ABSTRACT For the past 200 years most, if not all Australian Tree Frogs have been treated as being in a single genus. For many years this was Hyla Laurenti, 1768, before the genus name Litoria Tschudi, 1838 was adopted by Cogger et al. (1983) and has been in general use by most herpetologists since, including Cogger (2014). Tyler and Davies (1978) divided the putative genus Litoria into 37 “species groups” and this type of classification has been used by numerous authors since, including most recently Menzies (2006) for the New Guinea species and Anstis (2014) for the Australian ones.

The interpretations presented are my own and do not represent the view of any other person except where acknowledged in the text ii. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. David Hyndman, whose concern for the people of the Fourth World encouraged me to continue working on this area of study, and for his suggestion that I undertake fieldwork in the Western Province refugee camps in Papua New Guinea. The University of Queensland supplied funds for airfares between Brisbane, Port Moresby and Kiunga and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees arranged for UN transport in the Western Province. I thank both these institutions for supporting my visit to Papua New Guinea. Over the course of time, officials in both government and non-government institutions change; for this reason I would like to thank the institutions rather than individual persons. Foremost among these are the Department of Provincial Government and the Western Province Provincial Government, the Papua New Guinea Departtnent of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Young Women's Christian Association of Papua New Guinea, the Papua New Guinea Department of Health, the Catholic Church Commission for Justice, Peace and Development, the Montfort Mission (Kiunga and East Awin), the ZOA Medical mission, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (Canberra and Port More�by).

In advising it’s acceptance of the Convention, the Government of PNG joined other signatories in committing to, amongst other things, as far as possible to: 1. “adopt a general policy that aims to give the cultural and natural heritage a function in the life of the community and to integrate the protection of that heritage into comprehensive planning programs’; 2. undertake 'appropriate legal, scientific, technical, administrative and financial measures necessary for the identification, protection, conservation, presentation and rehabilitation of this heritage'; 3. refrain from 'any deliberate measures which might damage, directly or indirectly, the cultural and natural heritage' of other Parties to the Convention, and to help other Parties in the identification and protection of their properties.” UNESCO In accordance with Article 11 (1) of the Convention, in 2006 PNG formally nominated seven identified areas for Tentative Listing.

  • 5. Freshwater Crustacea Decapoda of New Guinea L. B. Holthuis
    5. Freshwater Crustacea Decapoda of New Guinea L. B. Holthuis Although the Decapoda are the best known freshwater Crustacea of New Guinea, knowledge of their taxonomy, distribution and ecology is still very fragmentary, and a clear picture of their biogeography and ecology can not yet be given, but some interesting features can be observed. The Decapoda inhabiting the freshwaters of New Guinea belong to three distinct categories: (1) shrimps belonging to the families Atyidae and Palaemonidae, (2) crayfish of the family Parastacidae and (3) crabs of the families Sundathelphusidae, Grapsidae, and Hymenosomatidae. Of these 6 families only the Parastacidae and Sundathelphusidae are exclusively fresh- water inhabitants; the other families contain species that spend their entire life or part of it in the sea or in brackish water, the percentage of true freshwater species in each family is variable, being quite high in the Atyidae and extremely low in the Grapsidae. 1. Historical As late as the second half of the 19th century the first freshwater Decapoda were reported from New Guinea, when De Man (1879:167, 168) mentioned Palaemon Rosenbergii [ = Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879)] and Palaemon ornatus [ = Macrobrachium lar (Fabricius, 1798)] from Andai in the Vogelkop. Earlier in the same year De Man (1879a:63) mentioned the freshwater crab Parathelphusa convexa De Man, 1879, from New Guinea, but his material was incorrectly labelled and probably came from Java. The above shrimps of the genus Macrobrachium were collected at Andai by C. B. H. von Rosenberg. Most of the early zoologists who visited New Guinea concentrated their attention on vertebrates, but some also collected Crustacea, like the Italian zoologists L.

  • 2 the Trans New Guinea Family Andrew Pawley and Harald Hammarström
    2 The Trans New Guinea family Andrew Pawley and Harald Hammarström 2.1 Introduction The island of New Guinea is a region of spectacular, deep linguistic diversity.1 It contains roughly 850 languages, which on present evidence fall into at least 18 language families that are not demonstrably related, along with several iso- lates.2 This immense diversity, far greater than that found in the much larger area of Europe, is no doubt mainly a consequence of the fact that New Guinea has been occupied for roughly 50,000 years by peoples organised into small kin-based social groups, lacking overarching political affiliations, and dispersed across a terrain largely dominated by rugged mountains and swampy lowlands, with quite frequent population movements. Among the non-Austronesian families of New Guinea one family stands out for its large membership and wide geographic spread: Trans New Guinea (TNG). With a probable membership of between 300 and 500 discrete languages, plus hundreds of highly divergent dialects, TNG is among the most numerous of the world’s language families.3 TNG languages are spoken from the Bomberai Pen- insula at the western end of mainland New Guinea (132 degrees E) almost to the eastern tip of the island (150 degrees E). Most of the cordillera that runs for more than 2000 kilometers along the centre of New Guinea is occupied exclusively by TNG languages. They are also prominent in much of the lowlands to the south of the cordillera and in patches to the north, especially from central Madang Province eastwards. There are possible outliers spoken on Timor, Alor and Pantar.

The list contains - 1732 - titles in reverse chronological order * with the most recent titles listed first. A companion search for the key phrases "Netherlands New Guinea" and "Nederlands Nieuw Guinea" has also been prepared. These lists represent almost all of the material related to Papua held in the National Library. A small amount of additional material is held by the National Library that does not contain catalogued references to these keywords. This includes illustrations such as those now referenced in Papuaweb's image section (19th Century birds and 18th Century Dore Bay.) Once these lists are registered by various search engines, they will be fully searchable across the internet (unlike the NLA catalogue). This page is also searchable using the "Crtl+F" feature in Internet Explorer or similar page search features in other internet browsers.
