In the 19th century Keralan literature contrasts between the traditional approach and a modern way of writing, as well as the attempts to reconcile those two modes, were particularly visible. The group of Kodungallur (Kōṭuṅgallūr) poets acted against over-Sanskritization in Malayalam poetry, while in the nearby Travancore (Tiruvitāṅkūr) poets advocated Sanskrit and tried to emulate classical forms. A. R. Rajaraja Varma (1863–1918), being one of the leading figures of the Travancore progressive movement, combined traditional, modern and local forms and themes in his works. He mastered the usage of well-known elements of kāvya literature in the description of events of his time. One of the examples that joins all of these factors is Citranakṣatramālā, a short composition written by seventeen-year-old author in honour of his patron—Maharaja Visakham Tirunal (Viśākham Tirunāḷ Mahārāja) of Travancore. The analysis of selected passages of the work reveals Rajaraja Varma’s ability to implement pan-Indian form on local ground successfully.

The study was carried out from May 1988 to April 1993 in two types of tropical forests: the tropical evergreen and moist deciduous. The vertical distribution of birds and foliage abundance was recorded by visual observation in seven height classes, using the line transect method. The vertical distribution of 94 bird species was recorded in evergreen forest, and of 90 in moist deciduous forest. Bird species richness and the numbers of birds were highest in the stratum from 1 to 5 m in both the evergreen forests (57 species) and the moist deciduous forests (68 species). The species richness indices of birds in the two types of forest did not display such a clear relationship. Foliage abundance was high up to a height of 30 m in the evergreen forests, whereas in moist deciduous forests, foliage was abundant only up to 20 m. A significant positive correlation was obtained between foliage abundance and species richness and also between the numbers of birds in both types of forests. Significant correlation was also obtained between foliage abundance and the species diversity indices in the two types of vegetation.

Badania prowadzono w latach 1988-1993 w stanie Kerala (południowe Indie), w dwóch typach lasu tropikalnego: zawsze zielonym (EV) i wilgotnym liściastym (MD). Rozmieszczenie pionowe liczebności ptaków i obfitości listowia określano metodą transektową w 7 klasach wysokości (Tab. 1). Zebrano dane o 94 gatunkach w lesie EV i 90 gatunkach — w MD. W obu typach lasu bogactwo gatunkowe i liczebność ptaków były najwyższe w klasie wysokości 1-5 m (Fig. 1, Tab. 1), natomiast najniższe w warstwie najwyższej. Wskaźniki różnorodności wykazywały tę regularność w mniejszym stopniu (Tab. 1). W obu sezonach wegetacji (pora monsunowa i lato) obfitość ulistnienia zmniejszała się ze wzrostem wysokości (Fig. 2). Bogactwo gatunkowe i liczebność ptaków w obu lasach wykazały istotną pozytywną zależność od obfitości listowia, natomiast zależność ta nie uwidoczniła się we wskaźnikach różnorodności (Tab. 1). Wysoką różnorodność składu gatunkowego miała raczej średnia warstwa wysokości koron drzew.

The present study was undertaken to identify the superior cabbage genotype and to examine their physical yield performance among the four cultivated genotypes namely Namdhari Seeds 183, Namdhari Seeds 160, Namdhari Seeds 35 and Tropical Sun Plus, grown in plains and higher altitude of Kerala. Study revealed that significant differences were observed in yield levels of cabbage and it was ranged from 22.6 – 29.3 kg /16m2 in hills and 1.27 – 22.06 kg /16m2 in plains. Among the cabbage genotypes, NS 183 was found to be the best for hilly region in terms of higher head yield (22.06 Kg /16m2), head weight (729.6 g), head height (11.1 cm) and early maturity. Similarly, Tropical Sun Plus exhibited better performance in plains in terms of higher head yield (22.06 Kg /16m2), head weight (729.6 g) and head height (11.1 cm). The individual genotype which exhibited the superior performance in hills and plains were selected and compared for the general biochemical characters like Moisture content, acidity, ascorbic acid, protein, phosphorus, calcium and potassium. Finally, the study found that, the genotype grown at hill (Tropical Sun Plus) was recorded a higher biochemical characters than genotype grown in plains (Tropical Sun plus). Similarly, hill grown genotype (NS 183) recorded a higher biochemical characters than the plains grown genotype (NS 183).

The article concerns a hitherto little known Sanskrit text called Karikas of Yogiyar a medieval commentary to Baudhayanaśulvasutra (ca. 5th century BC). The text in question deals with the construction of the Vedic altars specific to the Keralan sacrificial tradition. It is attributed to the ascetic Yogiyar from the village Taikkat Mana (Edappal), who probably lived around 16th or 17th century. Karikas of Yogiyar are presumably the only known independent śulvasutra commentary in Sanskrit of the post-Vedic period.

Two species of parasitic nematodes, Heliconema ahiri Karve, 1941 (Physalopteridae) and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) anguillae Moravec et al., 2006 (Camallanidae), were recorded from the Indonesian shortfin eel Anguilla bicolor bicolor Mc-Clelland in the Chalakkudi River and Veli Lake, respectively, both Kerala, India. The former species (H. ahiri), rediscovered from eels in India after 82 years from its original description, has been redescribed and revalidated based on its specific feature (presence of groups of minute denticles in the mouth) distinguishing it from other congeners; its finding in A. b. bicolor represents a new host record. The latter species (P. anguillae) has been recorded in India for the first time. SEM examination of its first-stage larvae from uterus has shown that P. anguillae is another species of Procamallanus whose larvae possess a crown of digit-like processes at the tail tip.

The weight–length (W–L) relation was estimated for an endemic catfish, Horabagrus brachysoma (known also as Asian sun catfish, Günther’s catfish, Manjaletta, or Manjakoori). The fish were collected from the four major river systems of Kerala, part of the Western Ghats mountain range, between January 2005 and February 2006. The estimates for the parameter b of the W–L relation (W = aLb) ranged between 2.7623 and 3.17968. Linear regressions on log- transformed data were highly significant (P < 0.01) for the species in all the riverine habitats studied. Analysis of covariance revealed significant difference between sexes of H. brachysoma in the Chalakudy River for the slopes of the regression line.
