Otto Finsch (1839–1917) Museum of Ethnology, Vienna May 16, 2012 – October 8, 2012 Friedrich Hermann Otto Finsch, born August 8, 1839 in Warmbrunn, Silesia, became a well-known naturalist, ethnographer, and colonial explorer in an age shared with other famous German scientists and explorers such as Hermann Schlegel, Gustav Hartlaub, Alfred E. Brehm, Eduard Dallmann, Richard Andree, Rudolf Virchow, Franz Boas, Adolf Bastian, and Felix von Luschan. Along with his early interests in ornithology, Finsch became an assistant curator at the Museum of Natural History in Leiden, The Netherlands, from 1862 through 1864, where he was trained by the ornithologist H. Schlegel (1804–1884) in the study of birds of Southeast Asia and New Guinea. In 1864, with the recommendation of naturalist G. Hartlaub (1814–1900), Finsch became curator at the Museum of the Natural History Association in Bremen. In 1876, he accompanied zoologist A. E. Brehm (1829– 1884) on an expedition to Turkestan and Northwest China. With financial support from the Humboldt Foundation in Berlin, Finsch led his first South Sea Expedition to Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia and Australia from 1879 through 1882. His second expedition to the Pacific (1884–1885) was financed and operated by a group of wealthy German traders, entrepreneurs, and businessmen with colonial interests in Northeast New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. Otto Finsch was appointed “Imperial Commissioner” to establish a German Protectorate in the northeastern part of New Guinea (called “Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land”), and the “Bismarck Archipelago” by famous German statesman Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898), who became the first Chancellor of the German Empire under Prussian leadership from 1871 to 1890. The capital of the German Colony, a seaport on the northeast coast of mainland New Guinea, was named Finschhafen. Thousands of zoological specimens and ethnographic objects, as well as hundreds of human skulls and bones from Micronesia and Melanesia, were collected by Otto Finsch. Consistent with the colonial ideology and scientific perceptions of the late 19th century, he registered, measured, photographed, and did castings of indigenous men and women from the Pacific islands for the purpose of racial research. After his return to Bremen, he spent ten years (1886–1896) carefully documenting his collections and publishing his research work in scientific books, exhibition catalogues, lectures, newsletters, magazines, and newspapers. During these years, he sold most of his privately-collected ethnographic artifacts and zoological preserves to European, Russian, and American museums. Like his father Moritz Finsch, who was a trained draftsman and glass painter, he used his artistic skills to produce sketches, drawings, watercolor paintings, and photographs of Pacific islanders, landscapes, houses, settlements, clothing, tools, weapons, masks, and carved figures. In 1886, Otto Finsch married his second wife, Elisabeth Hoffman, daughter of the skilled artist Moritz Wilhelm Hoffman (1823–1896). Elisabeth and his assistant, Anna Strohmeyer at Brunswick Municipal Museum, and his father-in-law, Moritz W. Hoffman, supported his documentary and publication work in many ways. Finsch returned to Leiden to become the Chief Curator of the Ornithological Collections of the Museum of Natural History from 1897 to 1904. In 1904, he moved back to Germany to accept the position of Chief Conservator, and from 1914 to 1917, the directorship of the Ethnological Collections at the Municipal Museum in Brunswick (Braunschweig), dying there on January 31, 1917. The exhibition places the scientific legacy of German explorer, naturalist, and ethnographer Otto Finsch into the ideological context of 19th century anthropological scholarship and German colonial interests in the Pacific. From his two South Sea Expeditions (1879–1882 and 1884–1885) focusing on the Marshall, Gilbert, and Caroline Islands, the Bismarck- Archipelago, and the eastern part of mainland New Guinea, Otto Finsch brought back to Europe excellent records of his scientific work and a rich collection of ethnographic artifacts. Twenty-six handwritten diaries, field notes, object catalogues, native language word lists, sketches, drawings and (anthropometric) photographs are stored in the archives of the Vienna Museum of Ethnology. About 2000 ethnographic objects from Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia and Australia, such as implements, weapons, shell money, as well as adornment and ritual objects reflect masterful craftsmanship and outstandingly skilled artistry.

