Agathidinae is a large subfamily of braconid wasps that are koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae. Although the group is relatively well studied in the northern hemisphere, the Australian fauna is poorly known, with only 36 species recorded from the continent. This study presents a synopsis of the genera and species that occur in Australia, including a key to genera, information on their distribution and apparent species richness, and a list of species according to the latest generic concepts. Ten genera occur in Australia: Amputostypos Sharkey, Baeognatha Kokujev, Biroia Szépligeti, Braunsia Kriechbaumer, Coccygidium Saussure, Cremnops Foerster, Disophrys Foerster, Euagathis Szépligeti, Lytopylus Foerster and Therophilus Wesmael, with Lytopylus known only from a single introduced species. Baeognatha stat. rev. is taken out of synonymy with Therophilus and two genera are synonymised: Platyagathis Turner with Disophrys (syn. nov.) and Camptothlipsis with Baeognatha (syn. nov.). The genera Agathis Latreille and Bassus Fabricius are excluded from the Australian fauna, as the species described under these genera are here transferred to Therophilus, and no other species of either genus have been discovered from the continent. Further, the genera Baeognatha and Coccygidium are recorded from Australia for the first time, although not represented by any described species. The following new combinations are proposed: Amputostypos dilutum (Turner), comb. nov. (from Hypsostypos), A. exornatum (Turner), comb. nov. (from Hypsostypos), Disophrys leaena (Turner), comb. nov. (from Platyagathis), Lytopylus rufipes (Nees von Esenbeck) comb. nov. (from Bassus), Therophilus antipodus (Ashmead) comb. nov. (from Orgiloneura), T. festinatus (Turner), comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. latibalteatus (Cameron) comb. nov. (from Agathis), T. leucogaster (Holmgren) comb. nov. (from Agathis), T. malignus (Turner). comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. martialis (Turner) comb. nov. (from Agathis), T. meridionalis (Turner comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. minimus (Turner) comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. minor (Szépligeti) comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. pedunculatus (Szépligeti) comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. ruficeps (Szépligeti). comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. rufithorax (Turner) comb. nov. (from Agathis), T. rufobrunneus (Turner) comb. nov. (from Agathis), T. rugosus (Turner) comb. nov. (from Bassus), T. tricolor (Szépligeti) comb nov. (from Bassus), and T. xanthopsis (Turner) comb. nov. (from Agathis). In addition, Bassus tenuissimus (Turner) is synonomised with T. ruficeps (Szépligeti) syn. nov., and Agathis dimidiata (Brullé) is designated a nomen dubium.

The main aim of this paper is to analyse the text of the 12th book of Geoponica for the purpose of identification of vegetable plants, which were described by Cassianus Bassus. The analysis will serve as the first step for further inquiries that will include the reconstruction of recipes that require some of the vegetables presented in the text.The text of Geoponica is a basic source learn about the agriculture but also the culinary art of the Byzantine Empire, even though it is rather hard to read due to the complicated style and quite a large number of technical terms (i.e. botanical, agronomical or astrological to name just a few). As already mentioned, the first part of the analysis is to identify the plants mentioned by Bassus, which will allow me to take further steps, i.e. to reconstruct the culinary recipes, in which the plants mentioned by the Author can be found. Without this precise identification, the reconstruction of the recipes would not be possible at all.In the 12th book of his Geoponica Bassus gave descriptions of several plants that should be taken into consideration while planning the garden, mostly for their medicinal or cooking properties. Amongst them, Author mentioned garlic, artichoke, melon, leek, radish, celery, and cucumbers. Having the rather big number of plants narrowed down will allow to demonstrate in vivo how they were served according to De re coquinaria by Apicius and present the practical usage of vegetables proposed by Bassus for cultivation. As Apicius’ cookbook is the only one preserved from Antiquity, it will remain the major source of the recipes presented in this paper.

