Difficulties encountered in bringing order into the diversity of languages spoken in the Melanesianarea have been discussed in Indc-Pacific ftscicle One (1.1,' ). The lexicostatistic work brought together and inter- preted by Dyen (1963) pointsup the diversity in Melanesia, and supports one clear-cut classification, butone which might be expected to conflict with classifications postulatedon the basis of other kinds of evidence. Never- theless, we follow the Dyen classification at thisjuncture, as far as pos- sible. Our objective, however, is to bring together all the languagenames known for Melanesia thatare neither Papuan nor Polynesian, whileDyen restricted himself to Austronesian languages for whichhe had basic vocabulary lists.Where it is not possible to follow Dyen because Dyen does not include as many languages as we do,we superimpose the classification of others- - chiefly Capell and Gm-3e. Where Dyen does not include languages, there is of course no conflict in classifications. Where both Grace and. Dyen classify, and there is conflict in theirclassifications, we follow Dyen. awever, the resulting list of Austronesian languages whichis given here is not primarily concerned with choosingamong alternative classifications, but rather with extending a clear-cut classificationwhich includes few languages by adding to it other languages that probably fallin the same classification. We include names mentioned in the literature as summarized by Capell (1962) and Salzner (1960) with therealization that for some areas the proliferation of names may not even represent dialect differences. Certain languages are notedas being ungroupoi', and this refers to Dyenis use of the term ina special sense, according to which shared basic vocabulary of the language in question isinsufficient to establish a sub - relationship with any other Austronesian language in the given area under Indo-Pacific Fascicle Three discussion. We do not include in the list of languagesof Melanesia the languages of West New Guinea (West Irian: formerlyNetherlands New Guinea) becfmse lan- guages 'grouped' by Dyen in this area do not show their closest relationship with languages within Malanesia, and,because none of these languages are included in Grace's Eastern Malayo-Polynesian.These West New Guinea languages will appear in Inao-71acific fasciclesconcerned_ with Indonesia. The order of listing thatwe follow is oriented from west to east slanting from north to south, in general;in each particular area, however, the order of listing begins with the languageswhose classification is sup- ported by Dyen's lexicostatistics. Dyen's comparisons did not includeany word lists from the Admiralty Islands, north of Australian New Guinea,on which virtually no linguistic information has been published.Grace (1955) classifies the languages of the Admiralty Islands and the WesternIslands (Ninigo, etc.)lexceptAuaand WuvUlu)together as a subgroup of his 'EawbernMalayo-Polynesian' distinct from the subgroup consisting of Aua andWuvulu.The only available detailed clas- sification of the languages of the Admiralties is that prepared by.W.E. Smythe, Government Medical Officerat Manus for several years before 1949, citedbyCapell (1962).This classification is reproduced below, modified by the elimination of double classificationof certain names. Smythe's statement that "here were 23 languages spokenon Manus would seem to imply that he regarded the names grovel under eachof his 21 'types' on Manus to be dialects of the same languagei.e. his 'type' equals'language'. The difficulty of ( Obtaining figures for the number of speakersof each language is magnified by the tact (supplied also by Smythe) thatexcept on the islands of Aua (popula- 4 Anthropological Linguistics, Vol. 6,No.9 tion 230 in 1938). and Wuvulu (populat4^n251 in 1938) and the Ninigos (pop- ulation 261 in 1938) and in a dozen or so villageson the southeast coast of Mums with scattered settlementson other islands, a large part of the popu- lation now speaks Neo-Melanesian exclusivtly,and the tendency to replace the native languages with Neo-Melanesianis increasing.

Nishikawa Fax: +81-44-520-8720 PR in charge: Administration Dept. Uematsu Fax: +81-44-520-8710 JOGMEC provides equity financing for a rare metal exploration project in the Solomon Islands Japan Oil, Gas & Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC, President: Hirobumi Kawano), has provided equity capital finance of 30% to an exploration subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. (SMM, President: Nobumasa Iemori). The subsidiary has been established for the purpose of promoting a rare metal (nickel and cobalt) exploration project conducted in the Solomon Islands by SMM. SMM has conducted explorations in the Solomon Islands since obtaining exploration rights in 2006. According to the result of the explorations, potential of rare metal (nickel and cobalt) deposit has been recognized. JOGMEC has provided various types of supports so far, and now upon receiving the request by SMM we have decided to provide financing for the purpose of reducing country risk and providing technological support, with the aim of ensuring development proceeded. This is the first financing project for the metals resources sector of JOGMEC since it was established. JOGMEC plans to continue to provide active financing support to Japanese companies proceeding with exploration projects in overseas, in order to ensure a stable supply of metal and mineral resources. 1 ■Corporate Data ・Company name: Sumiko Solomon Exploration Co.,Ltd. ・Ownership/

