# Barahona big-scaled sphaero

The Barahona big-scaled sphaero (Sphaerodactylus plummeri), also known commonly as the Barahona big-scaled geckolet, is a species of lizard in the family Sphaerodactylidae. The species, which is a very small gecko, is endemic to the Dominican Republic.

## Taxonomic history

Originally described as a species new to science in 1992 by herpetologists Richard Thomas and Blair Hedges, it is named after Nicholas Plummer who was one of the collectors of the holotype.

## Morphology

S. plummeri is a relatively small species of Sphaerodactylus that has very large, flattened, keeled dorsal scales. This character is diagnostic, and distinguishes this species from S. streptophorus, S. armstrongi and S. ariasae, all of which are closely related to S. plummeri, but have considerably smaller dorsal scales.
Dosal ground color is pale brownish to grayish, distinctly speckled with darker brown to black scales. These markings can be aligned forming fragmented dorsolateral stripes which are more defined in the scapular and sacral region. This species is sexually dichromatic, as males usually develop orange heads as they mature.

## Distribution and habitat

S. plummeri is endemic to the south-western portions of the Barahona peninsula. This species inhabits karstic, xeric scrublands at altitudes of 0–100 m (0–328 ft).

## Ecology

S. plummeri is a terrestrial species that has been found under piles of organic debris including the decaying rosettes of dead Agave, and under piles of dry palm fronds.
It is sympatric with other reptiles including another species of the same genus, S. thompsoni. Although they share the same habitat, niche segregation is especially evident in these two species, as S. plummeri is usually associated with decaying organic matter, while S. thompsoni is saxicolous and associated with the karst itself. Other reptiles and amphibians known to be sympatric with S. plummeri include: Leiocephalus barahonensis, Anolis brevirostris, A. olssoni, A. longitibialis, Pholidoscelis lineolatus, P. taeniurus, P. chrysolaemus, Celestus curtissi, Hypsirhynchus parvifrons, Uromacer frenatus and Eleutherodactylus alcoae.
S. plummeri is oviparous.

# Pulu Cocos Museum

Pulu Cocos Museum, also Home Island Visitor Centre & Museum, also Cocos Museum, is a tourism office, visitor centre and museum on Home Island in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

## Background

The museum was established in 1987, in recognition of the fact that the distinct culture of Home Island needed formal preservation. The site includes the displays on local culture and traditions, as well as the early history of the islands and their ownership by the Clunies-Ross family. The museum also includes displays on military and naval history, as well as local botanical and zoological items. In February 2021 the Shire of Cocos applied for a grant in order to adapt the Tokoh/Old Workshop on Home Island into a new museum and visitor centre.

## Collections

The collection includes objects relating to the Malay communities who were indentured labourers under the Clunies-Ross family. Military objects in the collection include firearms cannonballs and bows and arrows. There is also a small numismatic collection. Objects include traditional Malay costumes and examples of wayang kulit, which were used in performances by Nek Ichang, the island's dalang (puppeteer) until his death in 1949. Examples of the wayang kulit from the museum's collection featured on a set of Australian $1 and $2 stamps in 2018.
Objects relating to the cultural heritage of the islands are held in overseas collections: for example the American Numismatic Association holds a complete set of the island' plastic token currency.
# The Helmet (Oceanus Procellarum)

The Helmet is an informal term for a highland mass within southern Oceanus Procellarum on the near side of the Moon, southeast of the crater Herigonius. The astronauts of Apollo 16 used the term to refer to the feature during the mission. The name derives from the roughly semicircular shape of the border of the feature, resembling a helmet. The feature is topographically higher and of a higher albedo than the surrounding mare lava plain.
Two mountains within The Helmet are informally named Herigonius Eta (η) and Herigonius Pi (π). Eta is the larger mountain on the northern edge of the Helmet, and Pi is along the southwest edge.
The selenographic coordinates of this feature are 16.8° S, 31.6° W.

# Granite Lake (New Hampshire)

Granite Lake is a 233-acre (0.9 km$^2$) lake located in Cheshire County in southwestern New Hampshire, United States, in the towns of Nelson and Stoddard. The village of Munsonville, within the town of Nelson, is located at the outlet. The lake flows into a tributary of Otter Brook, which flows southwest to the Ashuelot River in Keene and thence to the Connecticut River. Granite Lake Dam regulates the lake's water level.

The lake is classified as a coldwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, lake trout, smallmouth bass, rock bass, chain pickerel, and horned pout.

# Arthur Edwardes Growse

Arthur Edwardes (also spelt Edwards) Growse was a medical doctor who served the district of Toodyay in Western Australia from 1856 to 1872, then again for a year during 1876 to 1877. Growse was the second medical officer to serve Toodyay.
Growse was born on 26 December 1831 into "an old Suffolk family". He trained at St Guy's Hospital in London before coming to Western Australia in the early 1850s. He worked as a doctor at Guildford around 1855-56, then in 1856 he was appointed to Toodyay where he took over from Alfred Green. Green had been dismissed following the death of a patient, after it was alleged that he was drunk at the time.
In 1858 Growse married Phoebe Henrietta Postlethwaite, a country governess. Phoebe came to Australia on Lady Grey in March 1843, and for a time had lived in Government House with Mrs Fitzgerald, the wife of Governor Charles Fitzgerald. The Growse's marriage was a fruitful one, with nine children being born to the couple, seven in Tooodyay and two in Williams, where Growse worked for a time before returning to Toodyay. It is this large brood of children that led to speculation about the building of the two-storey doctor's residence, known as "The Ship", when it became the property of the Sisters of Mercy.
Apart from the usual maladies suffered by his patients, Growse had to contend with the 1861 measles epidemic that took such a large toll amongst the Aborigines in the region. A recently arrived passenger ship in King George Sound in 1860 was believed to be source of the epidemic. It travelled northwards, causing the deaths of settlers and Aborigines alike. Twelve Aborigines had been brought to the Newcastle Depot infirmary for treatment. A hut had been built for the patients, but when one died the others refused to stay thinking the doctor's medicine was poison and the hut a death house.$^{:152}$
Growse was an active member of the community. In 1868 he was a signatory to the petition for the resumption of work on the town's reservoir. Drinkable water was a major issue during times of drought, especially when the main well at the depot was in danger of drying up. In 1871 Growse served for a short time as chairman of the first Toodyay Road Board. His chairmanship was short lived; he was transferred in 1872 to Guildford, then to Williams where he served as resident magistrate for a short time as well as being the district medical officer. He was replaced in Toodyay by William Mayhew.
In 1876 Growse returned to Newcastle (Toodyay) following Mayhew's appointment to Pinjarra, but Growse's tenure would be short. It appears he was falling on hard times, being declared a bankrupt in May 1877. He was a hard working doctor and in November of that year, after attending to two patients on a wet rainy night, he caught pneumonia and died.
An obituary in the Eastern Districts Chronicle refers to the "kindliness of heart and the assiduous manner in which he performed his duties", which "made him a general favourite".
He was buried in Toodyay's Nardie Cemetery.
