The apicolabial shift in Nese

Nese is one of a dozen or so languages/dialects spoken in the south Santo—north Malakula area of Vanuatu that reflect original simple bilabials before nonround vowels as apicolabials. In some of these languages, the apicolabials subsequently became dentals/alveolars. Nese is unusual, however, in the inconsistency of its reflexes: the most frequent reflex of Proto-Oceanic *b in this environment is indeed the apicolabial stop b, but the most common reflex of *m is alveolar n, while with *p both apicolabial v and labiodental v occur with roughly equal frequency. This paper attempts to explain this variation, and also attempts to explain why *p behaved far less consistently across a range of languages in this area than did *b and *m

The Fecundity and Reproductive Season of \u3ci\u3eFundulus sciadicus\u3c/i\u3e in Nebraska (Actinopterygii: Fundulidae)

The reproductive season of Fundulus sciadicus in Nebraska was investigated using preserved materials. Ovarian eggs matured in late March or early April. By mid-July all adult females were spent. Females with enlarged eggs were in their second, third, and fourth seasons of life. Eggs were classified on the basis of their morphology and the presence or absence of oil droplets and yolk. Mature eggs ranged in size from 1.6 to 2.0 mm in diameter. The largest ovarian complement (mature eggs only) was 88. Evidence of reabsorption (large eggs that have collapsed and have only small amounts of yolk) was seen in fish collected in June, July, and August, and suggests that clutch size is smaller than the ovarian complement in this species

The Motion for New Trial and Its Constitutional Tension

Either the judge or the jury must decide facts and, to the extent that we take this responsibility, we lessen the jury function. Our duty to preserve this one of the Bill of Rights may be peculiarly difficult, for here it is our own power which we must restrain.