AbstractTwo poets addressed by Propertius in his first book are in fact pseudonyms. Ponticus was formed on the model of Horace's Alpinus to designate someone who embodies the antithesis of the poet's Callimachean sensibilities. Bassus is none other than Horace himself, who was then in the course of writing iambics. In the eleventh epode, Horace responded in kind by creating the pseudonyms Pettius, Lyciscus and Inachia, all of which derive from aspects of Propertius' first book. This exchange between Horace and Propertius has echoes in their later work. We conclude by examining why Ovid seems to treat Ponticus and Bassus as real poets in the Tristia.

AbstractBassus arthurellus n. sp. is described making the name available for studies currently underway on the parasitoids of pests of sunflower (Helianthus). Reasons are given for including this species in Bassus F., a genus often considered a synonym of Agathis Latr.

The Specialnik manuscript (HradKM II.A.7), from early sixteenth-century Bohemia, includes two well-known works with unique supplementary voices. One work, the final Agnus of Brumel's Missa Ut re mi fa sol la, includes an added bassus which deepens the composite range and animates the original without seriously disrupting it. An analysis of this movement shows why it was popular as an independent instrumental piece: it is clearly structured as statement and heightened reprise. The second work, Bedingham's "Fortune/Gentil madonna" contains a similar kind of bassus (as a substitute for the original contratenor) and also a triplum which exhibits characteristics of an idiomatic instrumental style. The Spec arrangement prompts a re-examination of the other sources and a demonstration that Bedingham's song originally called for a change from triple to duple mensuration in its B section.

Two genera of Bassinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) have been described and illustrated from Bangladesh and a key was prepared. The genera are: Agathis Latreille and Bassus Fabricius newly recorded from Bangladesh. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cujbs.v6i1-2.17239 The Chittagong Univ. J. B. Sci.,Vol. 6(1&2):135-146, 2011

Late in 41 or early in 40 BC a force of Parthians embarked upon an unusually vigorous and penetrative irruption into the Roman province of Syria. Prominent among those commanding the Parthians was Q. Labienus who had earlier been sent to the court of the Parthian king by the assassins of Caesar as they made their own preparations for war with the dead dictator's supporters. Marooned by the outcome of the battle of Philippi, Labienus became resident at the court of the Parthian king Orodes, returning to Roman territory in the company of the invaders. The force concentrated first on Syria and surrounding territory but by the spring of 40 BC a thrust was made with Labienus at its head into the provinces of Asia Minor. Initially, prominent citizens of the region were left to make their own responses to Labienus but presently a successful Roman counter-attack was mounted under the leadership of P. Ventidius Bassus. The invaders were swiftly defeated but not before Labienus had deployed the striking self-designation ‘Parthicus’. Bassus himself duly triumphed in November 38 BC and became the only non-imperial holder of ‘Parthicus’ as a cognomen.

The conversion of a fourth-century secular basilica into the church of Sant'Andrea Catabarbara in Rome during the 470s invites a discussion of how architectural adaptation contributed to the identity of its restorer, Valila. More than a century after the praetorian prefect of Italy, Junius Bassus, founded the basilica in 331, a Goth named Valila, belonging to the senatorial aristocracy, bequeathed the structure to Pope Simplicius (468–83). References to Valila's last will in the church's dedicatory inscription were inserted directly above Junius Bassus's original donation inscription, inviting reflections upon the transmission of élite status from one individual to another. The particularities of Valila's legacy as a testator, as indicated in the references to his will in the Sant'Andrea Catabarbara inscription and confirmed by a charter he wrote to support a church near Tivoli, suggest that he sought to control his lasting memory through patronage. Valila's concern for a posthumous status provides a context for interpreting the interior of the Roman church. Juxtaposed to the church's fifth-century apse mosaic were opus sectile panels depicting Junius Bassus, together with scenes of an Apollonian tripod and an illustration of the exposed body of Hylas raped by two nymphs originating from the earliest phase of the basilica. The article proposes that Valila nuanced his élite identity by preserving the fourth-century images and thereby hinted that preservation fostered both the accretion of physical layers and the accrual of multiple identities by a Gothic aristocrat in Rome.

