Health status in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic
Health status in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (CSFR) since 1950 is reviewed and compared with health status in Austria, West Germany (as was) and Sweden. CSFR performance in child health and communicable disease control has been good overall, although infant and child mortality declines have fallen behind those in Western European countries in recent years. Life expectancy at birth has stagnated and is now substantially lower than in Wes…

Preventing diarrhoea
Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) has become the cornerstone of most programmes of diarrhoea control, and is highly effective in preventing death from dehydration caused by acute watery episodes of diarrhoea. The effectiveness of ORT in reducing mortality from chronic or dysenteric diarrhoeas is believed to be low and, in addition, ORT can be expected to have little or no impact on diarrhoea morbidity rates. In view of this, ORT should be complement…

Ancient Agriculture in the Highland of Britain
The purpose of this paper is to give an account of the ancient agriculture of the British highland, by indicating the broad distribution of the remains and by describing some examples in detail. The paper is based for the most part on records compiled in recent years in the course of the routine field reconnaissance carried out by the Archaeology Division of the Ordnance Survey, during which work on ancient highland agriculture was directed and p…

Mons Craupius = Duncrub
When 0. G. S. Crawford investigated a length of bank and ditch in Kincladie Wood near Dunning, in Perthshire, he observed that 'the possibility that it might be a fragment of a Roman camp cannot be excluded' (1948, 59). Kincladie Wood is 2 km. from the hill at Duncrub, a locality that has been equated philologically with the early historical Dorsum Crup (Watson, 1926, 56). We are assured by philologists that Mons Craupius, too, can be added to th…

Dragonesque Fibulae
Since the publication of Mr. William Bulmer's paper in 1938 ( Antiq. Journ. xviii, 146 f.) several dragonesque fibulae have been found and others—mentioned, but not illustrated, in earlier publications—have been re-located. In figs. 2 to 8 below, the numbers given by Mr. Bulmer to the forty-six fibulae described in his paper are retained; of these, eight were not then illustrated (C5, 18 to 24). The nineteen fibulae additional to the original for…
A naval shore radar station in north-west Iceland
In 1941 the Admiralty decided to construct a radar station to overlook Denmark Strait off the north-west coast of Iceland. The site finally selected was on the top of the promontory between Aðalvik and Ísafjarðardjúp at approximately 1600 ft. (480 m.) above sea-level. A base camp was to be set up at Sæbol in Aðalvik for the maintenance of the station. There was no landward communication except with a few hamlets in the immediate neighbourhood. Su…

The Bay Islands, Gulf of Honduras
D URING the summer of 1939 I paid a visit to the Bay Islands, being joined by Mr. Derek Leaf for most of the time. Both local and European reasons cut the expedition short, but in the time available we were able to accomplish much, owing to aid from many quarters. The support of Lord Moyne, of the Royal Geographical Society, the University of Cambridge, the Faculty of Archaeology at Cambridge, and Trinity College, made the expedition possible, an…
