It further purports to be an up-to-date list of all the Birds now known from Borneo and, by the inclusion of brief descriptions, offers an introduction to Bor¬ nean Ornithology. Tiie Sarawak Museum Collection of Bornean Birds. The collection amounts to over 4,000 bird-skins representing about 420 different species. The majority are stored as a reference collection, but two extensive series are placed on exhibition on the Ground-floor of the Museum. These are : (i) The classified collection, contained in eight large glass-fronted teak-wood cases, numbered 1 to 4 and 4 a to 4 d. One example of each species for where the sexes differ, one.of. each sex) is Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries exhibited, and all are arranged in a certain order commencing with the Game-birds in Case i to the Accipitrine birds in Case 4, and continued by the Coraciiform birds in Case 4a down to the Passerine Birds which fill cases 4c and 4d. Below- each bird a label is placed giving the Latin name, English name and in some cases the native (Malay or Sea-Dayak) name. Before the Latin name is placed the number to which reference is made in this Guide. As far as the Museum collections can provide the material, every species of bird yet recorded from Borneo will be exhibited here. At present some 420 species are placed on exhibition. (ii) The grouped series are arranged 111 cases of different sizes, numbered 5 to 33. In these groups one case is devoted to the Kingfishers, another to the Hawks and Eagles, a third to the Pigeons, etc., etc. Each case bears a number to which reference is made in this Guide. The names of the birds (in Latin and English) are attached to each case, together with a small outline map of the world, coloured to show the geographical distri¬ bution of each group. These maps were prepared by the late Mr. Shelford, formerly Curator of this Museum. The Birds of Borneo. In this Guide 571 species are enumerated, from which 8 must be deducted as forms wrongly recorded from Borneo or insufficiently distinct to merit separation from allied forms. More work will probably reduce the total still further. On the other hand, migrants from the north are likely to be added, so that our total will remain much the same. We may say therefore that 570 different Birds are known in Borneo. They are distributed over 2d Natural Orders and 69 Families. Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries The arrangement followed is that of the British Museum Hand-List of Birds, 1899—1909. As in that list, the artificial system of binomials has been adopted in preference to the more up-to-date trinomial system, by which we gain some insight into the interesting problems of geographical dis¬ tribution. However, this latter system, so far as the Birds of this region are concerned, is still in a transient stage, so no good can be gained by bur¬ dening the reader with an extra set of names, which are. incidentally, of doubtful permanent value. For this reason it is a little difficult to give anything like precise figures to indicate the geo¬ graphical distribution of Bornean species. The following points, however, stand out clearly and are worth remembering Hardly any distinct and well-defined genera or species are peculiar to Borneo. The great majority of species with restricted range are confined to the three countries—Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. At no great distant geological period these three countries were united to form one connected land, which I have called Neomalaya. This one region has a, bird-fauna peculiarly its own, which may be characterized as true Malayan, i. e., the source of Malayan elements in the bird-fauna of neighbour¬ ing countries. The next important feature is the general East Indian element, which is shown by a great number of birds ranging from the Himalayas south through the Malay Peninsula to the three Greater Sunda Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries Isles (Borneo, Sumatra and Java), to the Phi¬ lippines and in lesser degree to Celebes and the Lesser Sunda Isles. The Australian region has only a few straggling representatives in Borneo. During certain months of the year the numbers of true Bornean Birds are swelled by visitors. These all come from the North ; and we can dis¬ tinguish two lines of migration—one continental, from Siberia, South China and the Eastern Hima¬ layas, and the other .further East, from Japan. Formosa, and the Philippines. We have also occasional stragglers from neighbouring countries e.g. from Java to South Borneo, from Palawan to North Borneo. Although Bornean Birds have hardly any charac¬ ter peculiarly their own, a great many show very slight, but constant, differences which are sufficient to distinguish them from their close allies in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. It may be a slightly different shade of colour, a greater exten¬ sion of one colour on the throat or breast for instance, or perhaps a very slight but regular difference in size, etc., etc. These small differences have been evolved since the breaking up of Neo- malaya into the three countries we know to-day as Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. In these countries we find further local differ¬ ences, thus a mountain form of one species is often seen to be regularly different from its lowland brother. Similarly, differences are noted between individuals of one species coming from different parts of Borneo, e.g. from North Borneo and from Western Sarawak. But in some cases intermedi¬ ate forms occur in the country between, so we are not yet justified in considering such species or local races as distinct. We can only note that there is a tendency for the individuals of a species in different parts of Borneo to show local differences.