The braconid subfamily Agathidinae is a large group of koinobiont endoparasitic wasps of lepidopteran larvae. Until recently, three of the 10 agathidine genera that occur in Australia, Camptothlipsis Enderlein, Lytopylus Foerster and Therophilus Wesmael, were treated as synonyms of Bassus F. s.l. Of these three genera, Therophilus is the most speciose and widely distributed in Australia, and is one of only two agathidine genera whose members are associated with a putative mimicry complex of braconid wasps and other insects comprising species that have a distinctive black, red-orange and white colour pattern. Australian species, previously considered under Bassus s.l., have received little attention since their original description nearly 90 years ago and, not surprisingly, this earlier work is insufficient for reliable species identification. The present study updates the taxonomy of the described species, presents a more thorough assessment of intraspecific variation, and provides a key for species of Therophilus. Four new species are described that support morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies on the Australian fauna: Camptothlipsis oliveri Stevens n. sp., representing the first described species for this genus in Australia, and Therophilus aalvikorum Stevens n. sp., T. mishae Stevens n. sp., and T. stephensae Stevens n. sp., whose descriptions also extend the morphological limits of Therophilus in Australia. In addition, the introduced Lytopylus rufipes (Nees von Esenbeck) is redescribed, this species representing the only member of the genus known from Australia. Significantly, two species of Therophilus, T. unimaculatus (Turner) and T. rugosus (Turner), are important parasitoids of the native Australian lepidopterans Etiella behrii Zeller (Pyralidae) and Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Tortricidae) that have become significant pests in southern and eastern Australia, as well as in several other countries.

Blastobasis repartella (Dietz) is a borer in the proaxis and basal nodes and internodes of above ground stems of Panicum virgatum L. (Poaceae). The adult and immature stages are described herein, including diagnoses of the adult and larva, as this insect may be easily confused with a closely related grass-feeding congener, Blastobasis graminea Adamski, which is also known to occur in the United States. The biology of B. repartella is described. Figures of the adult, illustrations of the male and female genitalia, wing venation, the chaetotaxy of the larva (supplemented with scanning electron micrographs), and pupa are provided. Bassus difficilis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is reported as a larval/pupal parasitoid of B. repartella. A new host record for Aethes spartinana (Barnes & McDunnough) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is also reported.

Let us start by considering a remarkable text. At the very beginning of the second half of his account of the reign of Nero, Tacitus tells at some length a tale about the emperor and a dream (Ann. 16.1-3): one Caesellius Bassus, ‘origine Poenus, mente turbida’, dreamt that there was a cavern full of treasure on his estates. He was so confident about the dream that (without identifying the cavern) he sailed from Africa to Rome, where he convinced the emperor; Nero accordingly expected new revenue and spent still more extravagantly. Later, before the disappointed and desperate Caesellius committed suicide, ‘posita vaecordia’, he expressed surprise, claiming that his dreams had never before been false (‘non falsa antea somnia sua … admirans’). An alternative version said that he did not commit suicide but merely had his property confiscated. Tacitus is in any case most disapproving, and tells the story at unusual length with the obvious intention of suggesting that Nero was as insane as Caesellius.

Horatius a késő ókorra sokat olvasott és idézett iskolai szerző lett. A római irodalmi kánonban elfoglalt helye azonban nem volt mindig szilárd, hiszen – és ez kikövetkeztethető abból, hogy a kora császárkor jelentős szerzőinek életművében vagy nem, vagy alig találunk rá vonatkozó utalást, tőle származó idézetet – volt olyan időszak, néhány olyan évtized, amikor a költő nem tartozott a fontos és idézett szerzők közé. Jelentős fordulat állt be azonban Horatius megítélésében Nero korában. Hirtelen a legtöbbet hivatkozott és utánzott szerzők közé kerül, szatírái és lírai költeményei mind irodalmi mintákká válnak, ahogy azt Aules Persius Flaccus és Caesius Bassus költészete, illetve Petronius Satyricon című regénye bizonyítja. Úgy tűnik, hogy Horatius Ars poetica című versében kifejtett gondolatai utat találtak a Vergilius-kommentárokba is, és e mű poétikai kézikönyvvé avatása föltehetően szintén a Nero kori Horatius-reneszánszhoz kapcsolható. Mindezek a szálak pedig végső soron L. Annaeus Cornutushoz, az ezüstkori sztoikus filozófushoz és irodalomkritikushoz vezetnek, akinek – véleményem szerint – meghatározó szerepe lehetett abban, hogy az 1. század derekától Horatius a római irodalmi kánon egyik meghatározó szerzőjévé vált.

