Ab: Mt. Misery is the youngest of the four main volcanic centres on St. Kitts. It is a typical strato-volcano with a relatively steep central cone, rising to 3,792 ft. above sea level flanked by a gently sloping piedmont. There is a well preserved summit crater with traces of a somma rim around it. Associated with the volcano are four volcanic domes and two small explosion craters. Pleistocene limestone has been uplifted on the sides of the youngest dome, Brimstone Hill. Among the more recent products of the volcano are the Mansion pyroclastics which consist chiefly of greenish-gray andesitic lapilli, andesitic pumice and basaltic cinders: a few basaltic lavas intervene locally in the pyroclastic sequence. Although the maximum thickness of the pyroclastics is now only about 50 ft. the original thickness probably exceeded 130 ft. on the western side of the island. Investigations of thickness, grain size distribution and sorting indicate that they are pyroclastic-fall deposits erupted from the summit crater of Mt. Misery and distributed under the influence of a prevailing easterly wind. A small group of volcanic dusts termed the Steel Dust Series lie above the Mansion Series but are restricted to the lower western slopes of Mt. Misery. Mudflow deposits, some more recent than the Steel Dust Series, are extensively distributed on the piedmont. Isolated reports of eruptions in 1692 and 1843 are unsubstantiated but mild fumarolic activity persists to the present time, mainly in the crater of Mt. Misery. The bulk of the Mt. Misery rocks are of andesitic composition; basalts constitute less than 30 percent of the total and dacites are apparently absent. Most of the rocks are porphyritic and calcic plagioclase is the dominant phenocryst. The commonest rock-type is a two-pyroxene andesite in which hypersthene is usually slightly more abundant than clinopyroxene. Of the coarse-grained blocks ejected from Mt. Misery, the most abundant type is a hornblende gabbro but anorthite bearing blocks similar to those described from St. Vincent are also found.

Ti: The geology of the Soufriere Volcanic Centre, St. Lucia.

So: In: Saunders, John B. ed. Transactions of the Fourth Caribbean Geological Conference. Arima, Caribbean Printers, 1968. 367-76.

Co: Fourth Caribbean Geological Conference; Port-of-Spain, 28, Mar. – 12, Apr. 1965.

Ab: The Soufriere region of St. Lucia is the site of a volcanic caldera of Pleistocene age. Pre-caldera activity in the region involved firstly the emission of basalt lava flows, and subsequently the growth of a group of andesitic strato volcanoes around a centre to the north-east of the ultimate caldera. From these strato volcanoes, andesite pyroclasts were erupted both vertically and as pyroclast flows (glowing avalanches), in a phase of progressively more violent activity ending with caldera subsidence. Since caldera subsidence, intermittent eruptions have occurred, forming fifteen domes and seven craters within the caldera, and emitting pyroclasts, mainly as pumice flows, to form thick deposits within the caldera and beyond the caldera rim. The basalts of the Soufriere region are characterised by the predominance of augite among the mafic minerals, and contain between 51 percent of silic. In the andesites, hypersthene is often the only mafic phenocryst mineral. In the dacites, amphibole and bilatite are the principal mafic phenocrysts, and are accompanied by 5 percent to 15 percent of quartz phenocrysts. The andesites and dacites, which chemically form a continuous series with silica contents ranging from 59 percent to 66 percent, are believed to have been generated mainly by the partial fusion of local crustal material.

Ab: The thesis reports on a geological survey of the island of Carriacou, Grenadines, with emphasis on the volcanic lavas and clastics. It was hoped that these lavas, particularly the basalts would account for the differences that exist between the volcanic rocks of St. Vincent and Grenada. The presence of interbedded fossiliferous sediments amongst the volcanics would also assist in determining the relative age of the lavas.

Ab: This report describes work carried out on plantation forestry between January and May 1971 as part of a forestry development and watershed management project. The geographical zones of Jamaica are described and their potential forthe production of timber in each considered. This review shows that much hardwood output already comes from private food forests wherever settlement occurs, that the limestone hills are not productive and would be difficult and uneconomic for Government to manage for the production of either hardwoods or softwoods unless a market for charcoal develops, and this is unlikely. The shale and conglomerate areas have the greatest potential for commerial softwood timber production if planted with pines but insufficient land is now controlled by Government for a large scale pine scheme. Consequently land acquisition will be essential.

Ti: Sediment production by diadema antillarum on a Barbados fringing reef.

Pub: s.l.; s.n.; 1971. 4.

Ab: The tropical sea urchin antillarum, ingests a large amount of carbonate. Approximately 43 of this carbonate is reworked sand, as identified in this section. The remainder is new sediment produced by the grazing of the echinoids on the substrate. Sediment production by the echinoids amounts to approximately 97 tonn/hectare/year, and is probably the major sediment producer on the Barbados reefs. Approximately 65 of this sediment is very fine sand to slit sized and is quickly winnowed out of the sediment. The remainder is fine to coarse sand and is probably the largest source of the sediment on the reef.

Ti: The volcanic geology of Jamaica.

So: Caribbean Geological Conference; 100-7, 1972.

