《辽史·属国表》探析

《辽史·属国表》为元人新撰,元朝史臣将耶律俨《皇朝实录》、陈大任《辽史》与属国相关史文摘抄出来编排入表。其编纂受时限所迫,仓促撰成,又失于检核,因而存有遗漏、减省太过以致丧失原意、理解不当致误、列入无涉属国之事、系年不当诸问题。尽管如此,《属国表》仍有其独特的史料价值,保存的可信史料可补今本《辽史》、能够窥知今本《辽史》改动情形、推知耶律俨《皇朝实录》与陈大任《辽史》之别及其原貌。

A New Species of Homidia (Collembola: Entomobryidae) from Wenzhou, with a Key to the Homidia Species from Zhejiang Province

Homidia hexaseta sp. nov. is reported from Wuyanling National Nature Reserve, Zhejiang Province. This new species is characterized by colour pattern, 6 sutural macrochaeta on dorsal head, smooth seta L1 on labial base, seta p4＋ present on Th. II, seta a2 present on medial Abd. III, seta B6 as macrochaeta on Abd. IV, setae Ae5-7 present on Abd. IV and subapical tooth of mucro obviously larger than apical one. A key to the Homidia species from Zhejiang Province is also provided.

Two newly recorded species of the genus Epidamaeus(Oribatida:Damaeidae) from China

Epidamaeus variabilis Fujikawa ＆ Fujita, 1985 and Epidamaeus mongolicus Bayartogtokh, 2000 are reported, with redescription, for the first time in China.

First report of subgenus Phoenicopsis(Czekanowskiales)from Middle Jurassic of Ordos,China and its paleoclimatic implications

Subgenus Phoenicopsis （Phoenicopsis） assigned to Czekanowskiales is recognized and a new species, Phoenicopsis （Ph.） ordosensis sp. nov. is first reported fi＇om the Middle Jurassic Yan＇an Formation of the Ordos Basin, alternate based upon the leaf gross morphology and epidermal structures. The new species has linear leavs in bundles of five to six attached on a short shoot, more than 100 mm long by 5-6 mm wide, containing 10-12 parallel veins at upper portion. The leaf is hypostomatic. Epidermal cells are longitudinally arranged with smooth periclinal wall on the upper cuticle. The narrow non-stomatal zones and wide stomatal zones alternate in the lower cuticle. Stomata in four to five irregular spaced rows are longitudinally oriented in each stomatal zone. Guard cells for each are surrounded by four to five subsidiary cells with undeveloped papillae. Anticlinal wails of ordinal3, epidermal cells are nearly straight and periclinal walls slightly papillate. The new species shallow stomatal pits kept open and surrounded by unevenly undeveloped bulges. These characters are consistent with those of growth in a humid, rather than an arid climate. The presence of subgenus Phoenicopsis and other taxa of Czekanowskiales in the coal-bearing Yan＇an Formation supports the view that the climate in the Ordos Basin was humid and warm with seasonal changes during the Middle Jurassic.

Distribution and Accumulation Characteristics of Heavy Metals in Sediments in Southern Sea Area of Huludao City, China

The southern sea area of the Huludao City, Liaoning Province might be polluted by heavy metals because it is close to the Jinzhou Bay, one of the heaviest sea area polluted by heavy metals in China. The undisturbed modem sediment core can be used to analyze the accumulation and source of the pollutants using 137Cs and 21pbex. Thirty-five samples of surface sediment and two core sedi- ments were collected from the southern sea area of Huludao City. The concentrations of copper （Cu）, lead （Pb）, chrome （Cr）, zinc （Zn）, arsenic （As） and mercury （Hg） in the surface sediments as well as Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, 137Cs and 2~~pbex in the core sediments were deter- mined to research the spatial distribution and accumulation characteristics, and to analyze the sources and the potential risks of heavy metals. The results show that the pollution levels of Zn and Hg are serious, and 26 stations are at moderate or heavy ecological risks. The concentrations of the heavy metals increase from east to west, as well as from open sea to offshore marine area. The concentrations of heavy metals are not high in the sediments adjacent to the Jinzhou Bay, and the influence caused by the seawater exchange with the Jinzhou Bay is little. The concentrations of the heavy metals in the core sediments show low-high-low characteristic, and it coincides with the pollution history of Huludao City. The atmospheric deposition of heavy metals from the Huludao Zinc Plant is likely to be the main source of pollution without direct discharge of wastewater. The high concentrations of heavy metals appear on the upper sediment of 20 cm. The shallow sediment with high heavy metal contents might be exposed to surface when it was disturbed by the ocean engineering and big storm surge, then cause risk to the safety of aouaculture and human honlthy.

^(210)Pb Chronology and Trace Metal Geochemistry in the Intertidal Sediment of Qinjiang River Estuary, China

Historical records of metal inputs were studied by using a sediment core collected from a sand-rich mudflat in the Qinjiang River estuary, China. 210Pb chronology was used to reconstruct the fluxes of Hg, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr and As to the core site during the last 86 years. Based on the constant initial concentration model, the sedimentation rates are 1.18 cm year-1 in the top 30 cm sandy layer and 0.92 cm year-1 in the muddy bottom layer. To compensate for grain-size and mineralogy effects on metal concentra-tions, aluminum was used as the normalizing element. The enrichment factors (EF) indicate that the natural inputs had prevailed up to the early 1980s. After this period, the intensity of human activities has resulted in continual increasing trend of metals towards the surface. Recent sediment samples from the Qinjiang River estuary are found moderately enriched by Cd (EF>1.5) and slightly enriched by other metals (EF<1.5). Considering that the drainage area of the Qinjiang River is mostly agricultural land, the increased Cd may be due to the usage of fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural activities and the combustion of fossil fuels.
