of the canines of lions shows a bimodal distribution. Ewer's examination of sa- bertooth canines revealed no separation of sexes. The discussants concluded that until more is known of the many smaller felids, an understanding of mat- ing patterns in felids will largely be speculative. Propagation and management of cap- tive species is important to managers of zoos. R. Thonmpson (University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City Zoo) re- viewed reproductive success in captive cheetahs. Thompson's final consensus was that until zoos publish the condi- tions associated with unsuccessful breed- ing attempts, it is impossible to deter- mine what factors, if any, favor suLccess in captive propagation. Basing his models on extensive re- search with house cats, E. Colby (Dart- mouth Medical School) developed techniques that enable him to artifi- cially induce estrus in the bobcat. This has opened the door to achieving rc- production by totally artificial meth- ods. S. Seager (Oregon Medical School) reported on his counterpart research in collection and storage of semen. D. Shorey and Eaton (World Wildlife Safari) reported on the behavior and management of Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris) in the first seminatural habitat designed for this species. The unsoci- ability of tigers was reflected in their partitioning of space. Of significance to zoo management were the observa- tions of tigers daily eating grass, sug- gesting that zoo tigers may require grass on a regular basis. In the more confined condition of many conventional zoos, stress is often exhibited by pairs of unsociable species housed together in the same cages. Apparent anxiety often appears in fe- males about to give birth, resulting in obstruction of proper maternal care. In an attempt to solve these and re- lated problems, J. W. Foster (Woodland Park Zoo) conducted experiments using Psymod, a mild tranquilizer. His data are inconclusive, but it would appear that Psymod is grossly superior to other tranquilizers in that it does not interfere with feeding and drinking. The conference was sponsored by World Wildlife Safari, Winston, Ore- gon, and Institute for the Study and Conservation of Endangered Species, Athens, Georgia, and was held on 3 to 5 May 1973 in Winston, Oregon.

"Versatile" is the only way to describethe new Wenking Potentiostats. Both the newHigh Power Model (HP-72, 200W output) andStandard Model (ST-72, 75W output) providethe flexibility of higher output voltage (atmedium current) or higher output current (atmedium voltage) simply by adjusting a multi-pin connector at the back of the instrument.

Additional new Wenking instrumentsinclude three economical PCA-72 PotentialControl Amplifiers featuring 3 superimposinginputs and grounded output. The PCA's can beused in combination with auxiliary equipmentfor the most advanced potential controltechniques. There are also new laboratorymodels, "fast rise" and high voltage models,scan generators, double pulse controlgenerators, a current/voltage integrator anda precision voltmeter.

SCIENCE IN THENEWSPAPERThe newspaper is

the science journalfor most citizens.

While televisioncommands the largestaudience, the news-paper-in breadthand quantity-givesthe most substantialpublic exposure ofscientific researchand development.Through it, readerslearn of new develop-ments in science,current trends, formtheir attitudes, oftenmake their opinionsfelt. c-2

This unique publica-tion offers severalperspectives on hownewspapers carry onthe public communi-cation of science.Scienbe writers, com-munications re-searchers, and othersgive their perceptions

on the changingnature and problemsof science in thenewspaper: a re-porter's reaction tothe end of the spaceromance... .coveringthe science beat...anewspaper's potentialfor science education...an analysis of re-porting errors...asurprisingly kind viewof the science cover-age of the NationalEnquirer...and more.

"It is now a fact ofnewspaper responsi-bility that science isfar more than an in-tellectual exercise tobe interpreted for atiny faction of spe-cialized readers,"writes a science jour-nalist in this issue.How newspapers ful-fill that function, howwell they're doihg it,the problems betweenscience and its press,and current and futuredirections for sciencereporting is the themeof this special 32-page issue.
