  • The Marquesas
    © Lonely Planet Publications 199 The Marquesas Grand, brooding, powerful and charismatic. That pretty much sums up the Marquesas. Here, nature’s fingers have dug deep grooves and fluted sharp edges, sculpting intricate jewels that jut up dramatically from the cobalt blue ocean. Waterfalls taller than skyscrapers trickle down vertical canyons; the ocean thrashes towering sea cliffs; sharp basalt pinnacles project from emerald forests; amphitheatre-like valleys cloaked in greenery are reminiscent of the Raiders of the Lost Ark; and scalloped bays are blanketed with desert arcs of white or black sand. This art gallery is all outdoors. Some of the most inspirational hikes and rides in French Polynesia are found here, allowing walkers and horseback riders the opportunity to explore Nuku Hiva’s convoluted hinterland. Those who want to get wet can snorkel with melon- headed whales or dive along the craggy shores of Hiva Oa and Tahuata. Bird-watchers can be kept occupied for days, too. Don’t expect sweeping bone-white beaches, tranquil turquoise lagoons, swanky resorts and THE MARQUESAS Cancun-style nightlife – the Marquesas are not a beach holiday destination. With only a smat- tering of pensions (guesthouses) and just two hotels, they’re rather an ecotourism dream. In everything from cuisine and dances to language and crafts, the Marquesas do feel different from the rest of French Polynesia, and that’s part of their appeal. Despite the trap- pings of Western influence (read: mobile phones), their cultural uniqueness is overwhelming. They also make for a mind-boggling open-air museum, with plenty of sites dating from pre-European times, all shrouded with a palpable historical aura.

Received April 9,1986; revised version accepted November 26,1986 Basalts from the Marquesas Archipelago display significant variations according to magmatic type in 143Nd/144Nd (0.512710-0.512925) and a7Sr/86Sr (0.70288-0.70561) suggesting heterogeneities at various scales in the mantle source, with respectively the highest and lowest values in tholeiites compared to alkali basalts. This relationship is the reverse from that observed in the Hawaiian islands. Systematic indications of magma mixing are recognized from the relationships between trace element and isotopic ratios. Tholeiites from Ua Pou Island which have unradiogenic Sr (about 0.7028) plot close to basalts from Tubuai and St. Helena, i.e. distinctly below the main mantle trend in the Nd vs. Sr isotopic diagram. It is suggested that the source of these tholeiites is ancient subducted lithosphere which has suffered previous extraction of liquid with island arc tholeiite composition.

  • Check List of the Cicindelidae of Oceania
    CHECK LIST OF THE CICINDELIDAE OF OCEANIA By WALTHER HORN BeRNIcE P. BISHOP MuSEUM OCCASIONAL PAPERS VOLUM~: XII, NUMBER 6 HONOLULU, HAWAII PUBLISHED BY THE MUSEUM July 16, 1936 CHECK LIST OF THECICINDELIDAE OF OCEANIA By WALTHER HORN In the old literature Therates fasciatus flavilabris Fabricius and Cicindela heros Fabricius are mentioned as occurring in the Pacific. However these references are wrong: Therates occurs only in the Celebes and the Philippines, and Cicindela heros only in the Celebes. Cicindela taitensis Boheman was originally described from the So­ ciety Islands, but I discovered by studying Boheman's type it is merely the common neotropical CicindCla argentata Fabricius. I have no doubt that there are errors in the locality given for other species described by Boheman as coming from "Taiti" and brought back on the famous voyage of the Eugenie. No Cicindelas of New Zealand are known from the adjacent islands, Lord Howe, Norfolk, the Kermadecs, Chatham, Bounty, Antipodes, Campbell, Auckland, Macquarie, and Stewart. C. ezonata, described by Broun from New Zealand, is probably identical with the Fijian species, C. vitiens'/:s Blanchard. The locality, "Tule Island", is listed on page 8 but I do not know where in Oceania it is. Another locality, Duke of York Islands, has misled many entomologists, especially those who have recently worked on the Oceanic fauna. For many years I knew only that this citation did not refer to the Duke of York Islands in the Tokelau archipelago; I knew neither the collecting trip nor the source of the insects labeled "Duke of York". A short while ago I discovered that this locality was cited for insects in the catalogs of the Godeffroy Museum.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 4Corresponding author Abstract Decapod crustaceans were studied in the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, between 50–550 m by using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with high resolution cameras and an articulated arm. Careful examination of videos and photographs combined with previous inventories made in the area with conventional gears allowed the identification of 30 species, including 20 species-level determinations. Species identified belong to shrimps (Penaeoidea, Stenopodidea, and Caridea), lobsters (Astacidea and Achelata), anomurans (Galatheoidea and Paguroidea), and brachyuran crabs (Dromioidea, Homolodromioidea, Raninoidea, Leucosioidea, Majoidea, Parthenopoidea, Portunoidea, and Trapezioidea). Most of these species were observed and photographed in situ for the first time. A discussion is given on the geographic distribution, density, ecology, and behavior.
