- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 47 , Rabaulichthys stigmaticus is described as a new species of serranid fish of the subfamily Anthiinae from four male specimens collected in 35 m on a rubble bottom off Ari Aroll in the Republic of Maldives, it is distinct from the only other known species of the genus, R. altipinnis Allen from New Britain, in having a longer snout (6.7-7.1%SL, versus 5.5-6.4%SL), a higher dorsal fin in the adult male (30-39% SL), a large quadrangular dark spot on the side of the body above the anal fin, and an elongate black blotch in the soft portion of the dorsal fin. Specimens of a possible third species taken in a dredge at Condor Reef, Caroline Islands are discussed.

- Description: A bimodal suite of volcanic rocks builds the bulk of the Dominion Group which, with an age of ∼ 2.72 Ga, is the oldest cover sequence overlying the granite-greenstone Archaean basement of the Kaapvaal craton in the western Transvaal, South Africa. The basic lavas are relatively rich in SiO2 (50–58%) and aphyric and exhibit a large compositional range. This variation is typically tholeiitic in that it is characterized by strong enrichment of Ti, Fe, and V in differentiated lavas.
