Louwman, out of a passion for animals – in particular, tropical birds. In the early years the Zoo housed mainly birds, elephants and tigers, but it was soon expanded; great apes such as chimpanzees and orangutans joined other species brought in from The Hague Zoo upon its closure in 1943. Wassenaar was famous for its aviaries: the Louise Hall, opened in 1952, where diligent planting and landscaping mimicked the birds’ natural habitats and fostered more successful breeding, and the Paradise Hall which opened in 1961. This was the largest free-flight bird enclosure of that time, an aviary where visitors could come face- to-face with the exotic inhabitants, without any barriers. At its height, Wassenaar Zoo contained 3,500 creatures, and in one year bred 500 animals from 90 different species – some of which were the first to be born in Europe. The Zoo’s breeding programme was world-renowned. Alongside the Zoo, the family assembled a significant private library largely during the 1950s and 1960s, with acquisitions at the Signet Library sales, through British dealers such as Quaritch, Traylen, Francis Edwards and Wheldon & Wesley and Continental firms including Asher and Junk, and especially through the agency of the Dutch marchand- amateur De Goederen. This library is extensive, wide-ranging, and especially rich in ornithology: all of Gould’s substantial folio works are present including his Birds of Australia; there are four of Daniel Giraud Elliot’s five monographs and his Birds of North America. Fittingly, the first work in this auction, Aldrovandi, is also the earliest in the collection – publication began in 1599. Sweeping chronologically forwards, one encounters the eighteenth century Northern European scientists Klein, Ridinger, Frisch, Linnaeus, Seligmann, Wirsing and Nozeman, before the French Enlightenment brings us to Brisson and Buffon, and later Viellot, Levaillant and Audebert – who benefitted from the recent flourish of French exploration and the discoveries of new species. By the second quarter of the nineteenth century, a wave of magnificent folios of hand-coloured lithographs delivered, with unprecedented naturalistic precision, what the author Simon Barnes has described in Bonhams Magazine as “impossibly gorgeous – and impossibly accurate – illustrations”. Finally, in the late 19th century, advances in printing technology coincided neatly with European colonial expansion, resulting in highly specialised studies of the birds and animals of Angola, Damara Land, Indo-China, British Guiana, Somalia, the Mascarene Islands, Java, Celebes, Laysan, Tunisia, and beyond. Wassenaar Zoo closed in 1985, the library remaining essentially untouched from the 1970s to today. A passion for animals continues to run in the Louwman family, but as memories of the Zoo fade into history, the decision has been made to release these books once more into the wild, and to allow them to thrive in new homes.

    Healers on the colonial market Healers on the colonial market is one of the few studies on the Healers on the Dutch East Indies from a postcolonial perspective. It provides an enthralling addition to research on both the history of the Dutch East Indies and the history of colonial medicine. This book will be colonial market of interest to historians, historians of science and medicine, and anthropologists. Native doctors and midwives How successful were the two medical training programmes in the Dutch East Indies established in Jakarta by the colonial government in 1851? One was a medical school for Javanese boys, and the other a school for midwives for Javanese girls, and the graduates were supposed to replace native healers, the dukun. However, the indigenous Native doctors and midwives in the Dutch East Indies population was not prepared to use the services of these doctors and midwives. Native doctors did in fact prove useful as vaccinators and assistant doctors, but the school for midwives was closed in 1875. Even though there were many horror stories of mistakes made during dukun-assisted deliveries, the school was not reopened, and instead a handful of girls received practical training from European physicians. Under the Ethical Policy there was more attention for the welfare of the indigenous population and the need for doctors increased. More native boys received medical training and went to work as general practitioners. Nevertheless, not everybody accepted these native doctors as the colleagues of European physicians. Liesbeth Hesselink (1943) received a PhD in the history of medicine from the University of Amsterdam in 2009.