    The Status of the Dugong (Dugon Dugon) in Vanuatu

    ORIGINAL: ENGLISH SOUTH PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME TOPIC REVIEW No. 37 THE STATUS OF THE DUGONG (DUGON DUGON) IN VANUATU M.R. Chambers, E.Bani and B.E.T. Barker-Hudson O.,;^, /ZO. ^ ll pUG-^Y^ South Pacific Commission Noumea, New Caledonia April 1989 UBHArt/ SOUTH PACIFIC COMMISSION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project was carried out to assess the distribution, abundance, cultural importance and threats to the dugong in Vanuatu. The study was carried out by a postal questionnaire survey and an aerial survey, commencing in October 1987. About 600 copies of the questionnaire were circulated in Vanuatu, and about 1000 kilometres of coastline surveyed from the air. Dugongs were reported or seen to occur in nearly 100 localities, including all the major islands and island groups of Vanuatu. The animals were generally reported to occur in small groups; only in three instances were groups of more than 10 animals reported. Most people reported that dugong numbers were either unchanged or were increasing. There was no evidence that dugongs migrate large distances or between islands in the archipelago, although movements may occur along the coasts of islands and between closely associated islands. Dugong hunting was reported from only a few localities, although it is caught in more areas if the chance occurs. Most hunting methods use traditional means, mainly the spear. Overall, hunting mortality is low, even in areas reported to regularly hunt dugongs. Accordingly, the dugong does not seem to be an important component of the subsistence diet in any part of Vanuatu, even though it is killed mainly for food.

    Check List of the Cicindelidae of Oceania

    CHECK LIST OF THE CICINDELIDAE OF OCEANIA By WALTHER HORN BeRNIcE P. BISHOP MuSEUM OCCASIONAL PAPERS VOLUM~: XII, NUMBER 6 HONOLULU, HAWAII PUBLISHED BY THE MUSEUM July 16, 1936 CHECK LIST OF THECICINDELIDAE OF OCEANIA By WALTHER HORN In the old literature Therates fasciatus flavilabris Fabricius and Cicindela heros Fabricius are mentioned as occurring in the Pacific. However these references are wrong: Therates occurs only in the Celebes and the Philippines, and Cicindela heros only in the Celebes. Cicindela taitensis Boheman was originally described from the So­ ciety Islands, but I discovered by studying Boheman's type it is merely the common neotropical CicindCla argentata Fabricius. I have no doubt that there are errors in the locality given for other species described by Boheman as coming from "Taiti" and brought back on the famous voyage of the Eugenie. No Cicindelas of New Zealand are known from the adjacent islands, Lord Howe, Norfolk, the Kermadecs, Chatham, Bounty, Antipodes, Campbell, Auckland, Macquarie, and Stewart. C. ezonata, described by Broun from New Zealand, is probably identical with the Fijian species, C. vitiens'/:s Blanchard. The locality, "Tule Island", is listed on page 8 but I do not know where in Oceania it is. Another locality, Duke of York Islands, has misled many entomologists, especially those who have recently worked on the Oceanic fauna. For many years I knew only that this citation did not refer to the Duke of York Islands in the Tokelau archipelago; I knew neither the collecting trip nor the source of the insects labeled "Duke of York". A short while ago I discovered that this locality was cited for insects in the catalogs of the Godeffroy Museum.

    Situation report issued by NDMO Vanuatu This report covers the period from 13 and 14 April 2015 To be added to the Vanuatu NDMO Situation Report distribution list please subscribe at: http://eepurl.com/bhm_Nr Highlights The Second Phase Harmonised Assessments Report is being finalised and will be released on 16 April. Coinciding with the recent rains in Port Vila, we have seen an increase in numbers of individuals approaching the NDMO directly requesting tarpaulins. Shelter Cluster partners are expediting the distribution of remaining tarpaulin stocks through the area councils in Port Vila to help meet the outstanding needs. Key shelter messaging has also been provided through various channels to try and improve information flow to affected communities. A one-off distribution of 2kg of rice per full time boarding student and 1kg of rice per half day student (students who only have lunch at school, not 3 meals) will be made to boarding schools in Tafea and Shefa. The FSAC has also assisted with the creation of a website to facilitate any groups or organisations who would like to provide additional assistance to schools. Education assessments have indicated that approximately 60,000 school-aged children starting from early childhood and care education, primary education and secondary education in Vanuatu are affected. The number of diarrhoea cases in Tanna is being closely monitored. 45 cases of acute fever and rash (AFR) have been reported on Erromango. A specialist health team will be sent to investigate.
