description: Variation in traits within a plant species contributes to differences in soil physicochemistry and rhizosphere microbial communities. However, how intraspecific variation in plant responses to nitrogen (N) shapes these communities remains unclear. We studied whether plant responses to organic and inorganic N forms vary among genotypes, and if these responses were associated with variation in root-associated communities. We investigated how the root microbiomes of two Pinus radiata D. Don genotypes were altered by two years of N-fertilisation in field conditions. We characterised rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities, as well as root-associated fungal communities, of trees receiving yearly additions of NH4NO3 or L-arginine, and control trees. We also measured plant traits and rhizosphere soil physicochemical properties. Two main findings emerged: (i) N form and tree genotype affected soil physicochemical properties as well as plant measures, and these responses were associated with variation in microbial communities, and (ii) rhizosphere and root-associated communities differed in their responses to N form and host genotype. Our results suggest that N forms have different influences on N and carbon dynamics at the plant-soil interface by inducing root-mediated responses that are associated with shifts in the root microbiome such that communities more closely associated with roots are more sensitive to genotype-specific responses.

description: Subfamily Leptictinae Gill, 1872
EMENDED DIAGNOSIS: Leptictids with large, distinct hypocones on P5 (vestigial or absent in nonleptictines). Anteroposteriorly more elongated P5 and upper molars with lower paracones, protocones, and metacones (taller cusps in nonleptictines). Upper molars with slightly more labially situated conules, absence of a twinned paraconule, and variably developed ectoflexi, but less deeply infolded than in nonleptictines. Upper molar parastylar spurs poorly developed. Elongated p5, with large, projecting paraconid. Skeletons (known in Leptictis dakotensis and Palaeictops matthewi) with distinct distal fusion of tibia and fibula, head of humerus semilunar with sharply defined medial border, head of femur strongly canted to long axis of shaft, and deep trochanteric fossa of femur.
INCLUDED TAXA: Blacktops Meehan and Martin, 2010; Leptictis Leidy, 1868; Megaleptictis Meehan and Martin, 2012; and Palaeictops Matthew, 1899.
DISTRIBUTION: Early Eocene (Wasatchian)–Late Oligocene (Whitneyan), North America.
REMARKS: Postcranial evidence offers compelling evidence for the monophyly of Leptictinae. Unfortunately, only two species in this group are represented by skeletal material. For the present, the dental features alone must serve to group all species of the subfamily.

Spatial Acoustic Vector Based Sound Field Reproduction
Creators: name: Zuo, Huanyu
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Spatial sound field reproduction aims to recreate an immersive sound field over a spatial region. The existing sound pressure based approaches to spatial sound field reproduction focus on the accurate approximation of original sound pressure over space, which ignores the perceptual accuracy of the reproduced sound field. The acoustic vectors of particle velocity and sound intensity appear to be closely linked with human perception of sound localization in literature. Therefore, in this thesis, we explore the spatial distributions of the acoustic vectors, and seek to develop algorithms to perceptually reproduce the original sound field over a continuous spatial region based on the vectors. A theory of spatial acoustic vectors is first developed, where the spatial distributions of particle velocity and sound intensity are derived from sound pressure. To extract the desired sound pressure from a mixed sound field environment, a 3D sound field separation technique is also formulated. Based on this theory, a series of reproduction techniques are proposed to improve the perceptual performance. The outcomes resulting from this theory are: (i) derivation of a particle velocity assisted 3D sound field reproduction technique which allows for non-uniform loudspeaker geometry with a limited number of loudspeakers, (ii) design of particle velocity based mixed-source sound field translation technique for binaural reproduction that can provide sound field translation with good perceptual experience over a large space, (iii) derivation of an intensity matching technique that can reproduce the desired sound field in a spherical region by controlling the sound intensity on the surface of the region, and (iv) two intensity based multizone sound field reproduction algorithms that can reproduce the desired sound field over multiple spatial zones. Finally, these techniques are evaluated by comparing to the conventional approaches through numerical simulations and real-world experiments.

description: Dynamics in bacterial community composition, along with 13 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and eight mobile genetic elements (MGEs), were assessed during co-composting with gentamicin and lovastatin fermentation residue (GFR and LFR, respectively). Using next generation sequencing, the key bacterial taxa associated with the different stages of composting were identified. Most importantly, Bacillus, belonging to Phylum Firmicutes, was associated with enhanced degradation of gentamicin, decomposition of organic matter (OM) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and also extension of the thermophilic phase of the composting cycle. During the course of composting, the patterns of different ARGs/MGEs varied. However, the total and the normalized (to bacterial numbers) copies both remained high. The abundance of various ARGs was related to bacterial abundance and community composition, and the changing pattern of individual ARGs was influenced by the selectivity of MGEs and bacteria.

