Volume Xxiii
ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology. -

Order Received to Supply 240 Train Cars for Philippines' Metro Manila Subway
Press Release December 21, 2020 Sumitomo Corporation Japan Transport Engineering Company Order Received to Supply 240 Train Cars for Philippines’ Metro Manila Subway First Subway Project in the Philippines Sumitomo Corporation (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and Chief Executive Officer: Masayuki Hyodo) and Japan Transport Engineering Company (Head Office: Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Takao Nishiyama; hereinafter, “J-TREC”) have received an order from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) of the Republic of the Philippines to supply 240 train cars for the contract package CP107 of the country’s Metro Manila Subway Project Phase 1 (between Quezon City in the north and Parañaque City in the south). The CP107 contract was signed on December 15, 2020. Sumitomo Corporation and J-TREC received this order following the order to supply 104 train cars for the North-South Commuter Railway Project in July 2019. In the Metropolitan Manila area, where the population continues to grow due to rapid economic growth, population concentration is causing traffic congestion and air pollution that are becoming more serious year by year. Building efficient and economical public transportation networks is a pressing issue. To fully develop its infrastructure, the Philippines government is promoting a large-scale infrastructure development plan called “Build Build Build,” in which the Metro Manila Subway Project is considered a core project. The CP107 project is to be undertaken as part of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) program of Japan based on a loan aid agreement between the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Philippines government. The Philippines’ first subway project (a total of 17 stations, including 13 underground stations, and covering approximately 36 kilometers) aims to connect the northern city of Quezon to the southern city of Parañaque in the Metropolitan Manila area. -

Calp Case Study Vouchers for Flood Relief in Cotobato City and Sultan Kudarat, ARMM, the Philippines Action Against Hunger / ACF International
CaLP Case Study Vouchers for flood relief in Cotobato city and Sultan Kudarat, ARMM, the Philippines Action Against Hunger / ACF international The Cash Learning Partnership In response to a rapid-onset emergency, Action Against Hunger / ACF International, with funding from AECID, implemented a cash transfer program in Cotobato City, situated in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao in the Philippines. The project established a cash voucher program through local supermarkets to provide flood-affected people with essential food and non-food items. The program also piloted the use of debit cards for the first time in the Philippines. 1 Humanitarian context Background Natural disasters, particularly typhoons, are a common occurrence in the Philippines. In May and June 2011 tropical storms brought heavy rains that forced the Rio Grande de Mindanao over its banks which led to extensive flooding in Cotabato City and Sultan Kudarat in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). As a result, more than 20,000 people were forced to seek refuge at evacuation centers (ECs) in the area. ACF began working in the Philippines in 2000 to aid persons displaced due to conflict in the ARMM. Clashes between the national government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a local separatist ACF responded to this disaster with a cash transfer group, have contributed to instability within this program (CTP). A small proportion of beneficiaries also region. Political tension in the ARMM influenced ACF’s received debit cards in lieu of paper vouchers. While programming, as did the limited amount of time they this was ACF Philippines’ first experience with a CTP had to plan and implement the program. -

Biology, Ecology, and Fishery of the Cross-Barred Grunt, Mesopristes Cancellatus in Mandulog River, Iligan City
Journal of Environment and Aquatic Resources. 2: 47-61 (2011) doi: 10.48031/msunjear.2011.02.05 Biology, Ecology, and Fishery of the Cross-barred Grunt, Mesopristes cancellatus in Mandulog River, Iligan City Policarpo L. Openiano Jr., Henry E. Dejarme, Alex B. Apongan and Alita E. Openiano Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Observations on the abundance and certain aspects of the biology, ecology, and fishery of the cross-barred grunt Mesopristes cancellatus in Mandulog river, Iligan City were carried out in 1991 to obtain necessary information for the development of culture technology of the species. Data were gathered from two study stations, Hinaplanon and Bayug, representing the upstream and downstream portions of the river. Biological aspects of the fish investigated were sex ratio, sexual maturity, fecundity, and gut content. Physico-chemical description of the river included water salinity, turbidity, velocity, pH, D.O. and substrate characteristics. A description of M. cancellatus fishery in Mandulog river was also undertaken in the study. Results indicate that M. cancellatus exhibited seasonal abundance apparently influenced by flooding and lunar phase. The fish occurred abundantly in the months of April to September but were not observed between January and March and between October and November. A total of 125 fish were collected within the period with weights ranging from 25-700g, dominated by medium- sized individuals with body weight ranging from 261-420g (64%) while small individuals (25-100g) occurred at a relatively lower frequency (27.4%). Sex ratios generally showed higher number of female than male fish, and gonadal maturity appeared to peak between April and May. -
