    Notes:
    We have measured the cooling capacity of a recently purchased RMC-Cryosystems Model LTS 4.5-025 closed-cycle He refrigerator over the range 4–35 K. We find that the nominal cooling capacity of 250 mW is only met or exceeded over a narrow temperature range around 4.3±0.5 K, and that above this range, there exists a considerable region of much lower cooling capacity, not exceeding ∼100 mW. We believe this behavior results from use of a fixed-aperture Joule–Thompson expansion valve, and might be alleviated if the J–T valve could be adjusted to compensate for changing flow within the 5–20 K temperature range. Present performance may severely limit or prevent effective use in applications where an irreducible heat inflow exists which is greater than ∼100 mW, yet substantially less than the quoted capacity at ∼4 K.

    Summary The diets of three major groups of frugivores-folivores of an African rain forest (squirrels, ruminants, primates) are compared and the relationship of food habits to body weight, habitat and foraging height examined. A number of common trends in the trophic patterns are found in the three groups. Over half of the fruit species identified in the diets of any one taxon are exploited in common with one or more of the others. The parts of fruit usually eaten are different for each group but for a number of species, the same fruit parts are searched for by the species of the three taxa.

    Summary Interactions between a large community of vertebrate frugivore-granivores (including 7 species of large canopy birds, 19 species of rodents, 7 species of ruminants, and 6 species of monkeys), and 122 fruit species they consume, were studied for a year in a tropical rainforest in Gabon. The results show how morphological characters of fruits are involved in the choice and partitioning of the available fruit spectrum among consumer taxa. Despite an outstanding lack of specificity between fruit and consumer species, consideration of simple morphological traits of fruits reveals broad character syndromes associated with different consumer taxa. Competition between distantly related taxa that feed at the same height is far more important than has been previously supposed. The results also suggest how fruit characters could have evolved under consumer pressure as a result of consumer roles as dispersers or seed predators. Our analyses of dispersal syndromes show that fruit species partitioning occurs more between mammal taxa than between mammals and birds. There is thus a bird-monkey syndrome and a ruminant-rodent-elephant syndrome. The bird-monkey syndrome includes fruit species on which there is no pre-dispersal seed predation. These fruits (berries and drupes) are brightly colored, have a succulent pulp or arillate seeds, and no protective seed cover. The ruminant-rodent-elephant syndrome includes species for which there is pre-dispersal predation. These fruits (all drupes) are large, dull-colored, and have a dry fibrous flesh and well-protected seeds.

    Abstract We present a quasi-continuous record of measured atmospheric opacity obtained at 278 GHz (1.1 mm wavelength) from McMurdo Station, Antarctica during austral spring seasons in 1986 and 1987. McMurdo Station, at 78°S, 166°W, is easier to access than the Amundsen-Scott (South Pole) Station, although representing a warmer, sea level site with substantially higher typical opacity: the present record may be of interest to those contemplating mm-wave astronomical or atmospheric observations within the Antarctic region. Observations were made over a 256 MHz bandpass in 1986, during the period August 30 to October 30. In 1987, a 512 MHz bandpass was used, and observations were made during the period September 4 to October 13. All data are reduced to represent opacity in the zenith direction, and measurements were taken approximately every 20 minutes, except during storms or other periods of high opacity. The periods covered represent transitions from the polar winter towards summer conditions, and thus represent neither the best nor the worst that this site has to offer.
