The China Sea Directory, Vol. I., contains Sailing Directions for the approaches to the China Sea by Malacca, Singapore, Sunda, Banka, Caspar, Carimata, Rhio, Varella, and Durian Straits ; also general observations on the passages from the Cape of Good Hope to Sunda Strait aad Singapore. The material used has been gathered from the following sources Malacca strait from the surveys of Lieutenants Ward and Jackson, Indian Navy, 1852-60. Portions of it, viz., the Lankawa islands, Penang and its approaches, Diuding island and channel, Perak river entrance and its approaches, and Larut river, have been re-surveyed by Captain Napier, Commander the Honourable F. Vereker, and Lieutenant H. Belam, in H.M. surveying vessels, 1876-84 ; also the south shore between Aroa islands and the Carimon islands has been partially re-surveyed by the Dutch. Singapore, Banka, and Rhio straits are from the surveys of Messrs. Richards, Stanton, and Reed, Masters R,N., 1860-68, and Mr. Thompson, Government Surveyor, 1843-49 ; portions of Banka and Rhio strait have been re-surveyed by the Dutch Government. Durian strait is from the surveys of Lieutenants CoUinson and Moresby, Indian Navy, 1822 ; Lieutenant Tjassens, Dutch Navy, 1843, with additions by Mr. Stanton, 1862. Sunda strait to Banka strait is from various authorities. H.M. surveying vessels in 1865-6 searched in vain for many reported dangers and rectified the positions of others ; similar work is being carried on by the Dutch surveyors yet, as no complete survey has ; been made, vessels should navigate it with caution. Gaspar and Caiirnata straits are principally from the re-surveys made by the Dutch from 1880-5 ; the southern approaches to Carimata were partially examined by H.M.'s surveying vessels Sylvia and Nassau, 1874-6, and the Carimata islands, with some of the Montaren group, were surveyed by Lieutenant H. Hoskyn, H.M.S. Flying Fish in 1880. The positions of some of the out- lying reefs, however, have yet to be investigated. TT .•»rt*»/*e iXTi. e\-\ cod n O A second edition, revised by Staff-Commanders J. C. Kichards and J. Hitchfield, of the Hydrographic Department, was published in 1878. To the present edition, revised by Staff-Commander 0. H. C. Langdon, of the Hydrographic Department, has been added direc- tions for the west coast of Sumatra. These, are compiled from Horsburgh, various old authorities, and partial surveys conducted by the Dutch from 1871-77, with amendments to 1885 ; but little is known of this large extent of coast. Directions for the coast of Java between Sunda strait and Batavia, resulting from recent Dutch surveys, have also been added. Much valuable information for this work has also been gathered from the Remark books of H.M. vessels employed on the China station. As this volume embraces a large extent of coast, and many islands and dangers which are but imperfectly explored, it must be considered incomplete. Seamen therefore are invited to transmit to the Secretary of the Admiralty notice of any errors or omissions they may discover, or additional information they may obtain, with a view to the improvement of this work for the benefit of the mariner. W. J. L. W. Hydrograpliio OfiBce, Admiralty, London, October 1886. ORTHOGRAPHY. As far as has been found possible with existing knowledge the native names in this book are spelt in accordance with the following system, which will be gradually introduced into all Admiralty Sailing Directions. Where native names have been so long written in a form, which, though not in accordance with this system, has become familiar to English eyes from being so spelt in all charts and maps, they are retained, and no European names are changed from the correct orthography. Information as to the proper spelling of native names so as to produce the nearest approximation to the true sound, by this system, is invited, but it must be remembered that only an approximation is aimed at. The position of the accent denoting the syllable on which emphasis, or the " stress," should be laid is very important, as the sound of so many words is utterly changed by its misplacement. Letters.

Purely Dutch names are retained as in Dutch, but Malay names are written as above. The Dutch method of spelling the native names is in accordance with their own system of pronounciation of the Boman letters. Thus the Dutch oe is pronounced u. „ J, j „ y, though not always.

