We do so by confining it to Classicism or any of the diciplines. Myths in Classical language are Roman or Greek stories of fanciful or bawdy content, with naive or picturesque religious significance. A myth is not a story. There are many who interpret and explain myth. The fantasy doctors are applauded by the fantasy consumers. Intro. p. 1.

- Description: In a famous paper of 1931, Gödel proved that any formalization of elementary Arithmetic is incomplete, in the sense that it contains statements which are neither provable nor disprovable. Some two years before this, Presburger proved that a mutilated system of Arithmetic, employing only addition but not multiplication, is complete. This essay is partly an exposition of a system such as Presburger's, and partly an attempt to gain insight into the source of the incompleteness of Arithmetic, by linking Presburger's result with Gödel's.

- Description: This dissertation consists in essence of an experiment and a commentary upon it. The text which constitutes Part II is a lexicographical experiment incorporating some features and treatments not usual in lexicography, and Part I consists of a discussion of the problems encountered, principles applied and procedures followed. Neither the matter nor the manner of the experiment, however, lends itself in the present state of our knowledge to the fully impersonal objectivity that is often claimed for the experiments in the physical sciences. At the same time every effort has been made to establish an unbiased record of the data and to maintain a certain methodological consistency. The main experimental feature of Part II is that it is an attempt to combine an orthodox, alphabetical dictionary with an experiential categorisation of the vocabulary, without repeating the entire data for each type of treatment. This has been done by means of a series of numbered, classified word-lists with a limited subject index as a guide to their use. The entries themselves, instead of being repeated in the order of their classification, are numbered according to the category or categories to which the word defined belongs. It can then, by means of its number(s), be found in its own lexical or experiential set (or sets) in the categorised section. This part of the work might be better described as lexicology rather than lexicography but does, I think, prove itself to be a useful adjunct to the A - Z lexicon proper. Apart from the detailed categorisation system the text contains three features not normally included in dictionaries of small compass: illustrative quotations, etymologies and a number of tentative parallels between South African and other varieties of English by means of cross-references to items of similar or related meaning or form in the English of Australia, Canada, the U.S.A., Hong Kong, Anglo-India and other 'overseas' English speech communities.

- Description: From Introduction: Collagenases are enzymes capable of specifically attacking the native collagen helix under non-denaturing conditions at physiological conditions of pH, temperature and salt concentration. They are active only on collagen or its breakdown products and are without effect on any other fibrous or globular protein. In the laboratory, collagenases are used in investigations of the biosynthesis of collagen and for structural and immunochemical studies of collagens and collagen-like proteins; also they are proving their worth as agents for facilitating tissue transplantation and for cell-dispersion in tissue cultures . Established clinical applications of collagenases include the treatment of burns and dermal lesions; in addition they are being evaluated as agents for the removal of undesirable tissues such as herniated intervertebral discs and the sloughs resulting from cryogenic or cauterizing procedures. Moreover, as human collagenases are implicated in various pathological disorders involving connective tissue degradation, the roles played by these collagenases are being investigated in the hope of finding ways to arrest, control or treat the diseases.

- Description: Tick borne diseases of livestock are among the most important factors which have retarded economic development in many parts of Africa. Modification of the environment due to the expansion of agriculture into previously undeveloped areas, together with the introduction of livestock, has disturbed the natural balance which existed between ticks and indigenous hosts. Many tick species have adapted to domestic stock, and in some instances have spread over large areas which were previously uninfested. A number of tick species which are parasitic on domestic stock, eg. Amblyomma hebraeum Koch, 1844, Boophilus decoloratus (Koch, 1844), Rhipicephalus evertsi Neumann, 1897 and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Netunann, 1901, are vectors of pathogenic micro-organisms. Unlike indigenous hosts however, domestic stock have no innate immunity to tickborne diseases. Intro., p. 1.

- Description: Tick borne diseases of livestock are among the most important factors which have retarded economic development in many parts of Africa. Modification of the environment due to the expansion of agriculture into previously undeveloped areas, together with the introduction of livestock, has disturbed the natural balance which existed between ticks and indigenous hosts. Many tick species have adapted to domestic stock, and in some instances have spread over large areas which were previously uninfested. A number of tick species which are parasitic on domestic stock, eg. Amblyomma hebraeum Koch, 1844, Boophilus decoloratus (Koch, 1844), Rhipicephalus evertsi Neumann, 1897 and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Netunann, 1901, are vectors of pathogenic micro-organisms. Unlike indigenous hosts however, domestic stock have no innate immunity to tickborne diseases. Intro., p. 1.

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 15 , A study of the eels which have been referred to Muraenesox McClelland clarifies taxonomic confusion in this group and shows it to contain three genera and seven species. M cinereus (Forsskål, 1775) occurs from the Red Sea across the Indian Ocean northwards to Japan . M. bagio (Hamilton, 1822) has a wider distribution from South Africa throughout the Indo-west Pacific north to Japan and south to Sydney. Congresox Gill is revived for C. talabon (Cuvier, 1829) and C. talabonoides (Bleeker, 1853) both of which occur in the central Indo-west Pacific. Cynoponticus Costa is represented by C. savanna (Bancroft, 1831) in the West Atlantic, C. ferox Costa, 1845 in the East Atlantic and Mediterranean and C. coniceps (Jordan and Gilbert, 1881) in the central East Pacific.
