- Description: [From the Introduction] 2011 saw the consolidation of a number of changes to Library services implemented in 2010 as a result of the 2009 Review of the Library Services Division. These include: 1) Collection development operating as a collaborative effort between Library staff and the academic community. The Collection Development Policy also underwent a major revision and was approved by Senate in October as the “Collection Development and Management Policy and Guidelines”. 2) The Faculty Liaison Service – the librarians in these teams are now proactively liaising with academics, for example, playing a crucial role in collection development for the departments, ensuring that they spend their information resources grants, creating awareness of appropriate online information resources and offering information literacy workshops.

With a grant from the South African Council of Churches (SACC), a pump was installed on the banks of the river and vegetables were grown under irrigation on 2,4 ha of land. This pilot project did not affect the leasing arrangements mentioned above. The project apparently enjoyed the approval and support of the local community, until the chief, Chief M.D. Feketha (an influential member of the Ciskeian cabinet at this time), came to hear of it and forbade the people of Newlands, who fall under his "tribal" jurisdiction, to participate in the project. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

The taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationship of Pseudocrenilabrus Fowler (Teleostei, Cichilidae)

- Description: Various and disparate opinions have been expressed with regard to the phylogenetic affinities of Pseudocrenilabrus, a seemingly generalized and primitive haplochromine genus. These views are reconsidered and rejected. Instead, it is suggested that Pseudocrenilabrus is a derived and paedomorphic taxon evolved from a generalized haplochromine ancestor such as would be represented amongst extant African cichlids by a species of the genus Astatotilapia; for the moment it is not possible to identify a sister group more precisely. The suggestion that Pseudocrenilabrus is a paedomorphic taxon is based on certain Osteological and dental features, particularly the reductional trend manifest in the infraorbital bones of its three constituent species. A new diagnosis and synonomy are provided for the genus, together with notes on its anatomy, osteology and meristic features. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

Instead, it is suggested that Pseudocrenilabrus is a derived and paedomorphic taxon evolved from a generalized haplochromine ancestor such as would be represented amongst extant African cichlids by a species of the genus Astatotilapia; for the moment it is not possible to identify a sister group more precisely. The suggestion that Pseudocrenilabrus is a paedomorphic taxon is based on certain Osteological and dental features, particularly the reductional trend manifest in the infraorbital bones of its three constituent species. A new diagnosis and synonomy are provided for the genus, together with notes on its anatomy, osteology and meristic features. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
