  • Tion Maps, Planning Expeditions, Comparing Species Lists, Or Because of Some Historical Interest
    32 FLORA MALESIANA BULLETIN 10(1), 1988 XI. Ledermann’sand some other German localities in Papua New Guinea J.F. Veldkamp & W. Vink Rijksherbarium, POB9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands D.G. Frodin Academy ofNatural Sciences of Philadelphia,19th and the Parkway, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania 19103, U.S.A. Collecting localities are of special interest to those who want to know the exact origin of the material under study: e.g. when citing types, designating neotypes, preparing distribu- tion maps, planning expeditions, comparing species lists, or because of some historical interest. It is not always easy to gather these data, especially in the case of many former colonies where geographical names as used on collections have been changed (or may never have been recorded by the authorities and include on maps or in official gazetteers). As we have spent some time to gather the present information, we thought a wider audience might be interested. For a brief period, 1884 to 1921, the northern half of Papua New Guinea was a German colony, and the mainland portion known as Kaiser Wilhelmsland. German names were given to villages and other places where the colonists settled, and to the rivers and moun- tains they ’discovered’. When the Mandated Territory of New Guinea came into existence in 1921, the Australian administration proceeded to change many of these names. Some were merely translated, e.g. Aprilfluss became April River, Felsspitze became Rocky Peak, and Hansemann-Berg (near Madang) became Mt. Hansemann. Others underwent a complete change: Kaiser Wilhelmsland was abandoned in favour of ‘North-East New Guinea’, the mighty Kaiserin Augustafluss reverted to being the Sepik, the English names for Neu-Pommern and Neu-Mecklenburg were restored, the names of famous English politicians replaced those of German philosophers for two peaks in the Finisterre Range, and Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen became Madang after the name of the District Officer’s house which had been moved there from Finschhafen.

  • The Freshwater Biodiversity of New Guinea
    Australia New Guinea Fishes Association Queensland Inc. Freshwater Biodiversity of New Guinea Special Publication: June. 2007 These discoveries were made under Conservation International Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) which deploys expert scientists to poorly understood regions in order to quickly assess the biological diversity of an area. The conservation organization makes RAP results immediately available to local and international decision makers to help support conservation action and biodiversity protection. New Guinea's forests are some of the most biodiverse in the world, but they are increasingly under threat from commercial logging. However, the Foja Mountains of western New Guinea are so isolated – in the furthest reaches of the Indonesian province of West Papua - they remain relatively untouched. In other parts of West Papua poaching is taking a heavy toll on wildlife populations. Whatever your subject of interest, you'll find the biodiversity of New Guinea extremely fascinating.

  • Hapter 1 Barupu Language and Speakers
    :hapter 1 Barupu language and speakers Barupu is a Papuan (or non-Austronesian) language spoken by almost 3000 people in Sandaun Province on the north coast of Papua New Guinea (see pp xxi & xxii). It is the eastern-most member ofthe Piore River branch ofthe Macro-Skou family (Donohue 2004). The main village site is inland from the Sissano lagoon and there are outlying coastal and bush camps. The language is officially called 'Biiuni' (also the word for 'no'), but speakers often refer to it as Barupu (with stress on the second syllable) or Warapu (with stress on the first syllable), which are also the names ofthe current and former village sites respectively. Up until a tsunami on July 17th, 1998, the village ofWarapu was located on a sandspit between the Sissano lagoon and the ocean. Since then, the village ofBarupu has been established inland from the lagoon, near traditional garden sites. Section 1.1 ofthis chapter traces the migration ofBarupu speakers from Papua (formerly West Papua and Irian Jaya) to the current site. Subsequent sections describe Barupu economic and cultural life, sketch the general typological features ofBarupu and the use ofthe language in the community and the effects ofEnglish and tok Pisin. Section 1.5 lists previous works on the language. The final section ofthis chapter describes the fieldwork carried out for this study. 1 Barupu language and speakers 2 1.1 Linguistic grouping and history Skou languages are found as far west as immediately over the border with Indonesia and as far east as Barupu. Laycock (1975:851) identified Barupu (=Warapu) as part oftbe Krisa fumily ofthe Skou phylum, in the configuration shown in Figure 1.1.

Alternative source mechanisms of the tsunami were addressed by offshore investigation using. multibeam bathymetry, sub-bottom profiling, sediment sampling and observation from the JAMSTEC Dolphin 3K Remotely Operated Vehicle and Shinkai 2000 Manned Submersible. The area offshore of Sissano is a complex active convergent margin with subduction taking place along the New Guinea Trench. Dominant transpressional convergence results in diachronous collision of the highstanding North Bismarck Sea Plate in a westerly direction.

  • A Revision of the Rainbowfish Genus Chilatherina
    Ree. West. Aust. Mus. 1981,9 (3): 279-299 A REVISION OF THE RAINBOWFISH GENUS CHILATHERlNA (MELANOTAENIIDAE) GERALD R. ALLEN* ABSTRACT The six species of Chilatherina, family Melanotaeniidae, are reviewed. The genus inhabits freshwater streams of northern New Guinea between the Markham and Mamberamo Rivers and also the central highlands of Papua New Guinea. The habitat consists mainly of exposed, sunlit sections of tribu­ tary streams, although two species have lacustrine populations. A brief diagnosis, illustrations, and tables of counts are presented for each of the following species (approximate distributions indicated in parentheses): C. axelrodi (Pual River system); C. campsi (Markham River system and head­ water streams of Sepik and Purari River systems); C. crassispinosa (wide­ spread northern New Guinea); C. fasciata (widespread northern New Guinea); C. lorentzi (Tawarin River, Irian Jaya); C. sentaniensis (Lake Sentani, Irian Jaya). A generic diagnosis and key to the species are also provided. INTRODUCTION The freshwater rainbowfishes (Melanotaeniidae) of Australia and New Guinea have received relatively little attention since the major works of Weber (1908), Regan (1914), and Weber and De Beaufort (1922). Aside from brief reviews of the Australian and New Guinea species by Munro (1958 and 1964, respectively) nothing of great significance has been pub­ lished in the last several decades. The main reason for the lack of recent activity is the remote nature of the rainbowfish habitat. Most of the species inhabit the New Guinea interior, much of which remains unexplored even today, particularly the western half now known as Irian Jaya. The present author initiated a study of melanotaeniid taxonomy in 1974 and since that time has conducted six major fieldtrips to northern Australia and Papua New Guinea.
