  • Rare and Curious Specimens, an Illustrated
    Krefft's successor, Edward Pierson Ramsay (1842-1916), was the first Australian to head the Museum. Son of a prosperous medical practitioner whose assets included the Dobroyd Estate, he grew up in Sydney and, at the age of twenty-one, entered the University of Sydney, itself only twelve years old, with a single faculty and but three professors. He departed two years later without having taken a degree and, at the age of twenty-five established a successful plant and seed nursery on a portion of the Dobroyd Estate inherited from his father. Seven years later, in 1874, he was appointed curator of the Australian Museum. While it is conceivable that such a background might have fitted a native son for a junior position in the Herbarium, it would seem hardly to have provided ade­ quate preparation for the senior position in an institution devoted to zoology, geology and anthropology and with some international standing for researches in these fields. One must look further for justification of the trustees' faith. As a youth, his keen interest in natural history was cultivated in discussions with Pittard, Sir William Denison, and a German schoolteacher-naturalist, Reitmann. At twenty he became treasurer of the Entomological Society of New South Wales and three years later was elected a Life Fellow of the newly reconstituted Royal Society of New South Wales-an honour which may have more reflected the magnitude of his subscription than his scientific reputation which, at that stage, rested on eight short and rather pedestrian papers on Australian birds. This output might not have justified fellowship of a scientific society but it was a creditable achievement for an undergraduate.

  • Page 1 Sydney Harbour: Its Diverse Biodiversity Pat A. Hutchings
    Sydney Harbour: its diverse biodiversity Pat A. Hutchings, Shane T. Ahyong, Michael B. Ashcroft, Mark A. McGrouther and Amanda L. Reid The Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010 All records of crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms and fishes from Sydney Harbour were extracted from the Australian Museum database, and plotted onto a map of Sydney Harbour that was divided into four regions. Records were analysed according to the number of species, genera and families present and over 3000 species were recorded, approximately double to triple the number of species found in the neighbouring Hawkesbury River, Botany Bay and Port Hacking. We examined the rate of accumulation of records and species over time since the 1860s, which followed a stepwise pattern usually correlated with the research activity of specific curators at the Australian Museum. The high species richness of Sydney Harbour is probably the result of multiple factors including significant tidal flushing and the high diversity of habitats present. Not all parts of the harbour have been well sampled, however, and we highlight areas and habitats that should be prioritised for further biodiversity surveys. An Appendix is provided listing all species in the five groups of animals considered here. The present study highlights the remarkable richness of the Sydney Harbour fauna and provides a consolidated background to guide future management and research, and emphasises the values of museum collections. ABSTRACT Key words: Sydney Harbour, diversity, crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms, fishes http://dx.doi.org/10.7882/AZ.2012.031 Introduction Sydney Harbour is a drowned river valley that formed area of about 50 km2 and a total catchment of 500 km2 during a rise in sea level approximately 10,000 years (Birch and McCready 2009).

  • Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
    Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.

  • Steam Trawling on the South-East Continental Shelf of Australia an Environmental History of Fishing, Management and Science in NSW, 1865 – 1961
    Steam trawling on the south-east continental shelf of Australia An environmental history of fishing, management and science in NSW, 1865 – 1961 Submitted to fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania Anne Lif Lund Jacobsen August 2010 Abstract As many of the world‘s fish stocks are fully or over-exploited there is an urgent need for governments to provide robust fisheries management. However, governments are often slow to implement necessary changes to fisheries practices. The will to govern is an essential factor in successful marine resource management. Studies of historical documents from State and Commonwealth fisheries authorities involved in the steam trawl fishery on the south-east continental shelf of Australia illustrate different expressions of intentional management and how a more ecological responsible view has emerged. Motivated by Sydney‘s insufficient supplies of fish, the objective of early fisheries management in the state of New South Wales (NSW) was to improve the industry. Driven by state developmentalism, efforts were focused on increasing the productivity of already existing coastal fisheries through fisheries legislation, marine hatching and marketing. As this failed, an alternative development vision emerged of exploiting the untouched resources on the continental shelf, which at the time were believed to be inexhaustible. During 1915 to 1923 the NSW Government pioneered steam trawling on the shelf through the State Trawling Industry with the aim of providing the public with an affordable supply of fish. Although an economic failure, the State Trawling Industry paved the way for a private steam trawling industry.

FULTON1, 2 1Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science, University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia; and 2Environmental and Conservation Sciences, Murdoch University, South Street, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia.Email: [email protected] Published on 20 July 2021 at https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/LIN/index Fulton, G. (2021). A detailed report on the birds collected on the Chevert Expedition to New Guinea, in 1875. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 143, 9-36. The birds collected on the Chevert Expedition in 1875 are reported and discussed on the basis of information published in the two seminal papers of George Masters, Edward Pierson Ramsay and unreported specimens found in the Macleay Museum. In addition, the private journals of Lawrence Hargrave and William Macleay, old newspaper articles and the literature emanating from the expedition were searched. The Chevert Expedition collected: at sea, on islands off the Queensland coast, on Torres Strait islands and New Guinea. A total of 877 individual birds, of 193 species are listed and discussed. This total number includes 84 specimens not previously reported plus 6 sight records of species that were not collected. The history of the imprudent and perfi dious management of specimens held by the Macleay Museum, at The University of Sydney, is also reported. In particular, an account of the 36 type specimens, representing 10 species, is given. Most of the surviving types are currently held at The Australian Museum on permanent loan, 12 have been lost and misplaced with 4 of them found in this study.