  • Borneo: Broadbills & Bristleheads
    TROPICAL BIRDING Trip Report: BORNEO June-July 2012 A Tropical Birding Set Departure Tour BORNEO: BROADBILLS & BRISTLEHEADS RHINOCEROS HORNBILL: The big winner of the BIRD OF THE TRIP; with views like this, it’s easy to understand why! 24 June – 9 July 2012 Tour Leader: Sam Woods All but one photo (of the Black-and-yellow Broadbill) were taken by Sam Woods (see http://www.pbase.com/samwoods or his blog, LOST in BIRDING http://www.samwoodsbirding.blogspot.com for more of Sam’s photos) 1 www.tropicalbirding.com Tel: +1-409-515-0514 E-mail: [email protected] TROPICAL BIRDING Trip Report: BORNEO June-July 2012 INTRODUCTION Whichever way you look at it, this year’s tour of Borneo was a resounding success: 297 bird species were recorded, including 45 endemics . We saw all but a few of the endemic birds we were seeking (and the ones missed are mostly rarely seen), and had good weather throughout, with little rain hampering proceedings for any significant length of time. Among the avian highlights were five pitta species seen, with the Blue-banded, Blue-headed, and Black-and-crimson Pittas in particular putting on fantastic shows for all birders present. The Blue-banded was so spectacular it was an obvious shoe-in for one of the top trip birds of the tour from the moment we walked away. Amazingly, despite absolutely stunning views of a male Blue-headed Pitta showing his shimmering cerulean blue cap and deep purple underside to spectacular effect, he never even got a mention in the final highlights of the tour, which completely baffled me; he simply could not have been seen better, and birds simply cannot look any better! However, to mention only the endemics is to miss the mark, as some of the, other, less local birds create as much of a stir, and can bring with them as much fanfare.

  • BORNEO: Bristleheads, Broadbills, Barbets, Bulbuls, Bee-Eaters, Babblers, and a Whole Lot More
    BORNEO: Bristleheads, Broadbills, Barbets, Bulbuls, Bee-eaters, Babblers, and a whole lot more A Tropical Birding Set Departure July 1-16, 2018 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos by Ken Behrens TOUR SUMMARY Borneo lies in one of the biologically richest areas on Earth – the Asian equivalent of Costa Rica or Ecuador. It holds many widespread Asian birds, plus a diverse set of birds that are restricted to the Sunda region (southern Thailand, peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo), and dozens of its own endemic birds and mammals. For family listing birders, the Bornean Bristlehead, which makes up its own family, and is endemic to the island, is the top target. For most other visitors, Orangutan, the only great ape found in Asia, is the creature that they most want to see. But those two species just hint at the wonders held by this mysterious island, which is rich in bulbuls, babblers, treeshrews, squirrels, kingfishers, hornbills, pittas, and much more. Although there has been rampant environmental destruction on Borneo, mainly due to the creation of oil palm plantations, there are still extensive forested areas left, and the Malaysian state of Sabah, at the northern end of the island, seems to be trying hard to preserve its biological heritage. Ecotourism is a big part of this conservation effort, and Sabah has developed an excellent tourist infrastructure, with comfortable lodges, efficient transport companies, many protected areas, and decent roads and airports. So with good infrastructure, and remarkable biological diversity, including many marquee species like Orangutan, several pittas and a whole Borneo: Bristleheads and Broadbills July 1-16, 2018 range of hornbills, Sabah stands out as one of the most attractive destinations on Earth for a travelling birder or naturalist.

