The ultrastructural alterations occurring in the bronchial epithelium of Syrian golden hamsters treated once weekly for life with 0.63 mg BP were examined during the first 20 weeks of treatment. It was demonstrated that epithelial cells penetrated the basement membrane thus finally forming small bronchogenic tumours (adenomata) composed of ciliated, nonciliated and a few basal cells. No squamous metaplasis occurred.

In the course of the interpretation of an aero‐magnetic survey of Algeria, techniques based on spectral analysis were found to be quite useful in the determination of volcanic thicknesses and the resolution of underlying structural trends in a mineralized region near Silet. One‐dimensional analysis, applied to a series, of traverses crossing the area, indicates the average thickness of volcanics to be about 100 m. Two‐dimensional spectra were used to design appropriate filters for...
