Ent. n.º 228 (VIII-14): 258-292, 2013 INTRODUÇÃO CRAWFORD-CABRAL & MESQUITELA (1989) were the first authors to report in detail and as a whole a wide series of Angolan localities where zoological captures and/or observations were accomplished; however, their contribution concerned exclusively collecting localities of terrestrial Vertebrates. It was based in the abundant data reported by several explorers and registered in the course of several biological missions, as well as in the study of more recent zoological series deposited in several institutions, the Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (IICT) included. Joaquim José da Silva, F. Welwitsch, J. J. Monteiro, J. A. de Anchieta, H. Capello e R. Ivens, F. Newton, W. J. Ansorge, A. Monard, A. de Barros Machado, F. Frade, A. Rosa Pinto and J. Crawford- Cabral himself, are very important names among those that were responsible by the knowledge of the Angolan fauna and which collecting data are the base of that contribution. A number of zoological missions were also reported, from the German Expedition to the Loango (1873-1876) and the Rohan-Chabot Mission (1912-1914) to that organized by the Cape Town University and Wild Life Society in 1974, and the activity developed by the Portuguese missions was also enhanced: the Portuguese Missão do Centro de Zoologia da Junta de Investigações do Ultramar (today IICT), the Secções de Mamalogia e de Ornitologia do Instituto de Investigação Científica de Angola and the Instituto de Investigação Médica de Angola (this one concerning plague vectors and its Vertebrates potential hosts). Indeed, papers previous to CRAWFORD-CABRAL & MESQUITELA (op. cit.) contribution are either fragmentary, concerning one only zoological group as it happens with the Angolan birds (TRAYLOR, 1962), the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) (e.g., RAMOS & RIBEIRO, 1975, RIBEIRO & RAMOS, 1973, 1975) or the fleas (Siphonaptera) and their vertebrate hosts (RIBEIRO, 1974) or partial results of entomological Missions (e.g., MONARD et al., 1956) or even they are based in non actualized maps which reported coordinates that are far from correct, as it happens with the Angolan Gazetteer (USBGN, 1956). A lot of Angolan entomological material was studied during the second half of nineteen century and the twenty century which are deposited namely in several European and United States of America Institutions and Museums. This work aims to give a geographic tool to entomological scientific community providing a gazetteer of more than 300 localities (almost 600 names, taking into account the different ways of writing and the old and recent names for one same locality) where Coleoptera and Papilionoidea butterflies studied or under study were collected in Angola. Mendes et al. Gazetteer of the Angolan loccalities 259 MATERIAL AND METHODS To each place (which certainly represents the closest locality and not the exact collecting spot), the administrative Province (between brackets, in capitals, after the locality name), the approximate latitude, longitude and altitude in meters, as well as (between brackets, at the end of each name) the number of the correspondent aero-photogrammetric survey maps of Angola (scale 1:100 000, edited by the JUNTA DE INVESTIGAÇÕES DO ULTRAMAR & GOVERNO GERAL DE ANGOLA (1948-1963) (JIU/GGA in the notes) are reported. These data were obtained directly from those maps, from Angola maps (1: 100 000 and 1: 250 000) and when vertebrate and coleoptera/lepidoptera were collected together, from CRAWFORD-CABRAL & MESQUITELA (1989) also (see Map in Fig. 1); a few ones were checked in the Internet “Global Gazetteer” site; when possible, changed names or incorrect orthographies, are set out for as (See ...) to their recent (or correct) name (between brackets, following the province and assigned as =). Moreover, most of the entomological material which study is being accomplished is deposited in the entomological collection of the CZ (Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical, Jardim Botânico Tropical / Zoologia) and in the collection of the second co-author (BS). The following abbreviations presented by alphabetical order and concerning localities and collections will be also used along the text: AF: Lieut.-Colon. António Figueira collection; CE: Centro de Estudos; Col.: Colonato (Colonate); EZ: Estação Zootécnica (Zootechnical Laboratory); F.: Fazenda (Farm); L.: Lago/Lagoa (Lake); M.: Missão (Mission); MRAC: Museum Royal de l’Afrique Centrale, Tervuren, Belgium; R.: Rio (River); PG: collection held by the late Capt. Gastão Pessoa Guerreiro, now in the CZ; and S.: Sanzala (African small village). A few places registered (mainly) by the classic authors are considered as “indeterminable” if they concern: 1. names of areas extended for more than one map, e.g. Alto Cuango, Rio Cuanza, Serra do Amboim or Vila Luso para Camacupa; or 2. names corresponding to two or more different localities in quite distinct areas and so, impossible to locate accurately, e.g. Bonge (at least three localities with the same name, each one in its own province (Bihé, Huambo and Huila). A few further places which location was impossible to determine are considered to be “untraceable”; most of them may correspond to erroneous spellings that we were not able to correct and some others names shall concern small (or abandoned, or disappeared) villages that were impossible to find in the consulted maps (e.g. Bula Matenga or Giri, for which not even the administrative provinces could be traced). Enquired Angolan people and Portuguese colleagues born in Angola and/or that lived for long in the country could not, nor even them, help to spot these localities. Some of those localities may even correspond to non- 260 Bolm Soc. Port. Ent. n.º 228 (VIII-14): 258-292, 2013 Angolan localities despite they were reported as being in Angola (e.g. Makweta or Thoumby), and they will be assigned in capitals. Some other localities reported to be in Angola are with no doubts part of Namibia or of the former Zaire, and their names are reported in this gazetteer also in capitals (e.g. Banana, in the Congo Democratic Republic or Enhanda and Omrora, both in Namibia). A few old names of regions or extended areas are interpreted mostly according to BROADLEY & MINSHULL (1986) and the localities explored in the beginning of the XX century along the southern Angola by WEYMER (1901, 1903) were localized mainly through WARBURG (1903) maps.

