读高敏先生新著《南北史掇琐》

李延寿的《南史》和《北史》，乃增删、抄撮有关南北朝时期的八部正史而成，然其增了哪些，删了哪些，所删之当否，所增之价值，皆治南北朝史者所不可不悉心探究的。高敏先生的《南北史掇琐》，即在这方面做了十分有意义的工作。高著将《南北史》对于八书的删削和增补处依卷次及行文之先后一一尽数列出，加以考辨，并列举异文，增补校勘，因而大有益于南北朝史的研究。

Marine geophysical investigation of the inshore coastal waters of Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has been subject to significant maritime influences throughout its 9000-year known human history. In 1997 the University of Ulster in partnership with the Environment and Heritage Service (DOE, NI) embarked on a programme of seabed mapping in an attempt to record the submerged and buried archaeological resource using a suite of geophysical equipment including a side-scan sonar, a Chirp sub-bottom profiler and a proton precession magnetometer. The geophysical research programme has successfully imaged 80 19th- and 20th-century wrecks, and 20 targets of further archaeological potential. These data will aid the production of wreck-prediction indices for the coastline of Northern Ireland based on site formation processes and site stability. This information will make valuable additions to both Sites and Monuments Records and to the shipwreck database currently under consideration at the University of Ulster.
