  • Joint Symposium on Maize and Peanut. Held in Surineme on Behalf of the 75Th Anniversary of the Agricultural Experiment Station of Paramaribo
    Joint symposium on maize and peanut. Held in Surineme on behalf of the 75th Anniversary of The Agricultural Experiment Station of Paramaribo. November 13 - 18, 1978 Proceedings of the Caribbean Food Crops Society. Vol. XV, 1978 ECONOMIC ASPECTS MICRO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PEANUT PRODUCTION IN SURINAME IN RELATION TO IMPORT - SUBSTITUTION A.W. Graanoogst INTRODUCTION In Suriname peanut is grown as a regular crop: smalt plots of 0.04 —0.20 ha are planted 2 (sometimes 3 times) a year on the sandy ridges of the coastal plain. Main production areas are the Saramacca district and the Commewijne district. Total acreage planted amounted 242 ha in 1976 with a production of 290 tons dry pulses. Production is used for preparing salted and unsalted peanuts and peanut-sauce: a small part is manufactured into pea nut-butter. As local production still does not meet national demand an amount of 446 tons of shelled peanuts are imported mainly for the peanut-factories (in 1977). PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS Although the planted plots are of a small acreage the used practices show a shifting from the traditional system where all operations (were done by hand and simple implements) to a lightly mechanized system. Seed-bed preparation of the greater part of the acreage is done by 2-wheel tractors. All further field operations such as seeding, ridging, weeding and pulling are done by hand and simple implement: sun-drying is generally practiced. Recent experiments on weedcontrol by spraying with herbicides has shown to be succesful. Efforts are undertaken by extension to get peanut-farmers aquainted with this new system of weed control thus enabling a further decrease of total labor costs in peanut growing.

  • A Revision of the South American Fishes of the Genus Nannostomus Giinther (Family Lebiasinidae)
    A Revision of the South American Fishes of the Genus Nannostomus Giinther (Family Lebiasinidae) STANLEY H. WEITZMAN and J. STANLEY COBB SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 186 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

  • Suriname En Curasao, Zoals Een Arbeidersleider Die Zag
    SURINAME EN CURASAO, ZOALS EEN ARBEIDERSLEIDER DIE ZAG DOOR F. P. FUYKSCHOt De Gouverneur van Suriname richtte een uitnodiging tot de drie bekende arbeidersvakcentralen in Nederland; Het Neder- lands Verbond van Vakverenigingen (N.V.V.), de Katholieke Arbeidersbeweging (K.A.B.) en het Christelijk Nationaal Vak- verbond in Nederland (C.N.V.) om een vertegenwoordiger naar Suriname af te vaardigen ten einde van advies te dienen aan- gaande de vraag hoe de Overheid de opbouw van een gezonde vakbeweging kan bevorderen, voorts om bestaande of nog te stichten verenigingen van advies te dienen omtrent hun organi- saties en een vruchtbare wijze van samenwerking tussen werk- gevers en werknemers voor te bereiden. De genoemde Neder- landse Vakverbonden stelden elk een hunner bestuurders be- schikbaar en wel respectievelijk de heren J. G. Suurhoff, H. J. Kuiper en F. P. Fuykschot. Deze drie vakbondsbestuurders vertrokken op 4 October 1948 per vliegtuig naar Suriname. De duur van hun bezoek was tevoren niet vastgesteld.maar op ongeveer drie maanden werd wel gerekend. In overleg met de Gouverneur bepaalden zij hun vertrek op 24 November, daar zij meenden met hun werk gereed te zijn en in staat een rapport uit te brengen. Drie dagen voor hun vertrek ontvingen zij een schriftelijke uitnodiging van de Gouverneur van de Nederlandse Antillen om ook in dat gebiedsdeel enige tijd door te brengen, de sociale verhoudingen aldaar te bestuderen en het Gouvernement van advies te dienen. Om verschillende redenen kon het bezoek aan de Nederlandse Antillen slechts twee weken duren. Op 6 December verlieten zij Curacao om naar Nederland terug te keren.

  • The Marine Mollusca of Suriname (Dutch Guiana) Holocene and Recent
    THE MARINE MOLLUSCA OF SURINAME (DUTCH GUIANA) HOLOCENE AND RECENT Part II. BIVALVIA AND SCAPHOPODA by G. O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden "The student must know something of syste- matic work. This is populary supposed to be a dry-as-dust branch of zoology. In fact, the systematist may be called the dustman of biol- ogy, for he performs a laborious and frequently thankless task for his fellows, and yet it is one which is essential for their well-being and progress". Maud D. Haviland in: Forest, steppe and tundra, 1926. CONTENTS Ι. Introduction, systematic survey and page references 3 2. Bivalvia and Scaphopoda 7 3. References 86 4. List of corrections of Part I 93 5. Plates 94 6. Addendum 100 1. INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F. Augustinus for having provided many new coastal records for several species.

    ZOOLOGISCHE MEDEDELINGEN UITGEGEVEN DOOR HET RIJKSMUSEUM VAN NATUURLIJKE HISTORIE TE LEIDEN (MINISTERIE VAN CULTUUR, RECREATIE EN MAATSCHAPPELIJK WERK) Deel 48 no. 8 16 mei 1974 THE LAND PROSOBRANCHIA OF SURINAME WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF NEOCYCLOTUS by C. O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie With 3 plates Vernhout (1914) was the first to publish an account of the land and fresh- water Mollusca of Suriname. In this publication he assembled not only the older literature in which species were mentioned from Suriname, but also he named the Mollusca collected by seven expeditions and some travellers, and included in his paper the material which W. C. van Heurn collected during his trip in 1911. So he laid a sound basis for future investigations. In the present paper only the land Prosobranchia are treated. On this matter, so far as I know, only one paper has been published since 1914. This paper (Altena, 1960) mentioned Lucidella lirata (Pfeiffer) from Tamba- redjo and Sidoredjo in the Saramacca district. The Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie received specimens from Suri- name from many persons to whom I am much indebted for their cooperation. Thanks are also due to Mr. H. E. Coomans who sent me the specimens on loan, which were collected in 1926 by D. L. Fernandes. Here follows a list which mentions in chronological sequence the collectors with the months and the years in which they collected, together with the abbreviations under which they are mentioned in the text.
