The effects of paraffin oil on phototropic and geotropic responses in avena coleoptiles
(University of Nairobi, 1966)Experiments are described which were designed to test the significance of the coleoptile tip as the site of reception of light stimulus leading to negative photo-tropic response under paraffin oil. The results show clearly ... -
The paleomagnetism of the Turkana lavas
(University of Nairobi, 1966-02)Directions of magnetizations obtained after cleaning the Miocene lavas from northwest Kenya are presented. The pole position thus obtained, together with similar data from eastern Africa, indicates that no significant ... -
Some Statistical Properties Of The Ground Diffraction Patterns Of Vertically Reflected Radio Waves
(University of Nairobi, 1966-02)This paper describes the results of a vertical incidence fading amplitude experiment vising an array of seven receiving aerials. The purpose of the experiment was to test certain assumptions in the correlation analysis of ... -
Age and Polarity of the Turkana Lavas, North-west Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1966-06)THE extension of the Trap Series of Ethiopia into north-west Kenya has previously been suggested on stratigraphical and petrological grounds1. This area has recently been mapped on the basis of a reconnaissance2, and the ... -
On sociology and behaviour in impala (aepyceros (melampus lichtenstein)
(University of Nairobi, 1966-08)1. The required habitat of impala, association with other herbivores and the relation to predators are outlined. 2. The commonest types of group formation - female herd with dominant male and bachelor herd - and the ... -
Restraint of undomesticated animals.
(University of Nairobi, 1966-10)The capture, by means of chemical immobilization, of about 100 large African animals of 17 different species was accomplished by use of compound M.99, an oripavine with morphine-like activity, but with approximately 1,000 ... -
Measurements of total electron content near the magnetic equator
(1966-11)The columnar electron content, nT, has been measured at Zaria for a 9-month period by the ‘close-spaced frequency’ method using the 40 and 41 Mc/s transmissions from the beacon satellite S-66 (BE-B). The ‘diurnal’ variation ... -
Nairobi National Park Game Census, 1966
(University of Nairobi, 1967)1. The monthly game counts of Nairobi National Park in 1966 are compared with those of 1961 to 1983 inclusive. It appears that the mean an-nual population of wild ungulates has remained constant at about 4000 animais after ... -
The breeding biology of equatorial vertebrates: reproduction in the fruit bat, Eidolon helvum, at latitude 0°20′N
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1967)The African fruit bat, Eidolon helvum Kerr, is known to occur only south of the Sahara where its distribution is localized. At 0°20′ N, this bat exhibits seasonal and synchronized breeding the rhythm of which appears to ... -

On the magnetic memory phenomenon in rocks and its bearing on palaeomagnetic measurements
(University of Nairobi, 1968)The results of recent extensive studies on the low field hysteresis in basalts from India and East Africa and the memory phenomenon observed in some of the rocks have been found to have a direct bearing on the various ... -

The interspecific relationships of Juncus effusus and J. conglomeratus in Britain
(University of Nairobi, 1968)Juncus effusus and J. conglomeratus appear to be specifically distinct in the British Isles; J. conglomeratus is the rarer species. Their principal diagnostic features are given. Evidence is presented to show that the ... -
