    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KUKILA KUKILA 6 No. 2 (1993): 85 - 109 RECENT ORNITHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS FROM BURU by Paul Jepson (Final manuscript received 21 April 1993) Summary The island of Buru was visited between 8 Nov and 10 Dec 1969 and surveys conducted from field stations in the north-west of the island. A total of 112 species was recorded, including six of Bum's ten endemic species. Four of the endemic species, Pnoniturus mada, Monarcha loricatus, Rhipidura superflua and Zosterops buruensis were found to be quite common, but Lichmera deningeri and Cworacina fortis are considered to be uncommon or rare. The mountains or Burn from where Madanga ruficollis and Rhinomyias addita have previously beea collected were not visited. Concern is expressed concerning the status of two endemic parrots, Charmosyna toxopei and Tanypiathus gramineus, which were not conclusively recorded and which appear to have always been rare. Six species were recorded for the first tune on Buru. Introduction The Manchester Indonesia Islands Expedition visited the island of Buru between 8 Nov and 10 Dec 1989. The aim of the expedition was to obtain data related to the conservation of bird faunas. The results of the analysis of data on the ecology and habitat preferences of the bird species will appear elsewhere. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic list of birds recorded on Bum by the expedition, and to publish notes collected for some of the species on moult, nests and vocalisations. During the last sixty years.

This project has sought to document the real and anticipated impacts of decentralisation on forest management, forest community livelihoods, and economic development at the provincial and district levels. During the initial phase of this research, CIFOR conducted case studies in nine kabupaten or districts, in four provinces: Riau, East Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and West Kalimantan. These case studies were carried out in 2000, with follow up visits to some districts conducted in early 2001. As such, the findings presented in the present report and the companion case studies reflect the conditions and processes that existed in the study districts during the initial phase of Indonesia’s decentralisation process. The following reports have been produced by this project. The first of these represents a synthesis of the major findings from the nine case studies, accompanied by a historical analysis of forest administration and forestry sector development in Indonesia, and a discussion of the origins and legal-regulatory basis of the nation’s ongoing decentralisation process.

But I first thank my primary advisors, Professors Jeff Sayer and Intu Boedhihartono, for the unimagined opportunities granted to me, making this research possible. Early time spent with them in their Development Practice Program at James Cook University instilled a philosophically broad-based commitment to research in me. The tenets of that philosophy are taking empathetic, integrated, improvisational (in a musical, jazz sense), experiential, and anti-fragile approach to learning and life. I cannot thank them enough for their inspiration, guidance, and the opportunities they provided. The expansive network of friends and colleagues built over the time of this research, was made possible by my advisors.

  • From Seram Island, Indonesia
    Journ. Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 63 : 421-424 (Dec. 1987) A NEW SPECIES OF LEPIDOZIA (HEPATICAE) FROM SERAM ISLAND, INDONESIA HIROSHI DOEl! Very recently, I reported ten species of Lepidozia (Lepidoziaceae) from Seram Island, Indonesia, on the basis of a collection made by the botanical expeditions to Central Moluccas of the University of Tokyo and Herbarium Bogoriense (Doei 1987). In the collection, I found a distinctive new species of Lepidozia. The species is best characterized by the filiform plants as well as by the unlobed and long triangular leaves. As the species was recorded as nomen nudum in that paper, I will formally describe it below. I wish to express my cordial thanks to Prof. M. Tamura of Kobe University for his kind advice and encouragement throughout the present study. Thanks are also due to Mr. H. Akiyama of Kyoto University who kindly afforded me an opportunity to study his interesting collection and to Prof. N . Kitagawa of Nara University of Educa­ tion who gave me valuable suggestions and critical advice. Lepidozia integrifolia Doei, sp. novo (Fig. I) Planta dioica, magna, ad 70 mm longa, filiformis, rufobrunnea. Folia remota, suberecta vel erecto-patula, anguste triangulata, integra, fere symmetrica, apice acuta. Cellulae foliorum subquadratae ad rectangulares, parietibus aequaliter incrassatis, trigonis nullis. Amphigastria remota, parva, tra­ peziformia vel subquadrata, subintegra, appressa. Plants long and filiform, regularly pinnate, reddish brown in herbarium material, ascend­ ing or prostrate, in compact mats. Stems up to 70 mm long, 180-230.um thick, with leaves 400- 500 .urn wide, composed of about 33 rows of cortical cells; outermost cortical cells mostly 12- 18 x 7- 10 .urn in cross section and 25-38 x 12-15 flm in longitudinal section, walls very thick; inner cortical cells rather small; medullary cells larger (15-25 x 8-13 flm); lateral branches up to 40 mm long, 70-150 flm thick, with leaves 380-500 flm wide, usually tapering and flagelliform; rhizoids sparse.
