家园 按PUFFINUS OCEANICUS搜索

没什么大了不起的发现,不过有个地方在括号里面写上了"sooty hoodwink", (Implications of Continental Drift to the Earth Sciences ... - jstor

www.jstor.org/stable/2412912

"new evidence [that] came in from an entirely unexpected quarter-the animal kingdom" (p. 1106): Puffinus oceanicus (the sooty hoodwink),. Glossostompodon.)

再搜索"sooty hoodwink"就有意思了,你可以看看下面这个。

第138页

Other major discoveries of recent years are treated in an anecdotal fashion, including the evidence for desiccation of the Mediterranean during the Miocene, and the identification of Minoan Crete as 'lost Atlantis', destroyed by the eruption of the island of Santorini. The serious theme of the book is further lightened by the humour the plate tectonics hypothesis

seems to have inspired among Earth Scientists, including the Plate tectonics version of the Nicene Creed. Also the unlikely tale of the migrations of the sooty hoodwink (Oceanites erraticus), which once flew a longitudinal course from the Antarctic Peninsula to Spitzbergen across the site of the future Atlantic but developed an increasingly zig-zag course as the Atlantic opened beneath it.

这是对下面这本书的评价。

Wyllie (P. J.). The way the Earth works: An introduction to the new Global Geology and its revolutionary development. New York and London (John Wiley & Sons), 1976. viii+z96 pp.,

I34 figs. Price: cloth s ($I5.9o), paper s ($8.oo).

鉴于这本书作于1976年,我们不妨说那两位中国学者并非独立的,第一次提出这个观点,而是在转介国外学者的观点。这观点能不能站住脚是另外一回事。

又,这本书似乎比较有名,有中文翻译。信息如下:

P.J.怀利著,张崇寿等译:《地球是怎样活动的》,地质出版社,北京,1980。(P.J.Wyllie,The Way the Earth Works,John Wiley & Sons,New York,1976.
