1 Žigi na aretinski sigilati iz jezera Nemi, objavljeni v RCRF Acta 2 (1959) 5—12, so domnevno z obalnega pasu jezera, ki je bilo ok. leta 1930 izsušeno, in nimajo prav nobene zveze z ladjami in njihovo kronologijo. 2 Za aretinsko keramiko iz Londona, ki je večinoma objavljena v British Museum Catalogue o f Roman Pottery in v članku Osvalda in Prycea o zgodnjerimskem Londonu v Archaeologia 78 (1928) 73—110, in podobno keramiko iz raznih drugih najdišč v Britaniji (seveda ne vseh), manjkajo zanesljivi podatki o provenienci. Del te keramike — ali pa celo vsa — je lahko prišel v Anglijo preko prekupčevalcev s starinami, zato je treba biti skrajno previden pri postavljanju teorij, ki bazirajo na ustanovitvi Londona po Klavdijevi invaziji leta 43 n. e.

The efficacy of Jatropha curcas in the management of wood termites, (Macrotermes bellicosus) was carried out in the Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Resources Management. University of Calabar. The experiment consisted of 5 levels of J. curcas oil (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) and a corresponding quantity in powder, replicated 4 times and arranged in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD). Each concentration was tested on 20 unsexed adult wood termite placed in grave yard of 8cm x 8cm. Data on mortality rate was taken at 12 hourly up to 72 hours. The result from the experiment showed that J. curcas oil was significantly efficacious compared with J. curcas powder both in the field and in the laboratory. It was observed that there was progressive increase in mortality rate due to increased concentration and time duration. The management of termite using J. curcas should be encouraged due to its environmental friendliness and should also be incorporated into integrated pest management (IPM).