description: The application and fate of antibiotics are closely related to human health and the ecological balance, which has gradually aroused the widespread global concerns. Long-term antibiotic residues can easily induce antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Although many studies have investigated the metabolic pathways of biosynthesis or degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC) and its influencing factors under laboratory or controlled conditions, the understanding of OTC degradation pathways and influencing factors in the environment is still poor. In the present study, the role of Pseudomonas(T4) in OTC biodegradation were investigated with different carbon sources, metal ions, substrate concentrations, temperatures, and pH values, as well as the temporal changes in the relative abundance of OTC ARGs. It was found that OTC could be degraded by T4 as a sole carbon source. Comparison with Cu2+, the addition of Fe3+could significantly promote the growth of T4, and then increased the OTC degradation percentage to 65.3%. The initial concentration of OTC, temperature, and pH had significant impacts on OTC degradation. At the initial OTC concentration of 50 mg L−1, the percentage degradation of OTC by T4 could reach 81.0% at the presence of Fe3+, and at 40 °C and pH = 7. Common tetracycline ARGs were not found during the OTC degradation by T4 in the present study. The eight main putative OTC degradation byproducts were identified by ultra-high definition accurate-mass quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (QTOF/MS). Six different reaction types and seven possible degradation pathways were proposed, including enol-ketone conversion, hydroxylation, dehydration, deamination, demethylation and decarbonylation. Under optimal conditions, the OTC degradation percentages by T4 could reach to 88.2%, 91.6% and 92.0% in pond water, fish wastewater and industrial wastewater, respectively. These results demonstrate the high effectiveness of T4 at the presence of Fe3+ for the enhanced biodegradation of OTC in water environment, without resulting in the occurrence of ARGs. This has important implications for the removal of OTC from aquatic environments by the technology proposed from this study.

description: Understanding the dynamics of veterinary antibiotic and related antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during swine manure composting is crucial in assessing the environmental risk of antibiotics, which could effectively reduce their impact in natural environments. This study investigated the dissipation of oxytetracycline (OTC), sulfamerazine (SM1) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) as well as the behaviour of their corresponding ARGs during swine manure composting. These antibiotics were added at two concentration levels and two different methods of addition (single/mixture). The results indicated that the removal efficiency of antibiotics by composting were ≥85%, except for the single-SM1 treatment. The tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) encoding ribosomal protection proteins (RPP) and efflux pump (EFP) and fluoroquinolone resistance genes (FRGs) could be effectively removed after 42 days. On the contrary, the TRGs encoding enzymatic inactivation (EI) and sulfonamide resistance genes (SRGs) were enriched up to 31-fold (sul 2 in single-low-SM1). Statistical analyses indicated that the behaviour of these class antibiotics and ARGs were controlled by microbial activity and significantly influenced by environmental factors (mainly C/N, moisture and pH) throughout the composting process.

Grappling with another other : Australian studies in Japan
Creators: name: Tada, Masayo
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2002

description: Australian studies in Japan provides an example of the dynamics of the construction of area knowledge. The definition and promotion of Australian studies has been shaped by specific Japanese needs, and Australian interests have been intertwined in the process. While individual practitioners' engagement has been framed within the context formed by Japanese and Australian states' concerns, their independent concerns as researchers and as educators have played a significant role in the construction of discourses of Australian studies. Through a case study of Australian studies in Japan as a network of representations of the area known as 'Australia', this thesis considers the meanings created when a specific country or region is represented in area studies education at a university level. The analysis of this thesis is interdisciplinary, deploying the methodological tools from history, cultural studies, and political science. Australian studies in Japan is investigated via textual analysis, using the related written texts and aural texts collected from interviews. The case study of Australian studies in Japan is synthesised with an analysis of the modem and contemporary cultural history of the respective countries and their bilateral relations in the changing international relations. The examination involves in depth investigation of institutions such as school textbooks, government agencies and universities. Integrating the discussion of knowledge/power relations and the questions of national identity in the contexts of Australia and Japan, the thesis examines a variety of approaches to area studies education. Comparisons of Australia and Japan are illuminating for the analysis of representations of the Other and the consequences of colonialism. Each country relates to the experiences and memories of both the colonised and the coloniser. Australia was colonised by Britain, and Japan colonised the neighbouring Asian countries. Indigenous peoples were colonised by the mainstream group within both countries. This thesis demonstrates the ways in which the two countries have common concerns with the question of national identity, vacillating between 'the West' and 'Asia' as totalised imaginary entities through their colonial and postcolonial experiences. This localised case study generates broader intellectual and educational issues, the relevance of which is not limited to Australia and Japan. It is also a study of the consequences of colonialism, the imaginary boundaries of world areas, the location of culture, and national identity in the context of globalisation. As a study of area studies practices at a university level, the thesis addresses issues concerning the internationalisation of higher education, and area studies education in relation to the internationalisation of curriculum in particular. This study itself demonstrates a possible form of area studies with an interdisciplinary approach that deals with trans-area issues.

