. respectively. The entry in the first year of the series shows the chal­ dron at this date to be equal to 32 bu. and in 1683 the entry 8 ch. 4 bu. at 1s. 2d. per bu. = £15 17s. 8d. probably involves a 32-bu. chaldron and includes a charge for car­ riage. Calculations involving chaldrons and bushels in 1675, 1681 and 1699 have therefore been based on a 32-bu. chaldron. In all other years during this period, and later, except for coal for the Sickhouse from 1795, purchases are recorded by the bushel. In 1766 288 bu. are stated to be equal to 8 ch. (i.e. the London chaldron of 36 bu.) and in 1791 also the chaldron works out at 36 bu. Chaldron prices for the Sickhouse from 1795, by comparison with other prices per bu., are clearly for 36 bu., and in three years the alternative price per bu. is given at 1/36 of the price per ch. Hence it seems clear that coal was at first sup­ plied by local measure, i.e. by the bushel of 9 gals. with therefore only 32 bu. to a chaldron, and later by London measure—probably from the date when contracts were made with local dealers obtaining coal via Southampton Water, re-shipped from London and therefore by London measure. In tabulating, the 32-bu. chaldron in early years has been accepted as comparable with the later 36–bu. chaldron ; bushel prices up to 1710 have been translated to the chaldron by 32 : 1 and from 1739 by 36 : 1, i.e. the bare London chaldron throughout. The bushel quota­ tions indicate small purchases at a time and it is not deemed appropriate to raise prices by 21 : 20 to the full-pay ch., i.e. to 1/20 of the London score of 21 ch. The annual purchase rose from an average 91/2 ch. at the beginning of the series to about 30 ch. by the end. In addition, the Sickhouse received 1 ch. each year in 1792–94 and generally 2 ch. annually thereafter. The purchase for the Library from 1806 was 36 bu. annually. The quality is never specified. 1394–1657. Gross 264, Net 220. 1714–38. Gross 25, Net 18. 1771–1816. Gross 46, Net 45. These prices are for free purchases until about 1524,