Przedmiotem komunikatu są nowo odkryte fragmenty pierwodruku nieznanych dotąd głosów Altus i Bassus Lamentationes Hieremiae Prophetae Wacława z Szamotuł, przedstawione w artykule Ryszarda J. Wieczorka i Michała Wysockiego (Muzyka 62 (2007) nr 2, s. 4–20) oraz dostępne w edycji faksymilowej przygotowanej przez Jakuba Łukaszewskiego i Wiesława Wydrę (Poznań 2016, fot. 19 i 20). Autor przedstawia argumenty świadczące o możliwości, iż odnaleziony arkusz nie jest próbną odbitką, ale częścią zdefektowanego egzemplarza; dowodzi także, iż wbrew twierdzeniom R.J. Wieczorka i M. Wysockiego materiał muzyczny na zachowanych kartach nie zawiera błędów. Prezentuje i uzasadnia przykłady odmiennego odczytania niektórych odcinków Lamentationes, szczególnie w zakresie uzupełnienia nut niewidocznych z powodu ubytków papieru oraz rekonstrukcji głosu basowego, wychodząc z założenia, że technika imitacyjna była przez Wacława stosowana we wszystkich głosach kompozycji z wyjątkiem cytatów z chorałowego tonu recytacji. Analizuje również sposób korelacji tekstu z muzyką w omawianych fragmentach pierwodruku, z jednej strony dyktowany troską krakowskiego drukarza Łazarza Andrysowicza o oznaczanie melizmatów za pomocą graficznego rozdzielenia sylab w tekście, z drugiej zaś podlegający ograniczeniom technicznym związanym z wydrukowaniem pod odpowiednimi nutami tekstu traktowanego sylabicznie. W przypadku potwierdzenia się zaobserwowanych zasad w odniesieniu do całego dostępnego materiału Lamentationes, proponuje odejście od arbitralnego wprowadzania melizmatów w transkrypcjach oraz edycjach i przyjęcie metodologii korelacji tekstu z muzyką opartej na rozpoznanych zwyczajach drukarza.

Desde hace algunos años se ha producido la recopilación, por parte del Museo de Estepona (Málaga), de un conjunto de sigillatas extraído de contexto subacuático. Esto ha sido posible a partir del arrastre de las artes de pesca en una zona coincidente con la desembocadura del río Guadiaro. Esta colección presenta más de 200 individuos en casi perfecto estado de conservación y con un amplio elenco de sigilla en uno de los mayores conjuntos epigráficos de esta categoría en Hispania. La excepcionalidad del hallazgo, la variedad tipológica y epigráfica, y su localización hacen de su estudio una baza imprescindible para valorar el comercio de la vajilla fina en el sur de Hispania y su relación directa con el norte de la Mauritania Tingitana. Presentamos el primer avance del estudio que nos encontramos desarrollando sobre este voluminoso conjunto. La homogeneidad formal, el abultado número de piezas y la coincidente procedencia geográfica de las mismas han permitido lanzar la hipótesis de que estamos ante un pecio hundido en las cercanías del Estrecho de Gibraltar en época primo-trajanea, coincidiendo ampliamente las formas y los sellos con la denominada fosa Bassus de la Graufesenque. Planteamos una cronología ligeramente más tardía que el otro gran pecio localizado en aguas hispanas, el cala Culip IV, datado tradicionalmente entre el 78 y 82 d.C.