Ab: Jamaican surface geology extends back to the Lower Cretaceous. Lavas and pyroclastic material were erupted throughout the Cretaceous and Eocene with a final occurrence in the Miocene. Much of this activity was submarine producing pillar lavas and waterlaid buffs. The bulk of the material is andesitic and dacitic, basic rocks being less common. The clastic sedimentary rocks of Jamaica consist largely of volcanic debris. The many conglomerates are composed almost entirely of lava fragments, while the extensive sandstone and shale formations are feldspathic, and contain small lava fragments. The Upper Cretaceous volcanism was restricted to the eastern half of the island and formed part of a volcanic belt separating the Antillean Geosyncline from the shallow shelf sea. The Eocene volcanism occurred only within the narrow Wagwater Trough between the Cretaceous shelf sea area and the rising Blue Mountains. There is a close correlation between the distribution of the ancient volcanic centres and the hydrothermal mineralisation.

Ab: This report is the first of a series of economic studies carried out on small hillside farmers. The study was carried out between April 1968 and March 1969 in the selected Lucea/Cabaritta Watershed Complex, an area of about 21,000 acres in the north-east of the island, considered representative of the hilly areas populated by small farmers. It comprised an agro economic survey based on a detailed questioning of 194 farmers making up a 10 percent stratified sample of all farms within the watershed complex. The study reports the results of the survey covering the existing pattern of land ownership and the present land use and related them to the cropping pattern, the physical conditions of the land and production of the chief crop, yams, and also briefly reviews the pattern and economics of animal husbandry, in the area. It deals with employment and unemployment or under-employment problems and farmers' incomes by size groups, and examines the availability of finance to farmers in the form of loans, subsidies, etc., and farm investment.

Th: Submitted to Johns Hopkins University presented for the degree Ph.D.

Ab: The Blue Mountains form the central massif of Eastern Jamaica. The physical environments on both slopes of the mountains are similar except for the seasonal distribution of rainfall. The southern side has a distinct wet and dry seasonal regime whereas the northern slopes experience a more uniform distribution. Comparison of a north slope stream (the Buff Bay) with a south slope stream (the Yallahs) shows distinct differences in channel form and stream behaviour. The seasonal Yallahs has a wide, shallow, flat-bottomed, braided channel with steep banks whereas the Buff Bay meanders in a deep, round-bottomed channel with sloping banks. Tributaries join the Buff Bay graded to the main stream, but unaccordant tributary junctions are found in the Yallahs. Similar differences are seen on a regional scale when one compares the North-flowing streams with the south-flowing streams in Eastern Jamaica. As the only gross environmental difference is the seasonal distribution of rainfall, the hypothesis that streams in an area of seasonal rainfall have a characteristic channel form and behaviour is accepted.

Pub: Rome; UNDP/FAO; 1974. 195.

Ab: The urban area of Kingston suffers from repeated water shortages during prolonged periods of drought and the St. Catherine area is a convenient source of water supply so that export of water from the basin is practiced. The possibility of further export from the basin to the Kingston area is currently under study as a possible alternative to more expensive schemes, but this depends on proof of availability of the required quantities of water. Uncontrolled development of the water resources in this area has resulted in deteriorating water quality caused by saline intrusion. Thus, full knowledge of the available water resources is required so that proper management can be assured. At present about 40-50 percent of the water used in the area is from underground sources, and this groundwater is expected to play a more dominant role in the future. The groundwater occurs either in alluvium or limestone aquifers, and an assessment of the availability of this water requires a knowledge of the lithology, geological structures and stratigraphy of these deposits. To provide this information, geological investigations were carried out over a two-year period.

Ab: This paper describes channel form and stream behaviour in a type of environment, that of seasonal tropics with periodic high-magnitude rainfall. The area chosen for study is the Blue Mountains, the central massif of Eastern Jamaica. Both slopes of the Blue Mountains display similar geology, relief, high annual rainfall, soils and land use, but the southern side has a wet and dry seasonal regime, whereas the northern slopes experience a uniform distribution. Comparison of a north slope stream (the Buff Bay) with a south slope stream (the Yallahs) shows distinct differences in channel form and stream behaviour. The Yallahs has a wide, shallow, flat-bottomed, braided channel with steep banks; whereas the Buff Bay meanders in a deep, round-bottomed channel with sloping banks. Tributaries graded to the main stream join the Buff Bay, but unaccordant tributary junctions are found in the Yallahs. Similar differences are seen on a regional scale when one compares the north-flowing streams with the south-flowing ones in Eastern Jamaica.

Ti: Coastline dynamics of Jamaica.

So: Journal of the Scientific Research Council of Jamaica; 4(2):1-20, 1976.

Ab: Jamaica has a wide variety of types of coastlines. Some of its beaches are as beautiful as any in the world. However, beaches of various types are found only about half of the coastline of the island. In most locations where there ae no beaches, the boundary between the land and the sea is a vertical wall where large waves break against rocky sea cliffs. There are a few spots, however, where the boundary is very gradual and quiet and mangroves cover the foreshore. These different types of coastlines often occur very close together. To understand why this occurs, one must understand the natural physical processes at work in the nearshore environment. This paper is intended as an introduction to this topic. The approach is descriptive in nature rather than quantitative and no attempt is made to cover the subject completely. The paper reflects a bias in that the author is much more familiar with certain areas of the coastline than with others.