Abstract The breeding biology of the Blue-eared Kingfisher Alcedo meninting was studied in Ratnagiri District, Maharashtra, India, between 2012 and 2015. Thirteen clutches of four pairs were studied. Its breeding season extended from June till September. Pairs excavated tunnels ranging in lengths from 18 to 30 cm, with nest entrance diameters varying from 5.3 to 6.0 cm. The same pair probably reuse a nest across years. A typical clutch comprised six eggs. The incubation period was 21 days (20–23 days), while fledgling period was 23 days (20–27 days). Almost 40% of the nests were double-brooded, which ratio probably depends on the strength of the monsoon. Of 75 eggs laid, 66 hatched (88%), of which 60 fledged (90.9%; a remarkable breeding success of 80%. Introduction and not phillipsi. It is also found in the Andaman Islands (A.

  • Language Use and Attitudes As Indicators of Subjective Vitality: the Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia
    Vol. 15 (2021), pp. 190–218 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24973 Revised Version Received: 1 Dec 2020 Language use and attitudes as indicators of subjective vitality: The Iban of Sarawak, Malaysia Su-Hie Ting Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Andyson Tinggang Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Lilly Metom Universiti Teknologi of MARA The study examined the subjective ethnolinguistic vitality of an Iban community in Sarawak, Malaysia based on their language use and attitudes. A survey of 200 respondents in the Song district was conducted. To determine the objective eth- nolinguistic vitality, a structural analysis was performed on their sociolinguistic backgrounds. The results show the Iban language dominates in family, friend- ship, transactions, religious, employment, and education domains. The language use patterns show functional differentiation into the Iban language as the “low language” and Malay as the “high language”. The respondents have positive at- titudes towards the Iban language. The dimensions of language attitudes that are strongly positive are use of the Iban language, Iban identity, and intergenera- tional transmission of the Iban language. The marginally positive dimensions are instrumental use of the Iban language, social status of Iban speakers, and prestige value of the Iban language. Inferential statistical tests show that language atti- tudes are influenced by education level. However, language attitudes and useof the Iban language are not significantly correlated. By viewing language use and attitudes from the perspective of ethnolinguistic vitality, this study has revealed that a numerically dominant group assumed to be safe from language shift has only medium vitality, based on both objective and subjective evaluation.

Banks Bird and Mammal Laboratories Division of Wildlife Research Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Special Scientific Report —Wildlife No. 164 Washington, D.C. February 1973 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402-Price $1.25 domestic postpaid, or $1 GPO Bookstore Stock Number 2410-00345 ABSTRACT Birds imported into the United States in 1970 are tabulated by species and the numbers are compared to those for 1968 and 1969. The accuracy of this report is believed to be substantially greater than for the previous years. The number of birds imported in 1970 increased by about 45 percent over 1969, but much of that increase results from more extensive declarations of domestic canaries. Importation of birds other than canaries increased by about 11 percent, with more than half of that increase accounted for by psittacine birds. More than 937,000 individuals of 745 species were imported in 1970. This report tallies imported birds by the country of origin. Eleven nations account for over 95 percent of all birds imported.

    BORNEO JULY 11–29, 2019 Extreme close views on our tour of this fantastic Black-and-yellow Broadbill (Photo M. Valkenburg) LEADER: MACHIEL VALKENBURG LIST COMPILED BY: MACHIEL VALKENBURG VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM BY MACHIEL VALKENBURG Borneo, Borneo, magical Borneo! This was my fourth trip to Sabah and, as always, it was a pleasure to bird the third largest island of the world. As in many rainforests, the birding can be tricky, and sometimes it means standing and looking at bushes within distance of a faint call from the desired jewel. Sometimes it took quite some patience to find the birds, but we did very well and were lucky with many good views of the more difficult birds of the island. Our group flew in to Kota Kinabalu, where our journey began. During the first part of the tour we focused on the endemic-rich Kinabalu mountain, which we birded from the conveniently located Hill Lodge right at the park entrance. After birding the cool mountains, we headed with pleasure for the tropical Sabah lowlands, with Sepilok as our first stop followed by the Kinabatangan River and Danum Valley Rainforest. The Kinabatangan River is a peat swamp forest holding some very special fauna and flora. Tall dipterocarps dominate the forests of Sepilok and Danum; we did very well in finding the best birds on offer in all places visited. We had 30-minute walkaway views of the superb Whitehead’s Broadbill (photo M.Valkenburg) In the Kinabalu park we walked some trails, but mostly we birded and walked easily along the main road through this gorgeous forest filled with epiphytes and giant tree-ferns.