Nos meados do séc. XVIII um lavrador descobriu acidentalmente entre Armês e Lameiras, Sintra – “Zona Oeste” do Município Olisiponense – uma lápide romana com duplo epitáfio gravado em duas colunas paralelas. Deste achado, entretanto novamente perdido, possuímos apenas uma transcrição manuscrita conservada na Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa (COD. 425 fl. 94), exarada por um anónimo antiquarista que chegou a analisar o monumento in loco. Porém não se apercebeu estar perante uma epígrafe distribuída em duas colunas, copiando pois as letras ao corrido, sem respeitar nem separação de colunas nem, mesmo, de linhas, resultando assim um texto caótico e a priori incompreensível. Hübner (in CIL II 265) tentou reconstituir o original, mas pressupondo que a primeira palavra, que considerou abreviada, era comum aos dois epitáfios, enveredou por um caminho complexo e equívoco que admitia dois antropónimos supostamente paleohispânicos de todo desconhecidos – *Alteciniris (gen.) e *Licassi (gen.) –, bem como o desempenho da augustalidade por escravos. Devido à autoridade do autor de CIL II estas anomalias foram aceites por outros investigadores, alguns de incontestável prestígio, embora também tenham surgido vozes discordantes e mesmo cépticas. Reexaminando o manuscrito setecentista, procurámos nele indícios que nos permitissem, sem preconceitos prévios, elaborar uma renovada restituição da epígrafe original. O resultado conseguido aponta para um texto normal e desprovido de estranhezas ou irregularidades: trata-se tão-só, afinal, dos paralelos epitáfios de dois escravos, Augustinus G(aii) Licini(i) Bassi ser(vus) e Euticus L(ucii) Cassi(i) Alteris ser(vus) – que aliás não apresentam quaisquer cargos mas, apenas, os respectivos elementos onomásticos identificadores. Mais tarde veio a surgir, no mesmo sítio arqueológico, uma nova lápide cujo teor confirma, de algum modo, a nossa anterior reconstituição: trata-se da estela funerária de [-] Licinius Bassus.

This article attempts to explore the performativity that surrounds choral music in contemporary India. 1 1 Choral music was discovered in Western civilization and Christianity. As a starting point, it had the Gregorian reforms of the 6th century. Choir primarily refers to a vocal ensemble practising sacred music inside church settings as opposed to chorus which indicates vocal ensembles performing in secular environments. Multiple singers rendered sacred polyphony 1430 onwards. By the end of the century a standardized four-part range of three octaves or more became a feature. The vocal parts were called superius (later, soprano), altus, tenor (from its function of ‘holding’ the cantus-firmus) and bassus (Unger 2010, 2–3). Moving beyond its religious functions, the Shillong Chamber Choir locates itself within various sounds. Hailing from Meghalaya in the north- eastern part of India, the Shillong Chamber Choir has many folksy and original compositions in languages such as Khasi, Nagamese, Assamese and Malayalam. However, what brought them national fame was the Bollywoodisation 2 2 Bollywood refers to the South Asian film industry situated in Mumbai. The term also includes its film music and scores. of the choir. With its win in the reality TV Show, India’s Got Talent 3 3 India’s Got Talent is a reality TV series on Colors television network founded by Sakib Zakir Ahmed, part of Global British Got Talent franchise. in 2010, the Shillong Chamber Choir introduced two things to the Indian sound-scape—reproducing and inhabiting the Bollywood sound within a choral structure, and introducing to the Indian audience a medley of songs that could be termed ‘popular’, but which ultimately acquired a more eclectic framework. Medley is explored as a genre. The purpose of this article is to understand how ‘Bollywood Broadway’ is the mode through which choral renditions and more mainstream forms of entertainment are coming together.