    I J A B E R, Vol. 14, No. 14 (2016): 10343-10355 THE IMPACT OF FOREST AND PEATLAND EXPLOITATION TOWARDS DECREASING BIODIVERSITY OF FISHES IN RANGAU RIVER, RIAU-INDONESIA Yustina* Abstract: This survey study was periodically conducted in July, 6 times every year. There were 3 periods: 1st period (2002); 2nd period (2008) and 3rd period (2014). It sheds light on the impact of forest and peat land exploitation on decreasing biodiversity of fishes in Rangau River, Riau- Indonesia. Using some catching tools such as landing net, fishing trap, fishnet stocking and fishing rod. The sampling activity was administered at eight stations which were conducted by applying “catch per unit effort technique” in primary time: 19.30-07.30, for 3 repetitions for each fish net measurement within 30 minutes at every station, at position or continuously casting. The sampled fish were selected which were relatively in minor size but had represent their features and species. The fish were labelled and were preserved with 40% formalin. The determination and identification of fish were conducted at laboratory. Secondary data was collected by mean of interviewing the local fishermen about the surrounding environment condition of Rangau river. Data analysis consisted of biodiversity data, biodiversity index and fish existence frequency. The finding in 1st period, in 2002, total caught fish were 60 species: 36 genera and 17 families. In 2nd period in 2008, total caught fish were 38 species which consist of 30 genera and 16 families. In 3rd period, in 2014, there were 23 of fish species were found comprising 17 genera, 12 families.

Bahri2 1Student Doctor of Environmental Science UR, Pekanbaru 2Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering UR, Pekanbru Abstract: The Koto Panjang Hydro Power Plant Reservoir is located in three districts namely Kampar Regency of Riau Province, Pasaman Regency and Lima Puluh Kota of West Sumatera Province, so that the direction of actual land use is based on the spatial plan of three districts . The purpose of this study is to find out the land cover index by vegetation and the appropriateness between actual land use with spatial plan in the catchment area of Koto Pajang Hydro Power Plant Reservoir. The research was conducted by the method of interpretation of Landsat 8 image of 2014 recording which then overlaid on the combined spatial plant of Kampar, Pasaman and Lima Puluh Kota Regency in the catchment area of Koto Panjang Hydro Power Plan Reservoir processed using Geographic Infomation System technology. The result of Landsat 8 image interpretation in 2014 based on land use class in catchment area of Koto Panjang Hydro Power Plant Reservoir, to obtain land cover index value (IPL) by vegetation 97,16% greater 75%, meaning that the cover condition is in good condition. Spatial Plan of Kabupaten Kampar, Pasaman and Lima Puluh Kota in the catchment area Koto Panjang Hydro Power Plant Reservoir has wide use of forest land 209.587,36 ha or 65,86% from land area of Spatial Plant has forest forest area 140.392.22 ha or 44,12% from Land area of catchment area.

The treacherous passage was on the main shipping route from Singapore to the Sunda Strait (which runs between Java and Sumatra), which marked the entrance to the Indian Ocean.

As noted in the Great Britain Hydrographic Department's The China Sea Directory, vol. 1 (1878): "Many fine ships have been lost in Gaspar strait; not a few on the Alceste reef, from wrongly estimating their distance from the land; but the majority of instances from causes which might have been guarded against by the exercise of due care and judgment." This chart was then considered to be the authoritative guide for navigating these waters.

The results showed that the bottom estuary of the Rokan River are dominated by the mud sediment fraction. This type of mud sediment occupies almost the entire bottom of the estuary. This type of mud consists of a classification of coarse, medium, fine and very fine mud. Skewness of sediment are only very skewed and very fine skewed classification. The majority of sediment sorting goes into poorly sorted classification. Generally, sediments include into the classification of extremely leptokurtic. The sedimentation area for 72 years reaches 27,441.9 ha with accumulation rate of 343,0 ha/year. The highest sedimentation occurred in the coastal of Bagansiapiapi, sediment accumulation rate of 144.5 ha/year, the lowest in Halang Island 5.1 ha/year. On the right of the estuary of the Rokan River formed 3 islands namely Berkey Island, Serusa Islan, and Baru Island.

    2/28/2021 Turtle ship - Wikipedia Turtle ship A Geobukseon (Korean: 거북선, Korean pronunciation: [kʌbuksən]), also known as turtle ship in western descriptions, was a type of large Korean warship that was used intermittently by the Royal Korean Navy during the Joseon dynasty from the early 15th century up until the 19th century. It was used alongside the panokseon warships in the fight against invading Japanese naval ships. The ship's name derives from its protective shell-like covering.[1] One of a number of pre-industrial armoured ships developed in Europe and in East Asia, this design has been described by some as the first armored ship in the world.[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_ship 1/14 2/28/2021 Turtle ship - Wikipedia A scaled-down turtle ship replica at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul.

The highway project is part of a continuing pattern of forest destruction by APP/SMG and their associated companies in central Sumatra. Field investigations by Eyes on the Forest (EoF) have found that APP/SMG-associated companies have completed a 45-kilometer highway and paved nearly half of it already. Construction of the road has resulted in a 50-meter-wide swath of opened forest along the 45 kilometers. The road splits the Senepis peat forest in two, releasing significant amounts of climate-altering carbon emissions from the clearing and drainage canals on both sides.
