Cape Verde Islands

The genus Papaver consists of 80 species (Mabberley, 1997, p. 525), nearly all of which are Northern Hemisphere in occnrrence. One species occnrs in the Cape Verde Islands and another, the subject of this entry, is found in South Africa and is naturalized in Australia. Papaver aculeatum Thunb. (P gariepinun Burch, ex DC P. horridum DC) occurs widely in South Africa in areas characterized by summer rainfall and...

Pacific Ocean, ranging from the Philippines, the Ryuku and Bonin islands and south of Japan. There is also a string of precious red and pink coral beds northwest of Hawaii and off the Cape Verde islands in the Atlantic Ocean off west Africa. A submersible vessel, the Star II, operated by Maui Divers of Hawaii, Ltd., is used io harvest pink coral (CoraUium secundum) from the Makapuu bed. State regulations permit the collection of only 4400 pounds (1996 kilograms) within a 2-year period. 

In other parts of the world, a synthetic grass mat has been used to collect current-borne sediments enabling a protective mat of sand to accumulate. In Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands the natural seabed is composed of water-worn pebbles of volcanic rock. These are easy to handle underwater and a layer of 100 mm pebbles overlain with some well-chosen boulders protects the site from marine and human interference. The insertion of a short tail of orange cord serves as buried marker. It is discrete, moving gently in the current, and to the casual intruder is much like other marine growth and debris. 

The Cape Verde Islands show a pattern of He/ He and ° T b/ ° Pb variation that is similar to that of the Azores, although with slightly less radiogenic Pb (Christensen et al.

In order that this truth may be made manifest, I will here relate truthfully, and impartially, the information on the subject which I possess. To understand the matter it is necessary to bear in mind that the Admiral left San Lucar, on his third voyage, on the 30th of May 1498, and arrived at the Cape Verde Islands on the 27th of June.
