...For many years 1080 has been widely used due to its biodegradability, low cost, ease of use and effectiveness but in recent years its humaneness has come under questioning. (Sherley, 2007; Fisher et al, 2015). Both Sherley and Sharp and Saunders identify that toxicosis is typified by retching, manic running, central nervous dysfunction, convulsions, hyperexcitability and respiratory failure (2007; 2014). It is thought that the animal is capable of suffering during the early stages and even between convulsive episodes, though it is unlikely during central nervous dysfunction (Sherley, 2007; Sharp & Saunders, 2014). Analgesics, sedatives and anxiety reducing drugs have been added with 1080 baits to in an attempt to alleviate suffering during these stages (Sherley, 2007). PAPP is a newer toxicant available and is currently in its final stages of registration for use in Australia (ACTA, 2015). PAPP has two distinguishing features by comparison to 1080. Firstly, its toxicity is more selective, particularly to eutherian carnivores such as cats (Hetherington, Algar, Mills, & Bencini, 2007; Fisher et al, 2015). Secondly, it has an antidote which helps combat issues associated with non-target poisoning, particularly domestic dogs...

...A, THE BRITISH ACADEMY SOMERSET HISTORICAL ESSAYS SOMERSET HISTORICAL ESSAYS By J. Armitage Robinson, D.D, Fellow of the British Academy Dean of Wells 1921 London: Published for the British Academy By Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press Amen Corner, E.C. PRINTED IN ENGLAND AT THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS BY FREDERICK HALI, 76$ J 9 2/ PREFACE The writer of these pages makes no claim to be a historian, but he is concerned with the materials which go to the construction of true history. Occasionally he is led to revise the verdicts of historians on the ground of a renewed investigation of some isolated problem, or in the light of fuller information which has but lately become available. He hopes that he has done this with sufficient modesty. As a rule he has avoided direct controversy and has preferred a positive presentation of the revised position. He is well aware that when offered thus silently the corrections he desires to make are less likely to attract immediate attention than if he directly challenged fallacies which shelter under honoured names. But he writes from mere love of the subjects to which he has been drawn by the circumstances of his position and by local patriotism ; and he has experienced more than once the temporary blindness pro- duced by the dust of conflict. On the other hand he asks for criticism, ...
