Dimensional Models

The periods and responses of the free oscillations are calculated for one-dimensional models of Sydney Harbor. In particular, after Rayleigh's mouth correction is taken into account, it is evident that the prominent wave often recorded at North Sydney is the fundamental seiche. The seiche is induced by the passage of weather systems along the coast of Nova Scotia. Its response could be reduced by building a dam across the North West Arm.

On 23 July 1954, the new Canadian Icebreaking Patrol Vessel H.M.C.S. Labrador (6000 tons) left Halifax, Nova Scotia, on her maiden voyage in support of the annual ship supply mission to the Canadian Arctic bases. In addition she carried out much hydrographic surveying and other scientific work, and subsequently withdrew to the westward, arriving at Esquimalt, British Columbia, on 27 September, thus becoming the first warship to complete the North-west Passage.

The MacIntoshes were displaced from the Western Isles of Scotland by the Highland clearances at the end of the eighteenth century and like many of their compatriots moved to Nova Scotia. Around 1816 the Macintoshes were settled on a farm at Big Harbour Island on the Bras d’Or Lake of Cape Breton Island, that large detached part of Nova Scotia separated from the mainland by the narrow Straits of Canso - so narrow that they were frequently crossed by swimming deer. This part of Nova Scotia had a considerable resemblance to the old home in its landscape and its sea-tom ruggedness, which must have assuaged some of the pain of exile. Frank (who was always known as Hank) was born at Baddeck in Cape Breton on 24 December 1909, the son of the Reverend C.C. Macintosh, a well-known pastor of the United Church of Canada, who spoke and preached in Gaelic in the Canadian Maritimes and in New England. His mother Beenie Matheson, also of Scottish origin, came from Prince Edward Island. She had trained as a teacher and had moved to the north-west territories as a pioneer. As a child Hank frequently went visiting with his father in the horse and buggy. He was a precocious child and taught himself to read at the age of three - largely from the Encyclopedia Britannica - becoming especially interested in the geographical places described therein. At nine he was driving the family Model T. He was very proud of the fact that when he was just one year old, Alexander Graham Bell dandled him on his knee at his home in Beinn Bhreagh.

The Western Australia fauna of Bubocorophiina (Siphonoecetini) from the Albany area in the south to Port Hedland in the north-west, a coastal stretch of about 2000 km, is reported. One new genus and 11 new species are described: Rhinoecetes sinuduopopulus sp. nov., R. rockinghamia sp. nov., R. makritrichoma sp. nov., R. lowryi sp. nov., R. caetus sp. nov., R. karkharius sp. nov., R. wamus sp. nov., R. setosus sp. nov., Borneoecetes minimus sp. nov. (first record of Borneoecetes Barnard & Thomas, 1984 from Australia); Sinoecetes reni sp. nov. (first record of Sinoecetes Ren, 2012 from Australia), and Pararhinoecetes bicornis gen. et sp. nov. In addition, Cephaloecetes enigmaticus, previously described from the southeast coast of Australia, is recorded in the Albany area. A key to Western Australian Bubocorophiina is presented, and the distribution around Australian of the genera in the subtribe is commented upon.

Oreochromis mossambicus is currently receiving much attention as a candidater species for aquaculture programs within Southern Africa. This has stimulated interest in its breeding cycle as well as the morphological characteristics of the gonads. Limited information is available on SEM and TEM observations of the male gonads. It is known that the testis of O. mossambicus is a paired, intra-abdominal structure of the lobular type, although further details of its characteristics are not known. Current investigations have shown that spermatids reach full maturity some two months after the female becomes gravid. Throughout the year, the testes contain spermatids at various stages of development although spermiogenesis appears to be maximal during November when spawning occurs. This paper describes the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of the testes and spermatids.Specimens of this fish were collected at Syferkuil Dam, 8 km north- west of the University of the North over a twelve month period, sacrificed and the testes excised.