description: Wetekia kia rere is an expression in the Māori language that refers to unleashing potential. This paper discusses questions of power relevant to challenges recently identified by government officials regarding learners’ experiences of science education in New Zealand schools. We begin by summarising the Treaty relationship (Treaty of Waitangi, considered to be the country’s founding document first signed in 1840) that informs the framing of New Zealand’s science curriculum guidelines. Next we outline some official New Zealand education strategies along with several policy guidelines relevant to the aspirations of Māori communities for a transformative science curriculum. This is followed by a discussion of how the historical processes of ecological imperialism, environmental racism and institutional racism have combined to attenuate Māori experiences of science education. A review of international literature is then presented to support calls for the development of place-conscious approaches to science education which validate Māori knowledge and learning contexts and Māori initiatives to seek eco-justice. Finally, a case study of a Pā Wānanga (Māori learning community) is provided to suggest potential solutions to some of the problems discussed previously.

description: Limited information is provided on the potential impacts of ingredients in consumer products to assist individuals to purchase household products. This study applied the choice experiment technique to examine the preferences of 385 New Zealand households on their purchasing choice of liquid soap for handwashing. Results from the choice experiment survey, conducted in December 2016 to March 2017, indicated that a typical respondent from the full sample would be willing to pay premium prices for a bottle of liquid soap that is certified to be environmentally friendly (NZ$3.20), hypo-allergenic (NZ$2.90), contains natural ingredients (NZ$2.10), and has antibacterial properties (NZ$1.40). However, by dividing the full sample into four latent classes, a typical respondent in one class would pay NZ$1.88 to avoid the antibacterial activity. This study highlights the importance of accounting for preference heterogeneity across latent classes or respondent sub-groups to better understand preferences and awareness of ingredients in liquid soaps, such as antibacterial chemicals, that can pose environmental and health risks.

HOLOTYPE: ROM 1676, right M1 (fig. 6B).
TYPE LOCALITY: Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Swift Current Creek Formation, Middle Eocene (Uintan NALMA).
DIAGNOSIS: Palaeictops borealis can be easily distinguished from other species of the genus by its size (larger than P. altimontis, P. bicuspis, P. bridgeri, P. multicuspis, and P. matthewi, but smaller than P. robustus). Like P. matthewi in having P5 with a more extensive precingulum in lingual region (less extensive precingulum present in P. altimontis and P. bicuspis). Differs from P. altimontis, P. bicuspis, and P. matthewi in having the upper molars with a more extensive precingulum in lingual region. Like P. altimontis and P. bridgeri in having the lower molars with lower trigonids (higher trigonids present in P. bicuspis, P. matthewi, and P. multicuspis).
DISTRIBUTION: Cypress Hills and Swift Current Creek Formations, Saskatchewan, Canada. Middle Eocene (Uintan–Duchesnean NALMAs).
REFERRED MATERIAL: RSM P1654.220, right DP5; RSM P1654.221–222, right P5; RSM P1654.226, right m1; ROM 23595, left m1; RSM P1654.225, right m2; ROM 1685, right m2; RSM P1654.223–224, left m1 or m2; Swift Current Creek Formation, Saskatchewan, Middle Eocene. RSM P1899.1472, right DP4; RSM P1899.1486, left M1 or M2; and P1899.1450, left m1 or m2; Cypress Hills Formation, Saskatchewan, Middle Eocene.
REMARKS: Russell (1965) could not assign with certainty the holotype of Palaeictops borealis to a specific locus (P5 or M1), but subsequently Storer (1984) considered the holotype to be an M1, an assignment with which we agree. Likewise, other teeth were not assigned to a specific locus by Russell (1965) and Storer (1984); ROM 1685, ROM 23595, and RSM P1654.223– 226 could not be assigned as either an m1 or m2. Based on our revision of all the Palaeictops material we were able to assign four of the six teeth to either m1 or m2 (see Referred Material), but we were not able to do this for RSM P1654.223 and RSM P1654.224 because of their poor preservation. We were not able to review the material from the Cypress Hill Formation (RSM P1899.1472, right DP4; RSM P1899.1486, left M1 or M2; and P1899.1450, left m1 or m2), but from the illustration it is clear that at least one specimen (RSM P1899.1450) belongs to P. borealis (Storer, 1995: fig. 1a).

