  • The Zoogeography of the East Indian Archipelago 1 Dr
    THE ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF THE EAST INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO 1 DR. P. N. VAN KAMPEN TRANSLATED FROM THE DUTCH BY THOMAS BARBOUR TRANSLATOR'S NOTE NEARLY a year ago I received from my friend Dr. van Kampen a paper which seemed at once of such present interest and general excellence that I believed it should be made available for English-speaking students of zoo­ geography. Its original publication in Java makes it inaccessible to many. The essay was written to be read before the Debating Club of the Batavian Royal Natural History Society; and I am under obligation to both Dr. van Kampen and the president of the Koninklijke Natuurkundig Vereeniging for permission to make and publish this translation. THE ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF THE EAST INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO Even a superficial examination shows us that a very considerable faunistic differentiation exists between the western and eastern halves of the Indo-Australian archi­ pelago. Perhaps this differentiation is most evident amongst the mammals. If one compares, for instance, Sumatra with New Guinea, one finds at once upon the first-named island a number of large mammals, such as the tiger and the leopard, the rhinoceros and the tapir, which are of course unknown upon New Guinea. Here, on the other hand, certain marsupials are found, as well as the strange egg-laying ant-eaters, of which there is no sign upon Sumatra. One finds similar phenomena upon 1 Original title: "De Zoogeografie van den Indischen Archipel door Dr. P. N. Van Kampen.

  • 6 X 10.Long New.P65
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-12108-8 - The Idea of Indonesia: A History R. E. Elson Excerpt More information 1 The origins of the idea of Indonesia Before the twentieth century, there was no Indonesia and thus no Indonesians. In the archipelago that stretched between continental Asia and Australia, states and statelets abounded, some loosely articulated by slowly gathering Dutch imperial power, but localism remained the predom- inant motif of political and cultural identity. There was ‘not a single flag but many flags’.1 Equally, there was in the archipelago nothing by way of broadly conceived, modern, decisive, indigenous leadership. The political idea of ‘Indonesia’ (that is, that there was an archipelago-wide state, and that it might have other forms of existence than as the colony of a cold, wet little country facing the North Sea) was very slow to develop in comparison with thinking of a similar kind in, say, China or India or Vietnam. Indeed, no one knew quite what to name the region until the early decades of the twentieth century. Non-Dutch travellers and officials called it ‘the Eastern Seas’, ‘the Eastern Islands’, ‘the Indian Archipelago’, to name a few. The Dutch some- times employed terms like ‘the Indies’, ‘the East Indies’, ‘the Indies pos- sessions’, or even, later, ‘Insulinde’ (the islands of the Indies), and as their political connection with the region grew, ‘the Netherlands (East) Indies’, and they saw it as part of ‘tropisch Nederland’ (the tropical Netherlands). The word ‘Indonesia’ was first manufactured in 1850 in the form ‘Indu-nesians’ by the English traveller and social observer George Samuel Windsor Earl.

The Malay Archipelago is the vast chain of islands stretching eastward from Sumatra for more than 6,000 kilometres. Most of it now falls within the sovereignties of Malaysia and Indonesia. In Wallace’s time, it was a world apart, a great Milky Way of land masses and seas and straits, little explored by Europeans, sparsely populated by peoples of diverse cul- tures, and harbouring countless species of unknown plant and animal in dense tropical forests.

  • BRITISH and DUTCH PERCEPTIONS of CANNIBALISM in BORNEO, 1882-1964 Adrienne Smith
    CONTIBUTOR BIO ADRIENNE SMITH is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Women and Gender Studies at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. She is particu- larly interested in modern Latin American and Middle Eastern studies. Adrienne is from the central coast of California, and in her free time enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to concerts, reading comic books, eating tacos, and traveling. 118 BRITISH AND DUTCH PERCEPTIONS OF CANNIBALISM IN BORNEO, 1882-1964 Adrienne Smith During Europe’s quest for direct control of Borneo from 1882-1964, British and Dutch explorers penetrated Borneo’s interior to establish colonies. Ex- plorers witnessed elaborate cannibalistic ceremonies. Some Europeans where excited by the existence of cannibals, others used the indigenous tribes’ canni- balistic customs to dehumanize them. This paper asks how British and Dutch travelers viewed cannibalism in Borneo, and why? I will argue that from 1882- 1964 British and Dutch perceptions of cannibalism in Borneo generated ex- ploration, while creating a stigma toward the indigenous people. My research required the use of travelogues in order to reach a better un- derstanding of the European perception of Southeast Asia. Travelogues provide a first-hand account of what colonizers experienced during their attempts to establish colonial rule over the East. The benefit of using travelogues is their representation of European knowledge as a whole during imperialism. The disadvantage of using travelogues, however, is they only focus on European interpretation. The examination of multiple historical approaches gives a better under- standing of Europe’s perceptions of Southeast Asian culture.