Pub:s.l.; Association of Island Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean; 1976. 15.

Ab: An average of 3,000,000 gallons of primary treated sewage enters Kingston Harbour daily, in addition to brewing wastes and other water-borne pollutants. Together, these sources supply 40 times the natural nutrient level of the water in the harbour. Phytoplankton blooms are commonplace and in the inner harbour the oxygen level is normally only 50 of saturation. Changes in the benthic fauna have been studied since 1968. In that year there were 15 spp. in samples collected in the inner bay, and 96 of the specimens were the polychaete SPIOCHAETOPTERUS. In the outer bay in 1968 150 spp. were collected and the most abundant was VENERIS (8). By 1974 only 78 spp. were found in the outer bay and a single species accounted for 19 of the total. Bivalves were conspicuously lost, while nematodes were among invading taxa. Each year from 1968 to 1974 an "abiotic zone" advanced further from the inner reaches of the harbour toward

the mouth. CAPETELLA CAPITATA is useful as an indicator of high organic sediments. In 1968 it was found only in (inner) Hunt's Bay, but in October 1973 it had spread to the outer harbour where it was collected along with SPIOCHAETOPTERUS.

Ab: Recent mapping in the Sunning Hill Inlier has relealed a sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks with north westerly strike, similiar to that of the Blue Mountain Inlier. The sequence is at least 4km in thickness and the fauna indicates a Campanian-Mastrichtian age. A possible correlation with the stratigraphy of the Blue Mountain Inlier is suggested. The presence of Eocene Limestone of shallow water facies, immediately overlying the Inlier, indicate that there is a structural high at this time defined by syn-sedimentary faults. Additional geo-physical, physiographic and tectonic evidence suggest that the Sunning Hill area is a part of a north westerly trending structure that formed the eastern boundary of the Wagwater Trough.

Ab: A first order of descriptive characterization of the currents and hydrography of the south central insular shelf of Grand Bahama Island is made based on 17 months of observations. The observed currents consisted of three basic flows: (1) a primary, multiple day, W-SSW current which occurred over 50 percent of the time; (2) a secondary, multiple day E-NNE current which ocurred less than 20 percent of the time; and (3) periods of highly variable currents which fluctuated on a time scale of hours. The thermal character of the waters exhibited a typical tropical-subtropical northern hemisphere seasonal structure. The water column was generally well mixed except during the water-warming spring season when thermoclines would form. Salinity and dissolved oxygen values were found to be representative of tropical-subtropical western North Atlantic conditions. Both varied during the study but seldom showed any vertical structure.

Ab: Seismological and geological data which serve as an input to earthquake hazard determination in the eastern Caribbean are reviewed, and a simple method is presented by which the data may be converted into peak ground acceleration values and plotted either graphically as a function or recurrence probability and distance from active sources, or as iso-acceleration contours on maps. The extent of possible errors is assessed.

Ti: Flood regions in Jamaica.

Pub: s.l.; s.n.; 1978. 1.

Ab: This paper shows that flood potential regions in Jamaica can be derived from data on streamflow, rainfalll and drainage basin characteristics. The probability curves for each region may be used to estimate flood frequency in uncalibrated basins in the region or sections of streams that are hitherto ungauged. The relationship between the annual average one day flood flow and the nstantaneous annual maximum flood is good enough to enable estimates of the latter to be made when only the former is known.

Ab: This paper attempts to present some background information on Jamaica's watersheds and reviews briefly the problems associated with them. The paper

stresses the peculiar problems brought about by the cultivation of agriculture on marginal hilly lands, under improper or inadequate soil conservation measures, which as is to be expected, are resulting in serious soil losses throughout and extreme degrees of erosion, siltation and sedimentation problems.

Ti: The rainfall of Jamaica.

So: Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica; 18 5-27, 1979.

Co: Water Resources of Jamaica; Kingston, May 1977.

Ab: The role of rainfall as the sole input to the island's water resources and its high variability in time and space are discussed. Various methods have been used to examine long term rainfall records and some results obtained are as follows: The distribution with time is skewed and generally there are more years with lower normal than above normal rainfall. Also two sucessive years of below normal rainfall usually occur more frequently than two consecutive years of above normal rainfall. At several locations in the eastern and southern plains a trend for decreasing ainfall over the past two decades have been detected. The 1975-6 drought is the most severe since the very protracted drought of 1920-30 and the islands average rainfall for 1975-6 are lower than for those for 1967-8, when there was also a severe drought. The island's rainfall for 1976 is the lowest annual rainfall since 1924. The importance of the extremes of the rainfall is emphasized and the difficulties in predicting rainfall seasonally or for other long periods is noted. Finally an outline is given of the programme of rainfall enhanced by cloud seeding.