description: JMTk is a memory management toolkit written in Java for the JikesRVM Java Virtual Machine. JMTk provides reusable components for the development of allocation and garbage collection algorithms, and an efficient implementation of a rapidly growing number of memory management schemes, and is a significant enabler for memory management research. A portable version of JMTk would allow the growing body of memory management research done using it to be repeated in different language environments, and to study the different performance characteristics of algorithms across programming languages without the variation in implementation techniques that clouds such issues today. This thesis describes a project that has ported JMTk for use in C/C++ based lan­ guage runtimes. The project has used the gcj ahead­of­time java compiler and a source transformation technique to produce a version of JMTk that can efficiently perform memory management for traditionally compiled systems. It is currently running in a testbed environment, where it provides interesting comparisons between accurate and conservative garbage collection techniques. The source transformation tool is currently in use by a team at Purdue, to integrate JMTk into the OVM Java Virtual machine. This thesis also describes partially completed work to incorporate JMTk into the runtime of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (ghc), and describes the difficulties that were encountered in the process, and an approach that should enable the work to be completed in the future. The thesis describes the architecture and construction of the ported system, the source code transformation process used, and evaluates the performance of the final product. It also explores possible future extensions of the techniques used, looks at the issues surrounding working with complex software such as the ghc runtime, and provides a brief evaluation of Java as a system programming language. The key contribution of this thesis is therefore the availability of JMTk to researchers and developers of language runtimes, and a convincing demonstration of the use of Java in a new application domain.

TYPE LOCALITY: Locality 6 (Misery Quarry) of McGrew (1959) in the vicinity of Tabernacle Butte, Wyoming. Upper Bridger Formation, Middle Eocene (Bridgerian NALMA).
DIAGNOSIS: Like Palaeictops altimontis (see diagnosis below) and unlike other species of the genus in having a p5 with a low paraconid bordered posteriorly by a distinctly opened, lingual prefossid, a shortened talonid, and a deeply excavated talonid basin opened lingually and bordered posteriorly by steep faces of the entoconid and hypoconid (fig. 7). Both the types of P. bridgeri and P. altimontis have slightly worn, but low trigonids on m1–m3. Differs from P. altimontis in larger size (length of m1–m 3 in P. bridgeri equals 11.23 mm, length in P. altimontis equals 9.18 mm.), and in having a p5 metaconid positioned more posteriorly relative to the protoconid and a more anteroposteriorly “opened” trigonid due to a more salient paraconid on m2. M2 possibly referable to P. bridgeri is more transverse with a shallower ectoflexus than M2 of P. altimontis.
a The dentition of this specimen is worn down, approximate measurements are given for size comparison with the other species.
DISTRIBUTION: Bridger Formation, Bridger Basin, western Wyoming, Middle Eocene (Bridgerian NALMA).
REFERRED MATERIAL: AMNH 9873, left M2, Main locality, Tabernacle Butte, Sublette Co., Wyoming. Upper Bridger Formation.
REMARKS: Palaeictops bridgeri was clearly described and illustrated by Simpson (1959) who first noted the distinctive characters of its lower, last premolar. The new Palaeictops altimontis species from the Tepee Trail locality (see below) is most similar to P. bridgeri, but the two species differ in size and in details of the lower dentition. Moreover, the possibility that a leptictid M2 (AMNH 98731) from Tabernacle Butte is referable to P. bridgeri provides further evidence for the distinction of this species from P. altimontis.

