O autor examina as diferentes interpretações sobre a migração para Madagáscar, em particular as propostas que defendem a presença africana, associada ou não à indonésia, e as que privilegiam a sul-asiática. O artigo analisa ainda as moti- vações e as rotas utilizadas pelos protomalgaxes para chegar a Madagáscar. Palavras-chaves: Madagáscar- migração- colonização Malagasy Origins Revisited Despite voluminous scholarship involved, scholars have long grappled with the issues of the unknown origin of the Malagasy people. The author examines several hypothesis on migration, particularly those that focus on the African presence in Madagascar – either by themselves or in conjunction with people from Indonesia – and those that argue that South Asians have colonized the island. The article also analyzes the impulses behind the migration and the routes that the Proto-Malagasy have used to reach Madagascar. Key words: Madagascar- migration- colonization Les origines malgaches revisitées Depuis longtemps, la question de l’origine du peuple malgache reste sans réponse, en dépit de multiples recherches.

St. Andrews (Maur.) (Maur.) Department of Zoology & Applied Entomology, Imperial College of Science & Technology, South Kensington, London, S.W.7. March, 1965. 162. VOL.Z. XMFennahius+: A new genus of KINNARIDAE (Hemiptera - Fulgoroidea) common to Mauritius and Reunion. The KINNARIDAE show affinities with the CIXIIDAE not merely in their general overall resemblance, but in a number of morphological points to which attention has already been drawn by Muir and other workers, e.g., Metcalf, Fennah, Synave. Conventionally separated from one another by wing-venation, the quite dissimilar structure of the male genitalia confirms that the difference is of familial rank. The presence of wax-producing areas on the sixth, seventh and eighth tergites (vide Plate 18f - top left preparation) of the adult female is a character shared with the MEENOPLIDAE but not the CIXIIDAE. It is rather unfortunate that the members of the family have never been the subject of a special study. Examination of some of their characters (e.g., ? genitalia and text) suggests that in many features they present significant departures from the standard fulgoroid pattern. The presence of a large bursa-copulatrix and reduced valvulae (vide Plate 18b) in Paramicrixia diaphana makes investigation of the live insect highly desirable. The occurrence )f tblemmatarl-t minute ocelli-like structures placed close to each ocellus deserves +The author is privileged to dedicate this new genus to Mr.

  • Medals and Awards Gold Medal Recipients
    Medals and Awards Gold Medal Recipients The Gold Medals (Founder’s and Patron’s Medals) originated as an annual gift of fifty guineas from King William IV. It was awarded for the first time in 1831, for the encouragement and promotion of geographical science and discovery. In 1839 the Society decided that this sum should be converted into two gold medals of equal value, to be designated the Founder’s Medal and the Patron’s Medal. Today both Medals are approved by Her Majesty The Queen. Gold Medal recipients are listed in full below: 1832 Founder's Medal - Richard Lander For important services in determining the course and termination of the Niger 1833 Founder's Medal - John Biscoe For his discovery of Graham’s Land and Enderby’s Land in the Antarctic 1834 Founder's Medal - Captain Sir John Ross For his discovery of Boothia Felix and King William Land and for his famous sojourn of four winters in the Arctic 1835 Founder's Medal - Sir Alexander Burnes For his remarkable and important journeys through Persia 1836 Founder's Medal - Captain Sir George Back For his recent discoveries in the Arctic, and his memorable journey down the Great Fish River 1837 Founder's Medal - Captain Robert Fitzroy For his survey of the coasts of South America, from the Rio de la Plata to Guayaquil in Peru 1838 Founder's Medal - Colonel Francis Rawdon Chesney For valuable materials in comparative and physical geography in Syria, Mesopotamia and the delta of Susiana 1839 Founder's Medal - Thomas Simpson For tracing the hitherto unexplored coast of North America Patron's Medal - Dr.

Some Legal Systems That Have Disappeared* JoImr H. WIGMOREI I. THE IRANIAN LEGAL SYSTEM This is the story of a legal system crushed in its semi- maturity by external invasion and forcible displacement. 1. On the vast tableland of Iran, ringed with lofty mountain ranges, there lived originally some primitive folk who played no part in history. The precocious Semitic peoples, below on the west in the rich river-lands of the Euphrates and the Tigris (B. C. 3500-500), were building populous cities, creating a varied literature in cuneiform script, and developing an advanced sys- tem of commercial law. But at various periods before B. C. 1000 there drifted in to the tableland, from the wide prairie regions north of the Black and east of the Caspian seas, many tribal groups of a different stock-the "Aryans" or Indo-Iranians, owning a common stock of language-roots and observing the nomadic customs of horse- men and herdsmen ("Ariana" is the name on some of the older maps).

  • Colonies Lost Pier M
    Colonies Lost: God, Hunger, and Confl ict in Anosy (Madagascar) to 1674 VARIORUM VARIORUM Pier M. Larson fl eet of thirteen Portuguese vessels under the command of Pedro Álvares Cabral set sail from Lisbon for the East Indies just two years after Vasco da Gama fi rst rounded the Cape of Good Hope. In late May 1500, inclement weather at the Cape separated the vessel commanded by Diego Diaz from the others, blowing it well south of its intended course. Steering north to regain their way, Diaz and crew caught sight of land on 10 August along the coast of Anosy, Madagascar’s southeast extremity (fi g. 1). The day was the Feast of São Lourenço, and Diaz named the big island (Madagascar) for European cartography after the feast.1 As far as it is known, this was the fi rst sighting of Madagascar by seafarers hailing directly from the Atlantic via the Cape route. European sailors and mapmakers continued to identify Madagascar as São Lourenço (Portuguese) and Saint-Laurent (French) for centuries to come. From the early decades of the sixteenth century to the French abandonment of Madagascar in 1674, Anosy in southeast Madagascar was an important site of European-Malagasy interac- tion. The meeting grounds of Anosy played a signifi cant role in the early modern history of the southwest Indian Ocean, much as the Cape of Good Hope or Kilwa and Mombasa did, but they are poorly known outside a close circle of francophone Madagascar experts. At the same time little secondary literature on Anosy and its Europeans in any language is broad and compara- tive