A emigração basca para o Uruguai atingiu sua maior intensidade no decorrer do século XIX. Uma das conseqüências desse processo foi o surgimento, no último quartel do século, de entidades associativas bascas. Neste artigo se analisa sua evolução desde seus objetivos iniciais como entidades de socorros mútuos, até uma maior politização, após a expansão da ideologia nacionalista basca entre os bascos da América, nas duas primeiras décadas do século XX.

AbstractThe Philosophiae naturalis adversus Aristotelem libri XII of 1621 is the first textbook in natural philosophy to combine anti-Aristotelian arguments with explicit corpuscularianism. While its uniqueness resides in the pioneering role it played in the history of the neo-atomist movement, its fateful attraction lies in the almost complete anonymity of its author. No other novator in the history of early modern thought has been as elusive as the man known as Basso, Basson, Bassus, or Bassone. This essay consists of two parts. The first part places the Philosophia naturalis within its time and summarizes its main theories, emphasizing the larger themes and the tensions found between its conflicting accounts of causality. Special attention is drawn to Basson's dual approach to atomism, namely physical and theological, which are not complementary, but contradictory. The fortuna of Basson from his own age down to his current status in the history of science is examined next. In combination with his methodological heterogeneity, Basson's anonymity are found to have led to disparate assessments of his aims. In the current literature, Basson figures as a Neoplatonist, a pre-Cartesian occasionalist, the earliest molecular chemist, a Renaissance studioso, a Stoic philosopher and a Calvinist zealot. The second part of this essay tries to improve this situation. Recently discovered documents show that Basson, after a Jesuit education in the 1590's and subsequent medical studies, became a Protestant. He spent the years 1611 to 1625, to which our documents relate, at the smallest of French Huguenot academies in the mountain town of Die (Dauphiné) where he taught at the local Collège. An analysis of Die's difficult historical circumstances, of its little academy and its official natural philosophy, and finally of Basson's own uneasy sojourn in the Dauphiné elucidates several aspects of the Philosophia, notably the theological motifs in Basson's atomism, the outdatedness of his astronomical and optical expertise, the argumentative reliance on late scholasticism, its "eloquent" style, and the timing of the publication. Yet it is undeniable that the context cannot account for the Philosophia itself, whose relation to Basson's circumstances remains perplexing. The author's conflict with the Genevan censors demonstrates that an explanation of his views in terms of Calvinist theology alone cannot explain the contents of his book. Our findings point towards the variegated nature of the forces behind the neo-atomism of the early modern period, and they force us to reconsider the coherence of the movement itself and the motifs of its proponents.

We consider two natural concepts of "perfectness" in a semiring context: the perfectness in terms of projective covers, and the perfectness in Bass's sense. For both cases we show that the class of right (left) perfect semirings coincides with the class of right (left) perfect rings; in particular, we completely confirm Conjecture of [Y. Katsov, Toward homological classification of semirings: Serre's conjecture and Bass's perfectness in a semiring context. Algebra Universalis52 (2004) 197–214].

Abstract French compositional treatises penned between c.1600 and c.1750 rarely if ever provide any instructional exercises with basses, from which apprentice composers could create multi-voice pieces by applying the rules described by their authors. Instead, these treatises—of which the most famous and widespread were no doubt those by Parran (1639), Mignot (1656), Masson (1697) and Rameau (1722)—reproduce a number of more or less extended examples to illustrate particular theoretical points. Nicolas Bernier’s handwritten ‘Principes de composition’ (c.1726–1734) stands out as the only known French tutorial of the period to supply basses akin to the contemporary partimenti used by Italian music teachers to instruct young pupils in the art of extemporaneous composition. Bernier is said to have studied with Caldara—though Corelli is more likely—in Rome, before settling in Paris in 1692. Thus not only do the partimento-like basses included in his ‘Principes de composition’ offer an echo of his studies with these Italian masters, but they may also reflect the Roman beginnings of the pedagogical partimento tradition. The Bernier treatise provides rare testimony of the importance of Corelli’s six opuses in the Italian contrappunto pratico tradition in the period 1690–1730. This article puts Bernier’s ‘Principes’ into context, and then examines his hitherto overlooked basses, their originality, and their pedagogical implications.