description: Iodine (I) is an essential trace element commonly deficient in agricultural systems. Whereas there is much information on I in food crops, there is a lacuna of knowledge on the environmental factors that affect pasture I concentrations. We aimed to identify the most important environmental factors affecting the concentration of I in New Zealand pastures, and the consequences to agricultural systems. Soil and pastoral samples were collected throughout the country and analyzed for I and other elements. The soils contained 1.1 to 86 mg I kg−1, with 0.005 to 1.4 mg kg−1 in the pasture. In 26% of pastures, I concentrations were insufficient for sheep nutrition, whereas 87% contained insufficient I for cattle nutrition. Pasture I concentrations were negatively correlated with the distance from the sea, and the concentration of oxalate-extractable amorphous Al, Fe, and Si oxides, which immobilize soil I. Soil organic C and clay increased I retention in soil but did not significantly affect pasture I concentrations. Future work should investigate how soil properties affect pasture I uptake in inland areas.
Conquest and change : Mongol herding in Xilingol, Inner Mongolia

description: I examine changing herding practices in Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, contrasting the perspectives of herders with those of local officials and scientists. I also carried out comparative fieldwork in a similar steppe environment in Mongolia. I present a model for research which involves exploring multiple perspectives, including different scales and domains. The model has broad applicability, but was designed in response to pressing problems involving human-environmental interactions. In 1992-1993, from the point of view of many Chinese scientists and policy makers, traditional Mongol herding in Inner Mongolia was in a state of crisis, with widespread land degradation and frequent, crippling natural disasters. Their response involved sweeping changes to what was perceived as an inefficient and unproductive herding system. Xilingol herders were facing an additional challenge with the end of communal herding. In Mongolia, herders were also adjusting to the .end of the collective era. However, political, social and historical factors had contributed to significantly different development agendas each side of the Chinese/Mongolian border. Like the officials and scientists, Xilingol herders recognised the impact of climatic extremes, environmental change, and the potential to increase their standard of living. However, their interpretations differed in several crucial ways. Notably, herders did not perceive the climate as a series of recurrent natural disasters, but rather as a variable, harsh, but well-understood part of their normal environment. From their point of view, traditional herding techniques allowed them to respond to this variability by exploiting environmental heterogeneity. In contrast, scientists either saw herder methods as 'backward', or assumed that traditional skills were no longer practised. I documented a high level of environmental knowledge among herders, involving identification and careful use of resources at different scales. This allowed them to provide for their stock during the normal seasonal cycle, and to respond to more extreme periods. Where their fundamental technique, movement of stock, was limited, herders were frustrated. They were no longer able to avoid the worst excesses of climatic extremes, nor move away from areas where heavy grazing was leading to environmental change. Inner Mongol herders blamed increasing local populations, associated with Han immigration, for the loss of land and restrictions on nomadism. Competing assessments of Mongol herding partly reflect divergent responses to variability. I explore the influence of scale on interpretations of heterogeneity and, more generally, argue for the importance of a critical awareness of scale.

Regulating Foreign Direct Investments in Resource-Dependent African Countries: The case of Chinese Investments in Zambia’s Copper Mining Sector

description: Several studies have examined the diverse social, economic and political impacts of Chinese investments on African countries. While some studies argue that Chinese investments has positively impacted on these countries, others claim that it has led to the weakening of local regulations and local industries. Throughout many aspects of this debate, scholars and commentators tend to consider African actors and agents as passive objects shaped by Chinese investments, often neglecting the subtle ways in which local actors and institutions interact with Chinese investments to both resist and shape various outcomes. This thesis addresses this oversight in the specific context of safety and environmental regulations of Chinese investments in Zambia’s copper mining sector. The thesis adopts a political economy approach, which contends that host country actors and institutions both resist and cooperate with foreign companies to shape investments practices. In particular, some local actors have responded to Foreign Direct investments (FDI) by re-vamping domestic institutions to counter more effectively the negative impact of FDI. I use this approach to examine how local actors have responded to events and practices involving two Chinese mining companies operating in Zambia. My analysis and findings draw on over six month’s field work in Zambia during which time I conducted 69 interviews, and extensive desk-based research. The thesis demonstrates that, at least partly due to pressure from local actors—unions, bureaucrats and elected government officials – both Chinese mining companies improved their regulatory standards: one being pressured to adopt substantial improvements in its safety regulations and practices, and the second compensating victims of pollution and installing emissions monitoring devices. In addition, the Zambian government increased funding to regulatory agencies and re-structured safety and environmental regulations in the mining sector. It also introduced new laws and measures that increased the power of mining regulatory officials and enabled local community members to take legal action against mining companies for compensation due to damages caused by the mines. While most analyses of the impact of FDI on Zambia focuses on State-Business relations, I look beyond this dyadic relationship to argue that diverse actors and factors have shaped and influenced regulatory processes and outcomes in subtle ways. Any comprehensive analysis of the impact of Chinese FDI on Zambia needs to factor in the roles played by these diverse actors.
The fifteen years' crisis, Iraq 1988-2003 : a study of foreign policy Elite norms as an analytical lens on decision-making
Creators: name: Nockles, Bruce Gerard

