Serranid fishes of Tanzania and Kenya

  • Authors: Morgans, J F C
  • Date: 1982
  • Subjects: Serranidae -- Tanzania , Serranidae -- Kenya , Marine fishes -- Tanzania , Marine fishes -- Kenya
  • Language: English
  • Type: Text
  • Identifier: vital:15003 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1019719 , ISSN 0073-4381 , Ichthyological Bulletin of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 46
  • Description: Forty-three species of serranid fishes from Tanzania and Kenya are described and distinguished. Notes on the food, gonad condition, internal parasites, changes with growth, underwater observations of live fish, habitat, and coloration of live or fresh specimens are given for most species. Synoptic synonymies are given for each species, but no attempt was made to resolve taxonomic problems that required examination of type-specimens. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

Significance of 87Sr/86Sr ratios in the Merensky cyclic unit of the Bushveld Complex

  • Authors: Kruger, Floris J , Marsh, Julian S
  • Date: 1982
  • Language: English
  • Type: text , article
  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/133524 , vital:36986 , https://doi.org/10.1038/298053a0
  • Description: In a number of mafic layered intrusions, layers with platinum group element (PGE) mineralization coincide with breaks in cumulus mineral composition and isotopic variation trends through the layered sequence1,2. For example, in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, abrupt increases in initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios occur at the UG-2 and Merensky pegmatoid (or ‘reef’) horizons, both of which are exploited for PGEs. We report here the results of a detailed Sr-isotope study across the Merensky unit and its immediate foot- and hangingwall-rocks which, when considered together with new ideas on processes operating in magma chambers3–5, suggest that magma mixing and post-cumulus infiltration of liquids displaced from below were important during crystallization of the Merensky pegmatoid.

Some development issues in Ciskei

  • Authors: Bekker, S B , Black, Philip A , Rouz, A D

  • Description: The territory known as Ciskei - an independent national state - and its de facto residents, known as Ciskeians, are the administrative, organisational and financial responsibility of the Ciskei government. As such, this government plans strategies aimed at promoting development for Ciskeians in its territory. Very broadly, 'development' is understood to mean the improvement of the life chances and living conditions of Ciskeians, and of poorer Ciskeians in particular (Ward, 1980). The Ciskei government, by its very nature, thus sees itself as intimately involved in the creation and implementation of a development strategy focussed on its territory. This paper has three interrelated aims. First, a demographic and socio-economic profile of Ciskei will be presented. This will be attempted by using such generally accepted indicators as trends in population, gross national product, unemployment rates, and per capita income. In addition, three types of classification will be introduced to sharpen this profile. Ciskeian resident communities will be grouped together, on the basis of their location and access to productive activities, into (i) urban communities, (ii) rural villages, and (iii) closer settlements. In the second place, cash- -earning workers will be grouped together, on the basis of their places of residence and of work, into (i) Ciskeian workers, (ii) frontier commuters (Riekert, 1979), and (iii) migrants. Finally, a distinction will be drawn between the income accruing to resident Ciskeian households (i) which is earned within Ciskei itself, and (ii) which is earned outside Ciskei. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Some human and structural constraints on rural development: the Amatola Basin, a Ciskeian case study

  • Authors: Bekker, S B , de Wet, Christopher J
  • Date: 1982
  • Subjects: Amatola River Watershed (South Africa) Agriculture -- South Africa -- Ciskei Land tenure -- South Africa -- Ciskei Middledrift (South Africa)

  • Description: A rural development project is currently under way in the Amatola Basin, Ciskei. This paper introduces the project and outlines the socio-economic and agricultural conditions current in the area. An overview of present project activities is included. It then attempts to identify a number of potential and actual human and structural constraints operating on the implementation of the project. Such constraints arise out of the existing agricultural system in the project area, as well as out of the state bureaucratic structures operating in Ciskei, and the agency implementing the project itself. One aim is to identify the units involved in dryland cultivation. This is done by tracing ties of cooperation between cultivating households in one Amatola village. It will be shown, in this village at least, that the household does not form the main unit of cultivation. A second aim of this paper is to show that checks on rural development in general should not be sought solely within the area under consideration, but derive to an important degree from outside sources. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
