  • An Ichthyological Survey of the Sepik River, Papua New Guinea
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. Suppl. no. 34 An ichthyological survey of the Sepik River, Papua New Guinea Gerald R. Allen* and David Coatest Abstract A survey of the freshwater fishes of the Sepik River system of northern Papua New r Guinea was undertaken by the authors between 1978 and 1985 with the use of gill nets and rotenone, and also by monitoring catches at local villages and markets. We also include records of past expeditions, namely that of the Dutch naturalist Gjellerup in 1910 and the yacht Illyria in 1929. The total known freshwater fauna as reported herein consists of 57 species in 35 genera and 23 families. The fauna is typical of other sections of New Guinea and northern Australia in that it is dominated by catfishes (Ariidae and Plotosidae), rainbowfishes (Melanotaeniidae), gudgeons (Eleotrididae) and gobies (Gobiidae) which collectively comprise 57 percent of the total species. With the exception of 22 widely distributed species that are frequently estuarine dwellers and are confined to the lower Sepik, the fishes are strongly endemic, either to the Sepik-Ramu drainages (which interconnect during floods), or the "intermontane trough" composed of the combined Markham, Ramu, Sepik, and Mamberamo systems. Individual accounts, including brief descriptions and information pertaining to habitat, distribution and biology are included for each species. In addition illustrations are provided for many of the endemic species. Introduction Considering its size, high rainfall and consequent abundance of fresh water habitats, the inland fishes of New Guinea (the term New Guinea is used in this paper to refer to the geographic unit composed of Papua New Guinea and Irian ]aya) are poorly documented except for scattered localities and a more or less comprehensive treatment of melanotaeniid rainbowfishes (AlIen and Cross 1982).

    THE YAGANON PEOPLE OF THE RAI COAST ETHNOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL MAPPING STUDY revised edition RAMU NICKEL PROJECT prepared for Highlands Pacific Limited by JOHN BURTON Pacific Social Mapping PO Box 67 Thursday Island Queensland 4875 Australia 10 May 1999 revised and expanded edition October 2000 corrections November 2002 PREFACE Fieldwork for the The Yaganon people of the Rai Coast was undertaken for Highlands Pacific Limited from 17 Sep-3 Oct and 25 Oct-14 Nov 1998, and was based at the company‘s Basamuk Camp. This has now been supplemented by two shorter visits, 5-9 April and 30 April-10 May 1999, to address the circumstances of the acquisition of the Mindiri Plantation, also known as Basamuk. The study is confined to Ward 30 of the Rai Coast Local Level Government. Together with the inland wards centred on Orinma and Mebu, and adjacent areas to the east, I have adopted the overall name ‗Yaganon‘ following the designation by linguists of their languages as belonging to the Yaganon Family, and the designation by the government of their area as belonging to the Yaganon Census Division. Accompanied by Douglas Duka, at times by Tony Naguwean and Matias Gulas, and from the second period on by Tony Friend, I held many dozens of interviews with informants—from the villages of Kulilau, Ganglau, Mindre, Kubup, Segi, Dumon and Dein together with their satellite settlements. The interviews lasted anything from a few minutes to eight hours, and were usually held in the village. In November, though, a number of informants from distant places chose to come to the camp office to present information that I had not previously been able to obtain.

  • Australian Orchid Name Index (16/2/2007)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (16/2/2007) by Mark A. Clements and David L. Jones Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name.

  • Research on Sepik Pottery Traditions and Its Implications for Melanesian Prehistory V 33
    Traditions and its Implications for Melanesian Prehistory Christian Kaufmann Anthropologist This paper serves two objectives: - To give a brief report on the diversity of local styles of pottery manufacture and pot- tery decoration in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea, with a side look to the West Sepik Province as well as to the Madang Province, all on the northern mainland of New Guinea. The main emphasis is on results of ethnographic field research activi- ties in the years 1965 to 1967 and, to a lesser degree, in 19721. - To situate the conclusions drawn so far, partly published already in 1972, partly writ- ten up in an unpublished German study in 1981 to 19832 within a historical perspective of Sepik cultures as well as in the context of actual archaeological knowledge and theory (especially with reference to Swadling's most recent publication: Plumes from Paradise, 1995 and to Gorecki's findings). cf. Schuster, (M,), "Vorlaufiger Bericht uber die Sepik-Expedition 1965-1967 des Museums fur Volkerkunde zu Basel", Verhandl. Naturforsch. Gesellsch. Basel 78,1967: 268-281. Kaufmann, (C.)