description: Explanations of the foreign policy behaviour of the United States in respect of Iraq in 2003 overwhelmingly centre on what Kenneth Waltz referred to as the ‘first image' level of analysis. According to this reasoning, the George W. Bush Administration exhibited unique qualities that, if absent, would have avoided war. This conceptualisation of the events of 2003, however, fails to acknowledge the incremental and consistent development of Iraq as a perceived threat to US interests over an extended period. This research produces a revisionist qualitative analysis of events and policy decisions leading to conflict between Iraq and the United States in 2003 by analysing the attitudes of the US foreign policy elite towards Iraq and the policy settings that ensued. The result is a fresh interpretation of the US-Iraq relationship from 1988 to 2003 - one viewed through the prism of the intersubjective normative beliefs of the US foreign policy elite as well as material US interests. In 1988, Iraq represented a valuable, if somewhat unpredictable, relationship for the pursuit of US interests. The chemical attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja forced the Reagan Administration to revise its approach. The George H.W. Bush Administration maintained the Reagan policy approach of conditional engagement with Iraq until the external shock of Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait - the event prompting a dramatic response from President Bush based largely on normative as well as material considerations. The Clinton Administration inherited an Iraq of limited sovereignty and effectively contained by sanctions and inspections; nevertheless, Saddam's recalcitrance and the collapse of international support for these measures resulted in US acceptance of the principle of regime change in Baghdad. Whereas the Clinton Administration avoided comprehensive action to secure Saddam’s removal from power, the terror attacks of September 2001 altered the weighting of the normative and material factors contributing to policy decisions regarding Iraq by the George W. Bush Administration. The research finds that the aggregate of the evolution of normative beliefs about the role, values and responsibilities of the United States in respect of Iraq, and two discrete arrangements of policy settings in this period - coercive disarmament of Iraq, and covert and overt duress on the Saddam Hussein regime - resulted in funnelled, pathdependent momentum toward invasion.

description: Palaeictops matthewi Novacek, 1977
Figure 8–10, table 1
HOLOTYPE: FMNH P26904 (fig. 8A–B), consisting of a damaged skull that retains P2–P5 (broken), M1–M2 (roots), and M3 (broken) on the left side; the right side retains roots of C– P1, P2 (broken), P4–P5, and M1–M3. Right ramus with c–p1 (broken), p2–p5, m1–m2 (broken), and root of i2 (fig. 9). Left ramus with c (broken), p1, p2 (broken), p4–p5, m1–m3 (broken), and root of i2 (fig. 10). Partial skeleton including lumbar and caudal vertebrae, pelvis, femur, tibia, carpals, tarsals, and phalanges.
TYPE LOCALITY: Exposure near top of Buzzard Pass, Mesa Co., Colorado. De Beque Formation, Rifle Member, Lower Eocene (Wasatchian NALMA).
DIAGNOSIS (modified from Novacek, 1977): Similar to Palaeictops multicuspis in having tall, trenchant p4 but differs from P. multicuspis in slightly smaller size and in having a more slender ramus; p2 with only one main, trenchant cusp and a basal posterior cuspule; p4 with anterior main cusp larger than posterior main cusp and a short transverse ridge on the posterior heel separated from the rest of the crown by a transverse trough (figs. 9, 10). P4 trenchant tooth, taller than P5 with a very prominent paracone, smaller metacone and low protocone (fig. 8B). Species has postcranial features used to diagnose Palaeictops (see above diagnosis).
DISTRIBUTION: De Beque and Huerfano formations, Colorado, Lower Eocene (Wasatchian NALMA).
REFERRED SPECIMENS: AMNH 17555, skull fragment, partial lower jaws and partial skeleton. Garcia Canon region, Colorado. Lower beds of Huerfano Formation.
REMARKS: Bown and Schankler (1982: 11–12) stated that Palaeictops matthewi is probably conspecific with P. multicuspis, because differences in size and p2 morphology are trivial. Synonymy is, however, unwarranted. The jaw proportions and p2 and p 4 in these species are clearly distinct as described in the diagnosis of each species (this paper). Bown and Schankler (1982) maintained that such characters might be insignificant and subject to intraspecific variation. There is, however, no sample evidence supporting this assessment and, in absence of data to the contrary, P. matthewi is here recognized as diagnosed above.
