Renuka lake, named after the Goddess Renuka ji, the mother of Lord Parashuram, is situated near Dadahu in Sirmour District of Himachal Pradesh. Since years, it has been receiving silt and debris from 22 nallas, which are all around the catchment of the lake, which is causing ecological deterioration, habitat degradation and eutrification, etc. The first author (LM) prepared an action plan during 1999-2000 for the Eco-restoration of the lake. A major thrust was given to check silt and debris going into lake along with water by carrying out Soil conservation and Bio-engineering works, construction of toe wall and filtration tank around the lake and chennalization of water to ensure that only clean water would enter the lake. Visual observations suggest that the rate of siltation has decreased and quality of water has improved as the migratory birds are visiting this lake since 1999-2000. The maximum number of birds i.e. 542 of 13 different species was recorded during 2003-2004. This is one of the indicatol's to show that habitat of this lake has improved.

Factors like slow and seasonal multiplication and infection with pathogens have constrained the use of conventional plant propagation methods, thus lead to development of new and novel methods of propagation like in vitro multiplication which ensures the production of virus and disease free elite planting material in large numbers. In the present work, in vitro regeneration protocol has been standardized for grape cv. Perlette which is conventionally propagated through hardwood cuttings. The highest explant establishment (86.66%) and lowest days (12.00) for explants establishment were obtained in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l kinetin. Best shoot proliferation (3.33 shoots/ culture) was obtained in MS medium fortified with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l kinetin. The media constituting MS + 1.0 mg/l NAA was best for ischolar_maining of in vitro raised shoots, yielding 73.33 per cent ischolar_maining with an average ischolar_main length of 4.43 cm. The most suitable potting media for in vitro raised plantlet hardening of grape cv. Perlette constituted sand (1part) soil (1part) FYM (1part) vermiculture (1part) which resulted in 73.33 per cent plantlet survival.Keywords

Molluscs dwelling on land belong to the class Gastropoda and those inhabiting in freshwater are represented by the classes Gastropoda and Bivalvia. About 24000 species of land molluscs and 7000 species of freshwater molluscs are known to science (Lydeard et al., 2004). In India, 1129 species of land molluscs (Ramakrishna et al., 2010) and 208 species of freshwater molluscs (Ramakrishna and Dey, 2007; Köhler & Glaubrecht, 2007; Reid et al., 2013) are so far reported.Full Text

The Uropygids, commonly referred as "Whip-scorpioris" are moderately sized, tough and striking predators. They are easily separated from scorpions by the presence of a deep constriction between the cephalothorax and abdomen, by the absence of pectines and presence of a long thin multi-segmented whip-like tail instead of a broadly segmented metasoma bearing a poison gland at the tip. These creatures are uncommon and inhabitants of damp places in forests and found under stone, bark, decomposing wood, leaf litter or debris. A few of them excavate burrows for protection of their young (Pocock, 1900).Full Text
