Physical: Mount Hadow and adjacent serrate peaks of the Slocan Ranges mark the upper- elevational southwest boundary of the reserve and provide a spectacular backdrop. Below the vertical headwalls of this peak is a prominent cirque basin containing an alpine glacier which feeds directly into a subalpine lake, the source of Lew Creek. Reserve boundaries

PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the claims of H.L. Geiger and A.R. Holyoak (1996) that adult dorid nudibranchs displayed a distinct shade preference during laboratory test runs, and then to analyse their conclusions. Ryan M. J.

Physical: The reserve lies in a shallow valley on the Interior Plateau. Lands around its northern end are very flat, while low hills rising to 1310 m flank the southern portion. Narcosli Lake, about 325 ha in area and 5 km long, is very shallow and divided by a narrows into two basins of approximately