    J. Soc. Biblphy not. Hist. (1980) 9 (4): 477-501 Hugh Cuming (1791-1865) Prince of collectors By S. PETER DANCE South Bank House, Broad Street, Hay-on-Wye, Powys INTRODUCTION A combination of superabundant energy, unquenchable enthusiasm and endless opportunity was responsible for the remarkable increase in our knowledge of the natural world during the nineteenth century. For every man of action prepared to risk his life in foreign parts there was a dozen armchair students eager to publish descriptions and illustrations of the plants and animals he brought home. Among nineteenth-century men of action few con- tributed as much to the material advance of natural history as Hugh Cuming (1791 —1865) and none has received such an unequal press. A widely accepted picture of the man is contained in a popular and much acclaimed book1 published in the 1930s: The research after the rare, a quasi-commercial, quasi-scientific research, is typified, glorified and carried to the point of exhausting the fun of the game, in the career of the excellent Englishman Hugh Cuming, a wealthy amateur, who set out in a private yacht to cruise the world for new shells, some- thing to tickle the jaded fancy of the European collector in his castle or parsonage or shell-shop. In the Philippines Cuming sent native collectors into the jungles after tropical tree snails, and saw one fellow returning with a sack full from which specimens (every one possibly a genus new to science) were dribbling carelessly along the jungle floor. On a reef in the South Seas (which has since been destroyed by a hurricane) he came on eight living shells of the 'Glory-of-the-Sea'.

  • 'Masters's Rosella Platycercus Mastersianus': An
    Australian Field Ornithology 2013, 30, 188–195 ‘Masters’s Rosella Platycercus mastersianus’: An obscure intrageneric hybrid parrot reviewed, with two recent records from the wild Clifford B. Frith P.O. Box 581, Malanda QLD 4885, Australia Email: [email protected] Summary. Records of hybridisation between the Crimson Rosella Platycercus elegans and Pale-headed Rosella P. adscitus in the wild are few and have few associated data. Only one undoubted museum specimen exists, named P. mastersianus (Masters’s Rosella) by Edward P. Ramsay in 1877. Records of this hybrid involve only the southern, nominate, subspecies of the Crimson Rosella P. e. elegans. The history of this hybrid in museum collections, in captivity, and in the wild is reviewed. Two recent and previously unpublished records of individuals from the wild are illustrated and discussed; for the first time, the northern subspecies of the Crimson Rosella P. e. nigrescens is involved. One of these birds is preserved as a skin specimen resulting from a road-kill near Lake Eacham and the other was a live individual photographed in an Atherton garden, both on the southern Atherton Tableland, north Queensland. Introduction Forshaw (1989, p. 243) divided the eight species of Australian Platycercus rosella parrots that he acknowledged at the time into two distinct groups ‘differentiated by immature plumage patterns. The caledonicus-elegans-adelaidae-flaveolus group, in which immatures are predominantly dull green, is confined to eastern Australia including Tasmania. In the more widespread eximius-adscitus-venustus-icterotis group immatures resemble both or one of the adults’. An exception within the former group, however, is that immatures of the northern subspecies of the Crimson Rosella P.

The company calculates its age based on its oldest forerunner: Blaauwhoedenveem, which was active in the Amsterdam port in the early 17th century. When the ships of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) unloaded their wares here, the storehouses transported the goods to a weigh house, where they were inspected and weighed, and then on to warehouses. The city of Amsterdam mentioned the storehouses for the first time in an official regulation in 1616. Although it is plausible that Blaauwhoedenveem was already active before that time, Vopak regards this year as its founding year. The storehouses were organized in the carriers' guild. Until the abolition of this sys- tem in the 19th century, they functioned more or less in the same manner, although they even- tually also took the storage of goods in their own hands. Blaauwhoedenveem and Vriesseveem were among the most successful storehouses. In 1917, they merged into Blaauwhoedenveem- Vriesseveem, later called Blaauwhoed. Fifty years later, in 1967, Blauwhoed and Pakhuismeesteren joined forces and formed Pakhoed. At that time, Pakhuismeesteren had its own history going back a century and a half.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Master of Science in History of Science, th presented on August 7 , 2000. Title: The Ibis, Journal of the British Ornithologists' Union: A Pre-Synthesis poRedacted for privacy Abstract approved: Paul L. Farber In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution by natural selection and the study ofecology and behaviour. Various new institutions like the Edward Grey Institute ofField Ornithology symbolized the increasing professionalization of both the discipline's institutional networks and publications, which the contents of The Ibis reflected in its increasing number ofcontributions from university educated ornithologists working on specific biological problems. In looking back on the history of their discipline, the contributors to this centenary described both nineteenth century ornithology and the continued dominance oftraditional work in the pages of The Ibis in distinctive ways. They characterized them as oriented around specimens, collections, the seemingly endless gathering of facts, without reference to theoretical problems. The centenary contributors then juxtaposed this portrait in opposition to the contents ofa modem volume, with its use of statistics, graphs, and tables, and the focus ofornithologists on both natural selection and the living bird in its natural environment. This thesis returns to the contents ofthe pre-1940s volumes of The Ibis in order to examine the context and intent ofthose ornithologists characterized as "hide-bound" by the centenary contributors.
