Item A Contribution to the Ornithology of the East Side of Lake Tanganyika.(1943) Moreau, R.E.; IbisA description is be given of the more interesting features of a collection from ufipa and the kungwe-mahare highland areas on the east side of lake Tanganyika the forest avifauna proved to be of exceptional interest fourteen new forms being discovered on topographical grounds the kungwe –mahare avifauna would be expected to have rather stronger affinities with the highlands north of the malagarasi depression than with the ufipa highland on the south of the karema gap. But in fact northern affinities are so predominant on the kungwe as to indicate the karema gap as a major zoo geographical barrier. This agrees with the tendency of recent geological work to show that the karema gap represents a rift valley older than the Lake Tanganyika trough and running North West from rukwaItem Ecology and Zoogeography of Aquatic Hemiptera from l'emporary Pools in Central Africa(1965) Weir, J.S.; University College of Rhodesia NyasalandLittle information is available on the biology or ecology of African aquatic Hemiptera though these are abundant in many habitats. Some ecological information is given by HYNES (1955) (in East Africa) and HUTCHINSON (1929) (mainly in South Africa).Item White and Black Rhinoceros in Rhodesia(1967) Roth, H.H.; National Park and Wildlife Management RhodesiaThis account of the past and present status of both species of rhinoceros in Rhodesia was presented by the author, in his capacity as Assistant Director (Research) of National Parks and Wildlife Management in Rhodesia, to the Survival Service Commission of IUCN in 1965, and since brought up to date. Dr. Roth, who is now Wildlife Officer of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), describes how both species have been eliminated from large areas not only by human settlement but also by tsetse control operations, and shows the importance of modern techniques of translocation, both for saving threatened populations and reducing local over-populations.
