Enderby Island Rabbits Rabbits were destroying the native vegetation at an alarming rate and playing havoc with the threaten Hooker sea lion's pup population. Rabbits were first introduced to Enderby Island, the northern most island of the Auckland Island chain by Captain James Ross of the HMS EREBUS and HMS TERROR expedition in November 1840. Today's Enderby Island rabbits are small at 3 to 3.5 lbs., fine in bone, narrow in body, eyes very bold, head is a perfect "V" laid on its side and the head appears quite small for the body. www.rarebitsandpieces.com /enderbyisland.htm   (2657 words)

78.04.02: History of Connecticut Through 1690 Hooker became the pastor of the congregation at Newtown (Cambridge), and Stone became the teacher of the congregation. In a relatively short period of time, Thomas Hooker and his congregation wished to remove themselves from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and settle in the rich lands of the Connecticut River Valley, not because of religious differences, but because living conditions were becoming cramped in the Boston area. The ice moved slowly southward over the hills and valleys; all of Connecticut was covered, and the edge of the ice reached as far south as Long Island. www.yale.edu /ynhti/curriculum/units/1978/4/78.04.02.x.html   (2657 words)

William Jackson Hooker - PlantExplorers.com™ Over the years Hooker was able to use his considerable charm and tact to expand the garden by acquiring many of the surrounding royal grounds, as well as initiate the construction of several glasshouses, including the famous Palm House, and organize the garden's beds in a more logical and scientific manner. William Jackson Hooker was born in Norwich, England and was educated at the local grammar school and later at Banks sponsored Hooker in an expedition to Iceland, all expenses paid, and even offered the young man his own largely unpublished notes from his own expedition in 1722, as almost all of Hooker's collections and notes had been destroyed in a shipboard fire from which he had barely escaped with his life. www.plantexplorers.com /explorers/biographies/hooker/william-jackson-hooker.htm   (585 words)

Joseph Dalton Hooker - PlantExplorers.com™ Although Cook had reported that the island was home to less than twenty species of plant, Joseph Hooker was able to identify and collect over 150 different species, including 18 flowering plants, 3 ferns, 35 mosses, and the rest lichens and seaweeds. Hooker made several excursions during the three months of their stay, but as much of the New Zealand flora he found was already catalogued, so his new discoveries were mostly limited to the mosses. It was here that Joseph made his first collections of the strange plants that Captain Ross had dubbed the 'Megaherbs'. www.plantexplorers.com /explorers/biographies/hooker/joseph-dalton-hooker-01.htm   (1970 words)

Botany - Goat Island Complex - Niagara Falls Hooker's celebration of the richness of the flora of Goat Island, as indicative of the richness of the eastern North American forest flora, seems to be the source of an idea repeated over and over again in a variety of diverse publications. Hooker then listed in his diary a number of botanical species that he, in the company of Dr. Gray, encountered on the island. It was Hooker, however, who attempted to substantiate this impression, if only for his own interest, by producing a catalogue of plants on Goat Island. www.mobot.org /plantscience/ResBot/flor/Bot_Goat/47_Hooke.htm   (832 words)

ricky_allen.htm When I met Ricky back in 1984 while doing research on a biography of the late guitar great Earl Hooker, he was living in suburban Blue Island; although he was eager to talk about his career, he didn't seem to be willing to give up his day job for the stage. Bobby Little had been knowing Earl Hooker a long time, 'cause he used to tell me about Earl all the time and I used to be very inquisitive about Hooker's music. He had another guy, he looked like me.

William Jackson Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His father, Joseph Hooker of Exeter, a member of the same family as the celebrated Richard Hooker, devoted much of his time to the study of German literature and the cultivation of curious plants. Sir William Jackson Hooker (July 6, 1785 - August 12, 1865) was an English botanist. A good memory, however, aided him to publish an account of the island, and of its inhabitants and flora (Tour in Iceland, 1809), privately circulated in 1811, and reprinted in 1813. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/William_Jackson_Hooker   (13944 words)

Chinese Botanicals> For Hooker and other western botanists, the samples that they desired could only be acquired at that time from the island of Formosa (Taiwan), off the southeast coast of China. Hooker was working with a J. Layton, consul at Amoy, in order to obtain a live specimen for study and comparison. Along with the samples of pith received by Hooker in 1850, a volume of drawings of Tetrapanax papyriferum were used to illustrate the plant in its natural habitat and the manner in which it is processed to make the paper. www.huh.harvard.edu /libraries/Tetrap_exhibit/ChineseBotanicals.html   (5753 words)
