GLACIATION OF BONAVISTA PENINSULA, NORTHEAST NEWFOUNDLAND

Over Bonavista Peninsula, in northeast Newfoundland, ice-flow directional indicators reveal two styles of glaciation. The inner part was glaciated by ice of the Newfoundland Ice Cap, flowing northeast but drawn down strongly into deep channels in Bonavista and Trinity bays and basally deflected northward by a line of hills bisecting the peninsula. The outer peninsula was almost completely glaciated by the contiguous, dynamically independent Bonavista Ice Divide, with coastward flow. Near the northeast extremity a low plateau, mantled with blockfield and bearing no obvious traces of glaciation, is flanked by a subdued end moraine. The moraine is argued to represent the local entire Wisconsinan glaciation limit. Evidence from soil development on the moraine and elevations of emerged post-glacial shore features, as well as from comparison with glacial history in nearby areas, is used to argue a late Wisconsinan (pre-12,000–13,000 BP) age for the later part of glaciation. Evidence of widespread till deposition far offshore can be harmonized with evidence of incomplete Wisconsinan glaciation onshore by postulating persistent discharge of inland ice through the deep, compound fiord basins that flank Bonavista and other east Newfoundland peninsulas Les indicateurs du passage des glaciers dans la péninsule de Bonavista située au nord-est de Terre-Neuve signalent l'oeuvre de deux styles de glaciation. La Calotte Glaciaire de Terre-Neuve recouvrait tout I'intérieur de la Péninsule; se déplaçantvers le nord-est, elle était forcee de suivre par les baies profondes de Bonavista et de Trinité, et détournée à sa base en direction du nord par les collines qui franchissent la péninsule du nordau sud. Pour sa part, I'extérieur de la péninsule gisait entièrement sous le Diviseur Glaciaire Bonavista, qui tout en étant contigu obéissait à une dynamique indépendante et s'écoulait en direction des côtes. A I'extrémité nord-est de la pénin sule, sous un manteau de blocs rocheux, se trouve un bas plateau qui ne porte aucune trace de glaciation et qui est bordé d'une fine moraine terminale. Selon l'argument proposé, cette moraine représente en cet endroit la limite extrême des glaciers du Wisconsin. Des indices provenant de la formation des sols sur cette moraine et des hauteurs atteintes par la mer postglaciaire, de même qu'une comparaison avec l'histoire des glaciations dans les zones environnantes, permettent d'avancer que la fin de la dernière glaciation remonte à celle du Wisconsin (avant 12 000 à 13 000 ans AP). Des liens existent entre les dépots très répandus de till, loin au large des côtes, et les indices d'une glaciation incomplète durant le Wisconsin sur ces côtes, dans la mesure où l'on postule qu'il y eut une décharge soutenue de glace en provenance de l'intérieur, le long des fiords profonds et complexes qui bordent la peninsule de Bonavista de même que d'autres péninsules de Terre-Neuve.     

Caravan Parks and the AprWMay 1988 New South Wales Floods

Caravan parks are an important component of the tourist industry. They serve as the dormitory and the focal point for the immediate environs at places of interest. This paper investigates the characteristics and the occupancy of parks which were inundaled by water during the April/May floods of 1988 in New South Wales. It looks at the number of people at risk, and the appropriateness of caravan parks occupying land liable to flood. This form of accommodation offers people a great flexibility in their holidaying patterns but when long-term or permanent caravans are concentrated in parks on floodprone land they pose a number of problems. In addition to human elements such as personal property damage and social disruption, substantial disaster relief payments from public funds are required. It appears quite inappropriate 10 allow floodprone caravan parks to have sites occupied on a long-term basis.

INNER-CITY REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY IN MONTREAL: INSTITUTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DECLINE

Inner-city housing decline is reviewed in terms of neo-classical and Marxist theory. The latter is tested in two empirical studies. First, housing transactions in an inner-city district of Montreal are compared with the city as a whole for 1966-1974. Second, three contrasting sub-markets are compared with respect to mortgage arrangements and property tax for the years 1966 and 1974. It is concluded that Marxist theory provides a valuable interpretation of inner-city decline which is complementary to neo-classical analysis. However, the variables explored give only partial insight into the Marxist perspective.
Les raisons pour la détérioration du marché immobilier des quartiers populaires sont considérées des points de vue néo-classique et marxiste. La théorie marxiste est vérifiée en deux analyses empiriques. d'abordabord il y a un examen des transactions dans le secteur de l'habitation d'abordun quartier populaire de Montréal par rapport aux transactions dans le reste de la ville pendant les années 1966-1974. Deuxièmement, les hypothèques et la taxe foncière sont compareées dans trois sous-marchés en 1966 et en 1974. l'étude conclut que la théorie marxiste ajoute un aperçu complémentaire à l'analyse néoclassique dans l'explication du déclin des quartiers populaires. Toutefois les variables utilisées dans cette étude ne donnent qu'une connaissance partielle de la perspective marxiste.     

A CORINTHIAN RED-FIGURED CALYX-KRATER AND THE DOMBRENA PAINTER

Summary. An important red-figured calyx-krater, today in Boston, is examined in order to show that on grounds of fabric, style and iconography it was potted and painted not in Athens but in Corinth during the first quarter of the 4th century. Other vases in Athens, Corinth and Perachora are attributed to the same hand. Evidence in the Beazley Archive shows that Beazley was aware of some of these vases and had named the artist the Dombrena Painter.
