    Notes: Aubrey de Grey's enthusiasm may or may not be infectious, but it is certainly palpable. And it adds a dimension to the discussion the priority that should be given to life-extension/anti-ageing research of which he seems to be unaware. For on the cusp of developments in emerging technologies we find ourselves button-holed by enthusiasts whose ``transhumanist" visions importunately press upon us the most radical understanding of their implications. My suspicion is that the transhumanist mini-insurgency is partly responsible for the general failure of the policy establishment to summon up the courage and vision to address the implications of emerging technologies at all. The insurgents' effort at ``branding" these technologies as transhumanist (like that of the Raelian flying-saucer cult, a decade ago, to claim cloning as their own) does no favors to the technology. The irony is that de Grey and his fellow-visionaries, far from generating consensus enthusiasm for emerging technology applications, are making them too hot to handle.

    Notes: Abstract Analyses were carried out for diatoms, spherical carbonaceous particles, and magnetic minerals on a short sediment core from a small cirque lake, Lake Nicholls, in the Mount Field National Park, south-west Tasmania. Catchment disturbance is not evident from the fairly constant sediment accumulation rates and magnetic analyses of the sediment record. However, there is evidence for a low level of atmospheric contamination during the industrial period, which reaches a maximum at the present time, but is less than in many areas of north-west Europe. Changes in the diatom assemblages recorded in the sediment core are likely to be related to factors, other than catchment change or atmospheric contamination, such as the response of within lake processes to climate change. Several diatom taxa found in the cores cannot presently be assigned to known species. Although some of these may later be identified following this preliminary study, it seems highly likely that freshwater lakes in south-west Tasmania contain a number of new and perhaps endemic taxa.
