Contribucion al estudio biotaxonomico de Thymus loscosii Willk. y Thymus fontqueri (Jalas) Molero & Rovira, stat. nov.

Después de estudiar comparativamente la morfología, corología, ecología, número cromosomático y aceite esencial de los táxones Thymus loscosii Willk. y Thymus loscosii Willk. subsp. fontqueri Jalas, se concluye, de forma razonada, que el status más adecuado para este último es el de especie, combinándose de nuevo cpmo Thymus fontqueri (Jalas) Molero & Rovira; también se propone su inclusión en la sección Serpyllum (Miller) Bentham. En el estudio del aceite esencial de ambos tomillos por CGL e IR se han identificado 14 de sus componentes, destacando el p-citral, mirceno, cineol y alcanfor como mayoritarios. El cromatograma que presentan es muy parecido, pudiéndose atribuir a un quimótipo común P-citral (y otro compuesto no identificado). Entre los componentes la oscilación es máxima para el mirceno, claramente predominante en el T. fontqueri.

Taxonomia del grupo Anthyllis henoniana Coss. (Leguminosae): A. lugabcana, nom. nov.

Con motivo de la síntesis de Anthyllis para Flora iberica ha sido necesario revisar la nomenclatura y la taxonomía del agregado de Anthyllis henoniana, en el que se han incluido las Anthyllis sufruticosas inermes con glomérulos pauciflorus (4-7 flores), hojas subdísticas y folíolos pulvinulados. En este grupo se han reunido dos especies (A. henoniana Coss. y A. subsimplex Pomel) descritas de las estepas desérticas argelinas, junto a otra (A. sericea Lag.) descrita de los matorrales pedregosocalcáreos de Albacete. Los tres nombres han recibido diversos tratamientos taxonómicos, desde ser considerados como coespecíficos (JAFRI & ELGADI, Fl. Lybia 86:114.1980), hasta como tres entidades específicas independientes [BATTANDIER in BATTANDIER & TRABUT, Fl. Algérie (Dicot.) 1:250. 1889), o como dos especies distintas (GREUTER and al., Med-Checklist4:6-7.1989].

Description of a rare isopod crustacean, Arcturella poorei sp. nov. (Isopoda: Valvifera: Arcturidae), from the Atlantic seaboard of Cadiz (Iberian Peninsula)

This paper describes a new species of arcturidean isopod, Arcturella poorei, from the Atlantic seaboard of Cadiz (Spain). A diagnosis and description of the species is presented, and a comparison with other species of the genus from the area.

Iowa Field Conference on "D"-Cracking: Nov. 20 & 21, 1967

During the summer of 1963 the Materials Department noted the three to four ·year old concrete pavement on I-80 in Cass County was showing extensive surface cracking adjacent to joints and cracks. An examination of the pavement and a few cores from the cracked areas was made by the I.S.H.C. Materials Department and later by David Stark of the P.C.A. Additional surveys were conducted on other concrete pavement made with coarse aggregate from similar rock from two different sources. Blue-line cracking was found on some primary pavement and the indications of incipient cracks were seen on I-29 in Pottawattamie County, north of Council Bluffs. A good "D"-crack pattern is now evident. Surveys were then made of the entire Interstate concrete pavement. No other sections of Interstate were "D"-cracking, although some sections showed joint discoloration. None of these pavements, including the discolored sections, contained "D"-crack associated aggregates. At the same time as the Interstate survey additional pavements and sources were checked. Some "D"-cracking was noticed on certain sections of primary pavement 5-10 years old, in the vicinity of Waterloo and Cedar Rapids. The "D"-cracked pavement was from three aggregate sources, the Newton, Otis, and Burton Ave. quarries. Other pavements in this area that were older or from· different· coarse aggregate sources were not "D"-cracked. We believe that all the "D"-cracking is related, although dedolomitization is probably involved in the intermediate dolomite rocks.
