Nicoll, Michael John (1880–1925) the Large Collections of Hemiptera of Mr are no entomological details. On his journey Mulsant visits Liège, Aachen, Cologne, Münster (Westphalia)., Szczecin (Stettin), Swinoujście (Swinemünde), Berlin, N Dresden, Bautzen, Leipzig, Erlangen, Nuremberg, Munich, Augsburg, Lindau, Zürich, Bern, Fribourg, Lausanne and Geneva. The natural history content of his narrative is perhaps best illustrated by the following quote: ‘This morning I had the opportunity of going with more care through Nicoll, Michael John (1880–1925) the large collections of Hemiptera of mr.

On the first voyage the ‘Valhalla’ visited Madeira, the Canaries, the Cabo Verde Islands, St.Paul’s Rocks, Fernando de Noronha, Bahia in Brazil; then along the eastern coast of South America, around Cape Horn up to Valparaiso; to Easter Island, Pitcairn, Tahiti, Tutuila, Samoa, Suva in the Fiji islands, Thursday Island in Torres Street, and back via Suez. On the second voyage practically all the islands of the Caribbean were visited, as well as Bermuda and the Azores. On the third voyage they visited St. Paul’s Rocks, Bahia in Brazil (20 days), the islands of Trindade and Martim Vaz, Cape Town (11 days), Mayotte in the Comoro Islands and the Seychelles. 732 bird skins and many other zoological specimens were collected; 11 species of birds were described as new. The specimens were afterwards presented by Lord Crawford to the Natural History Museum. Nicoll, who had been a member of the British Ornithological Union since 1902, was elected a Fellow of the Zoological Society following his return aboard the ‘Valhalla’. His work led to his appointment as assistant director under Major Stanley Smyth Flower (1871–1946) at the Zoological Gardens of the Egyptian Government at Giza (al-Gīzah). Thereafter Nicoll studied the avifauna of Egypt and collected more than 4,000 specimens, the most complete collection for Egypt so far.

  • Coleoptera, Polyphaga)
    OCCASIONALPAPERS OF BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM HONOLULU, HAWAII Volume XIII 1937 Number 13 -------------- Check List of the Palpicornia of Oceania (Coleoptera, Polyphaga) By ARMAND D'ORCHYMONT MUSEI'; ROYAL n'HISTOIRE NATURI';LLI';, BRusseLS, BET,GIUM INTRODUCTION Palpicornia of Oceania, as summarized in my paper of 1933 (17)1, are very few in number. To my knowledge there are but seven species recorded as endemic to the Oceanic islands, a scarcity which may be explained by several circumstances. Many islands are of coral or very recent volcanic origin. Consequently they have been submitted to colonization for a relatively short period and the occasional immigrant stock has not had sufficient time to evolve into separate genera or species. Furthermore, insular faunas are generaIly poor due to their isolation; this must be especially true for the remote Oceanic islands which must have been colonized with difficulty from elsewhere. That ancient Moorea and Tahiti, for instance, so greatly changed through long geological ages and with such varied topo­ graphy, should be so poor in Palpicornia seems surprising and not to be explained solely by lack of specialized explorations. Insular faunas may be poor not only in species but also in individuals. In this connection, Krone's (12, p. 153) comments on the fauna of the sub-antarctic Auckland Islands, w~ich I translate freely, may be called to mind: " ... but, with the exception of troublesome sandflies and great blue horseflies which occur by millions near the seashore, 1 Numbers in pat-entheses refer to ~iterature Cited, p. 13. 148 Bernice P.

U.S. Marine Scientific Research Activities Offshore Mexico: An Evaluation of Mexico's Recent Regulatory Legal Framework JORGE A. VARGAS* I. INTRODUCTION The conduct of marine scientific research activities by U.S. oceano- graphic vessels, in areas under Mexico's sovereignty or jurisdiction, is a topic that has been added to the agenda between the United States and Mexico only in recent years. Marine questions, however, have not been absent from the diplo- matic correspondence exchanged between the two countries. Early this century, questions regarding the territorial sovereignty of certain islands and rocks in the Gulf of Mexico,1 attracted the attention of both govern- ments. At the same time, the prestigious Mexican Society of Geography and Statistics decided to inquire into the validity of the United States' legal title over the California Channel Islands.2 The claim was based on the fact that the islands were not explicitly mentioned in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848 upon which Mexico ceded vast extensions of its northern territories to the United States.

  • Oceanic Encounters: a Prelude
    Chapter 1 Oceanic Encounters: A Prelude Margaret Jolly and Serge Tcherkézoff This volume explores encounters, those encounters between indigenous peoples of the Pacific and foreigners during that longue durée of exploration, colonisation and settlement, from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century. By highlighting the idea of encounter we hope to stress the mutuality inherent in such meetings of bodies, and of minds. This is not to say that such encounters were moments of easy understanding or pacific exchanges. As many of the chapters in this volume attest, such encounters, from Quirós' sojourn in Espiritu Santo in 1606 (see Jolly 2007) to Australian patrols in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea from the late 1920s, were often occasions of tumultuous misunderstanding and extreme violence. But, even in the midst of massacre and revenge, there was a meeting of meanings, of bodies and minds, whereby pre-existing understandings, preconceptions from both sides of the encounter, were engaged, brought into confrontation and dialogue, mutual influence and ultimately mutual transformation. We thus prefer the notion of ªencounterº to the more common sobriquet ± ªfirst contactº ± for several reasons (see Connolly and Anderson 1987; Schieffelin and Crittenden 1991; and compare Ballard 2003 [1992]). Prior Indigenous Encounters: Language, Culture and Power Firstly, the idea of ªfirst contactº privileges the meeting of Pacific peoples and Europeans, by perceiving these as unprecedented, as ªfirst.º This risks occluding all previous cross-cultural encounters between Pacific peoples such as those between Papuan- and Austronesian-speaking peoples or between Fijians and Tongans. As Tryon (this volume) stresses, the past and present patterning of Pacific languages suggests a long history of intensive contact in trade and exchange between Pacific peoples and through the complex processes of indigenous migration and settlement.