    ^ Journal of Biogeography, 27, I 153-l I67 , Maps of Pleistocene sea levels in Southeast Asia: shorelines, river systems and time durations Harold K. Voris Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA Abstract Aim Glaciation and deglaciation and the accompanying lowering and rising of sealevels during the late Pleistoceneare known to have greatly affected land massconfigurations in SoutheastAsia. The objective of this report is to provide a seriesof mapsthat estimatethe areasof exposed land in the Indo-Australian region during periods of the Pleistocenewhen sealevels were below present day levels. Location The maps presentedhere cover tropical SoutheastAsia and Austral-Asia. The east-westcoverage extends 8000 km from Australia to Sri Lanka. The north-south coverage extends 5000 km from Taiwan to Australia. Methods Present-day bathymetric depth contours were used to estimate past shore lines and the locations of the major drowned river systemsof the Sunda and Sahul shelves. The timing of sea level changesassociated with glaciation over the past 250,000 years was taken from multiple sourcesthat, in some cases,account for tectonic uplift and sub- sidenceduring the period in question. Results This report provides a seriesof maps that estimate the areasof exposed land in the Indo-Australian region during periods of 17,000, 150,000 and 250,000 years before present. The ancient shorelinesare basedon present day depth contours of 10, 20, 30, 40,50,75, 100 and 120 m. On the maps depicting shorelinesat 75,100 and 120 m below present levels the major Pleistoceneriver systemsof the Sunda and Sahul shelves are depicted. Estimatesof the number of major sealevel fluctuation events and the duration of time that sealevels were at or below the illustrated level are provided.

  • Remote Eastern Indonesia
    Buru Pitta in a shady ginger grove (Craig Robson) REMOTE EASTERN INDONESIA 7 – 29 NOVEMBER 2014 LEADER: CRAIG ROBSON Our latest tour to Buru, Ambon, Haruku, Yamdena (Tanimbar Is), Kai and Seram was another action-packed adventure! There were a couple of special highlights this time. On Buru we were lucky enough to re-discover Blue-fronted Lorikeet. It seems that there have been no confirmed sightings of this tiny endemic parrot since the 1920s or 1930s. Our few record shots are the first pictures ever taken of the species. Another stand-out observation was the Chinese Crested Tern that we found again off the north coast of Seram, following on from our discovery in 2010. The bird was still present in late December, and it is now clear that this is a wintering area – the only one currently documented for this critically endangered species. This tour is packed with a seemingly ever-increasing number of endemics, and there was a constant stream of other highlights: Forsten’s, Tanimbar and Moluccan Megapodes, Pygmy Eagle, Rufous-necked Sparrowhawk, Great Cuckoo- Dove, Wallace’s Fruit Dove, Moluccan (or Lesser) Masked Owl, Salmon-crested (or Seram) Cockatoo, Blue- eared Lory, Moluccan King Parrot, Buru Dwarf Kingfisher, Buru, Seram and Tanimbar Boobooks, Buru and Papuan Pittas, Kai Leaf Warbler, Buru and Seram Bush Warblers, Rufescent Darkeye, Grey-hooded White- eyes, Long-crested Myna, Buru, Fawn-breasted and Slaty-backed Thrushes, and many more. Logistics were pretty seamless and this was a smooth-running and comfortable tour as usual. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Remote Eastern Indonesiabirdquest-tours.com We all landed in Ambon, the capital of South Maluku Province, at lunch-time.

  • Papuaweb: Harple (2000)
    Introduction Contemporary consultancy reports commissioned by PT Freeport Indonesia, a mining company whose operations directly impact Kamoro and Amungme communities, paint a rather bleak picture of the ability of the Kamoro to adapt to change. They tend to indicate that due to the “constraints” of their culture, the Kamoro passively resist the massive changes brought about by the pressures of contemporary “development” and “modernisation” (see for example LABAT- Anderson, Inc. 1997:3-2-6 and Dames & Moore 1997:120-122 ).1 This thesis examines in detail how the Kamoro people of the south-west coast of Papua (former Irian Jaya), Indonesia have adapted to major political and economic changes over a long history of interactions with outsiders. It is an ethnohistorical analysis of Kamoro sociality focused on their strategies of engagement. The basic theme underlying Kamoro sociality is a form of social reciprocity that I argue is symbolically embedded in conceptions of time, history, and ultimately understandings and constructions of reality. Kamoro narratives about the cultural heroes, the amoko-we, form a meaningful merger of this subject matter. Ultimately, narratives about the amoko-we, known as amoko-kwere, are primary mechanisms for Kamoro interpretation of and adaptation to change.2 Critical elements of Kamoro sociality central to this process of adaptation include the conspicuous incorporation of foreign elements into local systems of meaning and a rather pragmatic approach to power relationships. Both are reflected not only in observations of Kamoro practice, but also in amoko-kwere. Within local systems of meaning, “foreign” elements, including people, objects and abilities, are consistently reformulated as products of Kamoro agency.

  • Physical Oceanography of the Southeast Asian Waters
    UC San Diego Naga Report Title Physical Oceanography of the Southeast Asian waters Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/49n9x3t4 Author Wyrtki, Klaus Publication Date 1961 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California NAGA REPORT Volume 2 Scientific Results of Marine Investigations of the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand 1959-1961 Sponsored by South Viet Nam, Thailand and the United States of America Physical Oceanography of the Southeast Asian Waters by KLAUS WYRTKI The University of California Scripps Institution of Oceanography La Jolla, California 1961 PREFACE In 1954, when I left Germany for a three year stay in Indonesia, I suddenly found myself in an area of seas and islands of particular interest to the oceanographer. Indonesia lies in the region which forms the connection between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and in which the monsoons cause strong seasonal variations of climate and ocean circulation. The scientific publications dealing with this region show not so much a lack of observations as a lack of an adequate attempt to synthesize these results to give a comprehensive description of the region. Even Sverdrup et al. in “The Oceans” and Dietrich in “Allgemeine Meereskunde” treat this region superficially except in their discussion of the deep sea basins, whose peculiarities are striking. Therefore I soon decided to devote most of my time during my three years’ stay in Indonesia to the preparation of a general description of the oceanography of these waters. It quickly became apparent, that such an analysis could not be limited to Indonesian waters, but would have to cover the whole of the Southeast Asian Waters.
