The British organ and its music during the nineteenth century

  • Description: It is a curious fact that, although the literature of the organ is a reasonably large one, no attempt has been made to study the history of the instrument in Britain in any detail. Hopkins and Rimbault covered a certain amount of ground up to 1800, but even they could not deal very extensively with the subject in a volume that was tracing the history of the organ not only in Britain, but throughout Europe, and not only its history but its construction also. For similar reasons Dr. Sumner? (name unclear), in his recent book, could paint little more than an outline picture. However, the British organ's development prior to 1800 was one that does not admit of very discursive treatment. Progress was lamentably slow in comparison with that of Continental organs; and consequently the nineteenth century dawned with British organ-building literally hundreds of years behind that of France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. Yet, a century later, the position was redeemed, and even before the present era opened, the products of British organ-builders were not merely equal to, but, in general superior to those of the Continent in tonal design, mechanism, in artistic finish, and in ordinary maintenance and preservation. The nineteenth century, then, must clearly be regarded as a remarkable, indeed glorious, period in British organ-building, in fact one is tempted to enquire, whether there exists, in the entire artistic and scientific history of any country a similar example of accelerated development; in which one country has made up three hundred years' leeway in one third of that time. This thesis therefore, sets out to examine and describe the events of the century, and the men who were responsible for those events, to trace the growth of the organ in its various departments, and as the instrument itself is only a means to an end, to say something about the way in which it was used, the music that was played on it, and the men who played and composed this music. The thesis is divided into two volumes, the first deals entirely with the history of the instrument and its builders during the nineteenth century, with an introduction briefly recounting the story from the Restoration up to the year 1800; and the second volume is concerned with the music and the musicians as well as the several detailed indexes which are so necessary if a work of this kind is to be of any value at all. A full bibliography is given in Volume Two, but supreme acknowledgement must be paid here to the quarterly periodical "The Organ" - still thriving after an active career that began in July 1921. Its scholarly articles range over the whole field of international organ-building and organ-history, and without its help this thesis would have been far less comprehensive in its scope and far lesss authorative in its source-material.

The fishes of the Family Scorpaenidae; Part 1: The sub-family Scorpaeninae

  • Description: Within the order Scleroparei, characterised by the well-developed suborbital stay, many systematists pack the typical family Scorpaenidae with an enormous assemblage of fishes, which while showing certain fundamental relationships are so divergent as to render such an arrangement out of keeping with the generally accepted range of a systematic family group. While this large group will eventually doubtless be divided into numerous families of a lesser range, there is adopted here the fairly well defined cleavage into two main groups, based chiefly on the nature of the dorsal fin. These with the closely related families Synanciidae and Caracanthidae form a natural sub-group in the order. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

  • Description: Moderately compressed body with moderate to small cycloid or ctenoid scales, head partly scaly. 12-13 dorsal spines, usually elongate, separate, free from membrane. Anal usually with 3 spines, (rarely 2), the third longest. Pectoral elongate to very long, rays sometimes all simple, filamentous and free. In smallest stadia the pectoral is short, at first rapidly increases with growth, then shortens. The head with spines, variably single or multifid, spination usually increases with age, in some cases very markedly. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

The Labrid Fishes of the Subgenus Julis Cuvier, 1814 (In CORIS Lacepede, 1802), from South and East Africa

  • Description: Various subgenera have been proposed, among other features the absence of a canine in the angle of the mouth in the type species has been used to justify this, while the genus Julis Cuvier, 1814, generally assigned only sub-generic rank, covers a fairly well defined group with distinctly smaller scales. In this latter group the following Indo-Pacific species have been proposed: (1) gaimard Quoy & Gaimard, 1824, Hawaii. (2) greenovii Bennett, 1829, W. Pacific. (3) formosa Bennett, 1834, Ceylon.

The morphology of the Weberian apparatus of Labeo umbratus Smith

  • Description: In Labeo umbratus only the first three anterior vertebrae undergo any modification. These vertebrae are not completely anchylosed with each other and are closely associated with the four Weberian ossicles. Movement is however restricted between these vertebrae since this is essential for the efficient functioning of the Weberian ossicles. The first vertebra is well developed the absence of a spinous process and neural arch in the first vertebra may perhaps be explained by the findings of some workers who derive the claustrum from the former and the scaphium from the latter. A small muscle has its origin on the claustrum and its insertion in the angle formed by the dorsal and medial processes of the scaphium. A second muscle originates in the pit-like excavation of the first vertebra and is inserted on the ventral process of the scaphium. The intercalarium possesses horizontal, articular and ascending processes; a portion of the horizontal process being imbedded in the interossicular ligament. In Labeo umbratus it is unlikely that the intercalarium represents (if it does so at all) the entire neural arch of the second vertebra. From a morphological point of view it seems likely that the intercalarium may function as a lever. A transversely situated ductus endolymphaticus joins the two sacculi to each other. The sagitta, in the region of the ductus endolymphaticus has a long, lateral "wing-like" process which projects into the cavity of the sacculus. The sacculus anilagena are innervated by the n. saccularis and the n. lagenaris respectively. The ductus endolymphaticus is prolonged posteriorly into a median unpaired sinus endolymphaticus. Although the only serious objection to Weber's theory is the fact that there could be no differential action of the two ears, the basic idea seems valid. Sagemehl's theory cannot be accepted. It seems likely that the Weberian ossicles are necessary structures for audition and to the hydrostatia function of the air-bladder.