The cultures found along the river and its tributaries produced objects and architectures that astonished by the impressive diversity of their forms. This creativity has motivated numerous studies with no end in sight so rich is the material, as attested by the articles collected in the present volume. 2 Most of the articles were first presented at a conference organized by the musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac in the autumn of 2015.

  • An Inventory of Major European Bird Collections by C
    C.S. Roselaar 253 Bull. B.O.C. 2003 123A An inventory of major European bird collections by C. S. Roselaar Introduction During a Round Table Discussion convened by Dr Walter Bock and Dr Henri Ouellet at the XXI International Ornithological Congress in Vienna, 20–25 August 1994, a number of staff members of European ornithological collections expressed the opinion that more cooperation among them was desirable. Many museums suffer from shrinking budgets, making improvement, maintenance, or even access to the collections difficult. Maintaining the world’s biodiversity is of major concern among biologists at the moment, and although this concern is also acknowledged by various governments it has not resulted in any additional support for museum ornithology. Bird collections form a rich source of biodiversity data. Taxonomic information in regional and global handbooks can only be extracted from museum collections. Morphometric data taken from skins of various populations are of importance for unravelling migration patterns for instance. Population studies profit from collections of specimens of known age and sex. Reference collections for identification and training will always be needed, both for laymen (e.g. rarity committees) and scientists (e.g. as help in enforcement of CITES and other national and international nature conservation legislation, for the statistics of bird/aircraft collisions, archaeology, and in ecological studies). Recently, bird skins or feathers have acquired additional relevance as a source of DNA for phylogenetic and population studies. Biochemical data have become a major source of phylogenetic information, from the level of populations up to the level of phyla, but can only be interpreted with reference to collections of entire organisms.

  • Experience« of Nature: from Salomon Müller to Ernst Mayr, Or the Lnsights of Travelling Naturalists Toward a Zoological Geography and Evolutionary Biology*
    Die Entstehung biologischer Disziplinen II -Beiträge zur 10. Jahrestagung der DGGTB The »Experience« of Nature: From Salomon Müller to Ernst Mayr, Or The lnsights of Travelling Naturalists Toward a Zoological Geography and Evolutionary Biology* Matthias GLAUBRECHT (Berlin) Zusammenfassung Wir beurteilen die Theorien und Beiträge früherer Autoren auf der Grundlage ihrer Relevanz für den heutigen Erkenntnisgewinn. Mit Blick auf die oftmals unzureichende Klärung der präzisen geographi­ schen Herkunft von Materialproben bei nicht wenigen molekulargenetisch-phylogeographischen Studi­ en (die an aktuellen Arbeiten demonstriert wird), soll die Bedeutung der geographischen »Erfahrung« (im doppelten Wortsinn) - am Beispiel der Erforschung des australasiatischen Raumes - untersucht werden. Anfangs dominierten von staatlicher Seite initiierte bzw. finanzierte Forschungsreisen. Dazu zählen im Gefolge von James CooKS Fahrten durch den Indo-Pazifik beispielsweise die im frühen 19. Jahrhun­ dert von Naturforschern wie QUOY, ÜAIMARD, LESSON, HUMBRON und JACQUINOT begleiteten franzö• sischen Expeditionen der L 'Uranie, La Coquille und L 'Astrolabe sowie die britischen Expeditionen der Beagle oder der Rattlesnake mit Naturforschern wie DARWIN oder MACGILLIVRAY und HUXLEY. Dazu zählt auch die holländische Expedition der Triton, an der der aus Deutschland stammende Naturforscher Salomon MOLLER (1804-1864) teilnahm, der Jahrzehnte vor Alfred Russe! WALLACE (1823-1913) scharfe Faunendifferenzen im indomalayischen Archipel erkannte und beschrieb. Während diese Forschungsfahrten vorwiegend strategisch-militärische bzw. merkantile Ziele ver­ folgten, wurde die naturkundliche Erforschung im späteren 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert insbeson­ dere von allein reisenden »naturalists« betrieben, wie etwa von W ALLACE, Otto FINSCH (1839-1917) und Richard SEM ON ( 1859-1918), der sich später Expeditionen wie beispielsweise von Erwin STRESEMANN (1889-1972), Bernhard RENSCH (1900-1990) und Ernst MAYR (geb.