Angola *Author for correspondence. [email protected] ABSTRACT During 2018, this research was carried out with the objective of conducting an agroclimatic characterization based on the development of robust coffee in the Uigé province, Angola. The records of the climatic variables rainfall and temperatures were analyzed, as they are the ones that most influence the development and growth of coffee. The historical-logical method was applied to recover the information about the crop requirements and compare them with the edaphoclimatic conditions of the province. The climatic data of the region were recorded from the observations made in each municipality compatible with the information extracted from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) site, for the period 1990-2010. Suitability maps for temperatures and rainfall were generated from the use of GIS that allowed the manipulation of thematic information layers. The results allowed us to recognize that the largest area of Uigé province (86.3 %), has climatic conditions for the development of robust coffee, with loss of fitness in the municipalities of the west end of the province, Daniel Fernando Baltazar-da Silva, Mariol Morejón-García, Andrés Díaz-Pita, Fernando Manuel de Almeida, João Ferreira da Costa-Neta y Vasco Gonçalves whose main limitation was rainfall.

  • Africa Notes
    Number 137 June 1992 CSISAFRICA NOTES A publication of the Center for Strategic and International Studies , Washington, D.C. Angola in Transition: The Cabinda Factor by Shawn McCormick In accordance with the Portuguese-mediated agreement signed by leaders of the governing Movimento Popular de Libertac;:ao de Angola (MPLA) .and the Uniao Nacional para a Independencia Total de Angola (UNIT A) in May 1991, the 16-year civil war that erupted in Angola as the country achieved independent statehood in 1975 has ended. Efforts to implement the second priority mandated in the agreement-national elections by late 1992-are being assisted by a range of international actors, including the United Nations, the United States, Russia, and Portugal. More than 12 parties are likely to participate in the elections (scheduled for September 29 and 30, 1992). The process of achieving a third key element of the agreement-demobilization of three-fourths of the two armies and integration of the remaining soldiers into a 50,000-strong national force-seems unlikely to conclude before elections are held. Although media attention focuses on developments and major players in the capital city of Luanda, where UNIT A has officially established a presence, analysts of the Angolan scene are according new attention to tiny Cabinda province (where an increasingly active separatist movement is escalating its pursuit of independence from Luanda) as "possibly Angola's last and most important battlefield." The significance of Cabinda-a 2,807-square-mile enclave along the Atlantic Ocean separated from Angola's other 17 contiguous provinces by a 25-mile strip of Zaire-lies in the fact that current offshore oil production, including that from the Takula and Malanga fields, totals more than 310,000 barrels per day (bpd).

  • Southern Africa • Angola/DRC Expulsions Regional Situation Report No
    Southern Africa • Angola/DRC Expulsions Regional Situation Report No. 2 22 October 2009 This report was issued by the Regional Office of Southern Africa. It covers the period from 11 to 22 October 2009. The next report will be issued within the next two weeks. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Representatives of the Angolan and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Governments met in Kinshasa on 13 October 2009, and publicly regretted the recent ‘migration incidents’ between the two countries. A joint Communiqué released on the same day called for the immediate cessation of expulsions between the two neighbors. • Despite the Communiqué, humanitarian actors on the ground report that the expulsions are continuing1. Angola • The number of Angolan nationals expelled from DRC had reached 39,000, according to the Angolan Ministry of Social Affairs and Reintegration’s (MINARS) last available estimate as of 17 October 2009. These include an undetermined but perhaps significant numbers of refugees. • MINARS and UN agencies (including UNFPA, UNICEF, UNHCR, IOM and WHO) undertook a needs assessment from 15 to 21 October 2009 in M’banza Congo in Zaire Province, and also delivered relief supplies. • The locations where populations are to be temporarily relocated do not contain landmines, according to National Mine Action authority (CNIDAH) in Angola. • The Angolan Red Cross and Save the Children have also carried out assessments in the affected areas. • MINARS and the Governor of Zaire Province have requested UNHCR to provide thousands of tents and other emergency non-food items. Democratic Republic of Congo • The number of DRC nationals expelled from Angola has significantly subsided in both Kasai and Bandundu provinces, but remained high in Bas-Congo Province, growing from 2,000 in July 2009 to 18,000 in September 2009.

Radon is the largest contributor of radioactive pollution in underground water. Its concentration in water, represents a public health risk due to the fact that the gas can easily escape into the air, adding to the total indoor concentration of radon. On the other hand, ingestion of water with a high radon concentration represents an additional risk to the stomach. Measurements of radon concentration, in Bibala municipality’s water, were performed on 16 samples obtained from wells of various depths and analyzed with DURRIDGEs’ RAD7 equipment. Measured concentrations are in the range from 39.5 to 202 Bq L−1, with 2 of the recovered samples presenting values over 100 Bq L−1. Keywords: Radon, Water, Dosimetry, Bibala 1. Introduction Since the beginning of the world human beings have been exposed to natural radiation deriving from the earth as well as from outside.