INTRODUCTION In the vocal arts, it is difficult to determine the exact type of human voice, and it is particularly challenging to identify the voice category of vocalist-beginners because the diapason of the voice has not fully developed. A vocalist often develops his or her voice in an unsuitable tessitura (sings in a wrong voice type) resulting in a loss of sound quality and damage to the voice. An objective metric-based system for the determination of the human voice is needed. The detection for the correlation between the airflow and vital capacity of the lungs, anthropometric data of the singers and the type of the human voice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty vocalists (ten sopranos, ten mezzo-sopranos, ten altos, ten tenors, ten baritones, and ten basses) were examined during this experimental research. All participants were professional singers who have been very successful singing in their voice category for more than five years. The Jaeger spirograph was used to investigate the volume of the peak expiratory flow of representatives of various voice categories, i.e. by measuring the speed of airflow in a time unit (per second). Measurements were made of height, body weight, vital lung capacity, and volume of the air flow per second in the big, middle and small bronchial tubes. To analyse the results, leading indicators of descriptive statistics were calculated, and one-factor disperses analysis (ANOVA) was used in equivalence testing calculations of the average values of morphological qualities. All statistical calculations were performed with the “Statistics” programme (7.0 edition). RESULTS The average height of the vocalists: sopranos – 165,8; mezzo-sopranos – 168,1; altos – 175,8; tenors – 180,5; baritones – 187,5; basses – 188,2. The average weight of the singers (kg): sopranos – 60,2; mezzo-sopranos – 70,5; altos – 74,1; tenors - 87,7; baritones – 91,4; basses – 92,6. The average vital lung capacity of the singers (L): sopranos – 3,79; mezzo-sopranos – 3,96; altos – 4,35; tenors 5,13; baritones – 6,06; basses – 6,12. The average peak expiratory flow of the singers per second (L/s): sopranos – 7,44; mezzo-sopranos – 7,43; altos – 8,19; tenors – 9,80; baritones - 11,49; basses – 11,2. The average volume of the air flow per second in the big bronchial tubes of the singers(L/s): sopranos – 6,49; mezzo-sopranos – 9,29; altos – 7,42; tenors – 7,91; baritones – 10,07; basses – 9,77. The average volume of the air flow per second in the middle bronchial tubes of the singers (L/s): sopranos – 4,60; mezzo-sopranos – 4,02; altos – 4,96; tenors 4,46; baritones – 5,79; basses – 5,73. The average volume of the air flow per second in the small bronchial tubes of the singers (L/s): sopranos – 1,98; mezzo-soprano – 1,49; altos – 1,99; tenors – 1,69; baritones – 2,24; basses – 2,17. There was a correlation between the airflow results e.a. Vital capacity, MEF 75 MEF 50 and PEF and the type of human voice, but there was no correlation between PEF 25 and the type of human voice. There was a positive correlation between anthropometric data like weight and height and the pitch of the voice. CONCLUSION There is a correlation between the type of human voice and a person's height, weight as well as their vital lung capacity and peak expiratory flow. According to our research data, an algorithm could be made for the determination of the type of human voice to avoid voice damage and health problems related to the forced use of the voice in a wrong pitch.

La présente étude s'insère dans les recherches d'anthropologie religieuse que je mène depuis vingt-cinq ans sur les musulmans du sous-continent indien. Elle vise à définir les rôles et l'insertion sociale de deux catégories de spécialistes religieux de haut niveau. Elle prolonge ainsi des travaux antérieurs qui, dans le cadre de recherches ethnologiques sur les basses castes d'artisans musulmans, s'étaient concentrés sur les spécialistes illettrés de niveau inférieur comme les barbiers-circonciseurs, les bouchers et surtout les fakirs (faqîr) rattachés à des ordres mystiques devenus des basses castes de mendiants et de prêtres funéraires.
