- Description: The zeid fishes of South Africa are revised; five species in four genera are described and illustrated. Paracyttopsis scutatus Gilchrist & von Bonde and Zen itea (Jordan & Fowler) are shown to be junior synonyms of Cyttopsis roseus (Lowe). Zeus japonicus Valenciennes and Zeus australis Richardson are considered synonyms of Zeus faber Linnaeus; there seems to be no basis for recognition of subspecies in this wide-ranging species. Zenopsis ocellatus (Storer) is placed in the synonymy of Zenopsis conchifer (Lowe). A key to the families of zeiform fishes is presented, and diagnosis for those families represented in South African waters are given. Keys to the South African species of Grammicolepididae, Oreosomatidae, and Zeidae are also included. The distributions of zeid fishes are discussed. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: State control over the labour market usually results in the creation of different categories of labour, each having partial and unequal access to that market. In the Third World, typically, justification for control arises from an over-supply of unskilled rural labour and a small demand for such labour in the wage economy. To reduce massive urban unemployment, the state attempts to control the process of rural-urban migration by, inter alia, manipulating the labour market. ^ In South Africa, the civilised labour policy of the Pact government and the highly sophisticated system of black influx control introduced after the Second World War are two examples of such state control. In these cases, racial categories of labour, having differential access to the labour market, were created. The policy of Coloured Labour Preference is another South African example which is of particular interest since it is applied solely to one region of the Republic. Since 1962, when it was administratively coordinated for the first time, this policy has been applied in the Western Cape, a region comprising the 68 magisterial districts situated south-west of Port Elizabeth, Kimberley and the Orange River. In this region, black work-seekers' access to the labour market is severely curtailed. A series of regulations, particular to the Western Cape, are applied with the object of restricting the number of blacks resident in the region; denying blacks permanent rights of sojourn in the region; restricting the scope of employment for blacks in the region; and favouring coloured above black work-seekers throughout the region. In short, the policy aims to replace black by coloured labour and thereby aims to reduce to a minimum the number of blacks in the region. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: This initial attempt to compile a register of the various and numerous organisations in Grahamstown has been undertaken by the Albany branch of the National Council of Women. It has been my pleasure as president to research and edit this work. 1 must stress that this is neither complete nor all-embracing, but it was decided to publish now in order that the information which has presently been assembled be reasonably up to date. Where details concerning a particular society or group are scant a space has been left for interested readers to insert independently any additional information they are able to secure. Should the general public wish this to be an annual publication the NCW will be prepared to undertake the work. With this in mind I shall be most grateful to receive the details of any groups which have been inadvertently omitted as well as changed information regarding those groups which have been included. I hope that Grahamstonians will enjoy perusing this list of so many different kinds of involvement. It would be interesting to know whether we hold some kind of record in this regard. We are a small community, but most interests are represented and there is something for practically everyone. It is hoped that newcomers to the city will make use of this directory to make contact with the sporting club, service group or social association that best suits their interests and inclinations. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Hexatrygonidae, a new family of stingrays (Myliobatiformes: Batoidea) from South Africa, with comments on the classification of Batoid fishes

- Description: A new species of stingray, Hexatrygon bickelli Heemstra and Smith, is described from a specimen washed up on a beach at Port Elizabeth on the south coast of South Africa. This new species differs from all other batoid fishes in having six gill arches and a peculiar hypertrophied snout that appears to be a well-developed electroreceptive organ, and in the configuration of its spiracles. Other characters that separate H. bickelli from previously known rays (myliobatiforms) are its small simple brain (other rays have a very large complex brain) and the absence of supraorbital crests on the cranium. In addition, all myliobatiforms are neritic (with none having been recorded below 200 m), and H. bickelli is.presumed to live in moderately deep water (400 to 1000 m). The classification of batoid fishes is reviewed, and Hexatrygon is placed in a new family and suborder of the Myliobatiformes. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
