  • Imagereal Capture
    COMMENT FOREIGN FISHERMEN IN THE TERRITORIAL WATERS OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY, 1937 By W. R. EDESON* In 1937, several Japanese pearling vessels were arrested and seized by a patrol boat, operated by the Northern Territory Administration, because they had been found in territorial waters adjacent to an aboriginal reserve. At least eight actions were brought before Wells J. in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory by the owners of the vessels in respect of these seizures. These actions resulted in two verdicts in favour of the Japanese owners, while the remainder were settled out of court, also in favour of the Japanese. The two judgments which were handed down by Wells J. are unreported, despite the widespread con­ temporary publicity given to the entire incident, and the importance of the issues which arose for consideration before the Court. Although it would be misleading to overstress the importance of the decisions as judicial precedents, they are nonetheless valuable and interesting because many of the issues which were considered by the Court are still relevant in the current controversy over offshore sovereignty in the Australian federal system. Although the High Court in December 1975 finally decidedl that the Commonwealth, as opposed to the States, has sovereignty over offshore areas beyond low water mark, the detailed application of this ruling still needs to be worked out, especially with regard to internal waters, offshore islands and islets, and waters enclos­ able by the application of the old common law rules. Several of the conclusions in these cases also provide some useful historical evidence of the law as it was understood at the time of the litigation.

Printed for the Western Australian Museum Board by the Government Printer, Perth, Western Austral,ia. Iss~ecl 28th February, 1967 Edited by w. D. L. RIDE and A. NEUMANN RED- WINGED PARROT Photograph by Mr. Peter Slater LIST OF NORTHERN TERRITORY BIRDS BY G. M. STORR [2]-13314 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 7 Classification ... 7 Distribution ... 8 Status, habitat and breeding season 8 Appendices 9 LIST OF BIRDS 11 BIBLIOGRAPHY 65 SPECIES CONFIRMANDAE .... 69 GAZETTEER .... 71 INDEX TO SPECIES .. 84 Introduction It has long been the desire of ornithologists to have a list of Australian birds with their known range set out with considerably more precision than in current checklists. Yet it is hard to see how such a list can be compiled until each of the states and territories has a list of its own. Several state lists have appeared in the last two decades, and the only large gaps remaining are the birds of Queensland and the Northern Territory. In choosing the second as my subject, I have undertaken much the lighter task; for the avi­ fauna of the Territory is impoverished compared to Queensland's, and its literature is far smaller. The present work is a compendium of what has been published on the occurrence, status, habitat and breeding season of Northern Territory birds, augmented with my own field notes and those of Dr. D. L. Serventy. No attempt has been made to fill the numerous gaps in the record by writing to museums and observers for information or by personally exploring un­ worked regions.
