E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Paris Natural History Museum herpetological collection (MNHN-RA) has seven historical specimens of Brachylo- phus spp. collected late in the 18th and early in the 19th centuries. Brachylophus fasciatus was described in 1800 by Brongniart but its type was subsequently considered as lost and never present in MNHN-RA collections. We found that 220 year old holotype among existing collections, registered without any data, and we show that it was donated to MNHN- RA from Brongniart’s private collection after his death in 1847. It was registered in the catalogue of 1851 but without any data or reference to its type status. According to the coloration (uncommon midbody saddle-like dorsal banding pattern) and morphometric data given in its original description and in the subsequent examination of the type in 1802 by Daudin and in 1805 by Brongniart we found that lost holotype in the collections.

    THE JOURNAL OF THE POLYNESIAN SOCIETY VOLUME 127 No.3 SEPTEMBER 2018 VOICES ON THE WIND, TRACES IN THE EARTH: INTEGRATING ORAL NARRATIVE AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN POLYNESIAN HISTORY PATRICK VINTON KIRCH 2018 Nayacakalou Medal Recipient University of California, Berkeley The Polynesian peoples have long been noted for their propensity to encode the rich traditions of their ancestors in oral narrative accounts, often memorised by priests or other specialists, and passed down orally from generation to generation. Anthropologists refer to these as oral traditions, oral history or oral narratives, although they are also often categorised as “legend” or “myth”, terms that tend to dismiss their value as witnesses of real human affairs—that is to say, of history. In this lecture, I focus on a particular form of Polynesian oral narrative or oral history—one that is fundamentally chronological in its structure in that it is explicitly tied to a genealogical framework. Now I confess that I am not a specialist in oral tradition, a subject that is sometimes subsumed under the discipline of “folklore”. I am by training and by practice, over nearly half a century now, an archaeologist first and foremost. But I am also an anthropologist who believes in the holistic vision of that discipline as conceived by such disciplinary ancestors as Alfred Kroeber and Edward Sapir at the beginning of the 20th century. While this may make me something of a living fossil in the eyes of younger scholars who hew to narrower subdisciplinary paths, my holistic training and predilections incline me to see the value in working across and between the different branches of anthropology.

  • Australia-Oceania :: Wallis and Futuna (Overseas Collectivity of France) Introduction :: Wallis and Futuna
    The World Factbook Australia-Oceania :: Wallis and Futuna (overseas collectivity of France) Introduction :: Wallis and Futuna Background: The Futuna island group was discovered by the Dutch in 1616 and Wallis by the British in 1767, but it was the French who declared a protectorate over the islands in 1842, and took official control of them between 1886 and 1888. Notably, Wallis and Futuna was the only French colony to side with the Vichy regime during World War II, a phase that ended in May of 1942 with the arrival of 2,000 American troops. In 1959, the inhabitants of the islands voted to become a French overseas territory and officially assumed this status in July 1961.

  • The Vascular Plants of the Horne and Wallis Islands' HAROLD ST
    The Vascular Plants of the Horne and Wallis Islands' HAROLD ST. JOHN2 AND ALBERT C. SMITHs ABSTRACT: Recent botanical collections by H. S. McKee and Douglas E. Yen, together with the few available records from published papers, have been collated into a checklist of the known vascular plants of the Horne and Wallis Islands. Of 248 species here listed, 170 appear to be indigenous. Many of these are widespread, but 45 of them are limited to the Fijian Region (New Hebrides to Samoa) . Of the four known endemic species, Elatostema yenii St. John and Peperomia fllttmaensis St. John are herewith proposed as new, and a new combination in the fern genus Tbelypteris, by G. Brownlie, is included. THE HORNE AND WALLIS ISLANDS, forming Alofi, and Uvea, and it seems pertinent to bring the French Protectorat des Iles Wallis et Futuna, together the available data on the vascular plants lie to the northeast of Fiji, due west of Samoa, of the area.

  • Wallis and Futuna Islands Make up One of the Three French Overseas Territories in the Pacific
    Wallis et Futuna Status report PainoVanai Introduction Wallis and Futuna Islands make up one of the three French overseas territories in the Pacific. They are located 2000 km north of New Caledonia and 3500 km northwest of Tahiti. The territory com­ prises two distinct archipelagoes situated 240 km apart : the Wallis Islands and the Hom Archipelago composed of Futuna and Alofi. The Wallis Islands are made up of the main island U vea and 19 islets scattered throughout a lagoon which is 24 km long and 15 km wide. Futuna is high island without a lagoon and with a few areas of cliffs, surrounded by a fringing reef of varying width. Separated from Futuna by a channel of I 800 m width, Alofi is a high volcanic island surrounded by a variably devel­ 2 2 oped fringing reef. The surface area of land is small (2 I 5 km ) and coral reefs occupy about 300 km ; immerged reefs are found to the north of Wallis Island. The Exclusive Economic Zone of the territory covers 300 OOO km2• The climate is characterized by elevated mean temperatures (26 to 27°C), an average relative humid­ ity and a typically tropical rainfall pattern. The territory has a population of 15 OOO, equivalent to a density of 60 inhabitants/km2. Most of the population (74.4% of the active unemployed population) exploit marine resources for a significant part of their diet. Among reef resources, a large part is made up by fish, and shells and crustaceans to a lesser degree. The recent initiatives in favor of coral reefs both authorities aboutthe importance of these environments in the future development of the territory.

  • Wallis and Futuna : Status Report
    7. WALLIS AND FUTUNA : STATUS REPORT PAINO VANAI 1 - INTRODUCTION Wallis and Futuna Islands make up one of the three French overseas territories in the Pacific. They are located 2000 km north of New Caledonia and 3500 km northwest of Tahiti. The territory comprises two distinct archipelagoes situated 240 km apart : the Wallis Islands and the Horn Archipelago composed of Futuna and Alofi (Figure 1). The Wallis Islands are made up of the main island Uvea and 19 islets scattered throughout a lagoon which is 24 km long and 15 km wide. Futuna is high island without a lagoon and with a few areas of cliffs, surrounded by a fringing reef of varying width. Separated from Futuna by a channel of 1800 m width, Alofi is a high volcanic island surrounded by a variably developed fringing reef. The surface area of land is small (215 km2) and coral reefs occupy about 300 km2 ; immerged reefs are found to the north of Wallis Island. The Exclusive Economic Zone of the territory covers 300,000 km2. The climate is characterized by elevated mean temperatures (26 to 27°C), an average relative humidity and a typically tropical rainfall pattern. The territory has a population of 15,000, equivalent to a density of 60 inhabitants/km2. Most of the population (74.4% of the active unemployed population) exploit marine resources for a significant part of their diet. Among reef resources, a large part is made up by fish, and shells and crustaceans to a lesser degree. The recent initiatives in favor of coral reefs both at the national as well as the international level have raised the awareness of local authorities about the importance of these environments in the future development of the territory.
