General 1.1 Before 1 January 1949, the principal form of nationality was British subject status, which was obtained by virtue of a connection with a place within the Crown's dominions.

Meaning of the expression 2.1 On 1 January 1949, all the territories within the Crown's dominions came within the UK and Colonies except for the Dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland, India, Pakistan and Ceylon (see "DOMINIONS") and Southern Rhodesia, which were identified by s.1(3) of the BNA 1948 as independent Commonwealth countries. Section 32(1) of the 1948 Act defined "colony" as excluding any such country. Also excluded from the UK and Colonies was Southern Ireland, although it was not an independent Commonwealth country. 2.2 For the purposes of the BNA 1948, the UK included Northern Ireland and, as of 10 February 1972, the Island of Rockall, but excluded the Channel Islands and Isle of Man which, under s.32(1), were colonies. 2.3 The significance of a territory which came within the UK and Colonies was, of course, that by virtue of a connection with such a territory a person could become a CUKC. Persons who, prior to 1 January 1949, had become British subjects by birth, naturalisation, annexation or descent as a result of a connection with a territory which, on that date, came within the UK and Colonies were automatically re- classified as CUKCs (s.12(1)-(2)). -

Body Condition Scoring of Bornean Banteng in Logged Forests Naomi S
Prosser et al. BMC Zoology (2016) 1:8 DOI 10.1186/s40850-016-0007-5 BMC Zoology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Body condition scoring of Bornean banteng in logged forests Naomi S. Prosser1,2*, Penny C. Gardner1,2, Jeremy A. Smith2,3, Jocelyn Goon Ee Wern1, Laurentius N. Ambu4 and Benoit Goossens1,2,4,5* Abstract Background: The Bornean banteng (Bos javanicus lowi) is an endangered subspecies that often inhabits logged forest; however very little is known about the effects of logging on their ecology, despite the differing effects this has on other ungulate species. A body condition scoring system was created for the Bornean banteng using camera trap photographs from five forests in Sabah, Malaysia, with various past and present management combinations to establish if banteng nutrition suffered as a result of forest disturbance. Results: One hundred and eleven individuals were photographed over 38,009 camera trap nights from April 2011 to June 2014 in five forests. Banteng within forests that had a recent history of reduced-impact logging had higher body condition scores than banteng within conventionally logged forest. Conversely, when past logging was conducted using a conventional technique and the period of forest regeneration was relatively long; the banteng had higher body condition scores. Conclusion: The body condition scoring system is appropriate for monitoring the long-term nutrition of the Bornean banteng and for evaluating the extent of the impact caused by present-day reduced-impact logging methods. Reduced-impact logging techniques give rise to individuals with the higher body condition scores in the shorter term, which then decline over time. -

The Bornean Wild Cats - a Framework for a Wild Cat Action Plan for Sabah
Ross, J., Hearn, A. J., Bernard, H., Secoy, K., and Macdonald, D. W. 2010The Bornean wild cats - A framework for a Wild Cat Action Plan for Sabah. Report: 1-49.. Oxford. Report to the Sabah Wildlife Department. Keywords: 4MY/bay cat/behaviour/capacity building/density/description/distribution/estimation /flat-headed cat/habitat/habitat loss/hunting/leopard cat/marbled cat/Neofelis diardi/Pardofelis badia/Pardofelis marmorata/population status/Prionailurus bengalensis/Prionailurus planiceps/protection status/research needs/Sabah/Sunda clouded leopard/threats/trade Abstract: The Bornean Wild Cats and Clouded Leopard Project was a three year multi-disciplinary project aimed at addressing the conservation needs of Borneo's wild cats through the merging of pioneering ecological research, conservation awareness and training. This report details the project's preliminary findings and presents a synthesis of the current knowledge regarding the five species of Bornean wild cat, with a particular focus on Sabah populations. The report provides a basic framework for the future development of a wild cat action plan for Sabah. A unique guild of five wild cat species (Sunda clouded leopard, marbled cat, bay cat, flat-headed cat, and leopard cat) inhabit the rainforests of Borneo. Two are considered by the IUCN as Endangered (Bay Cat and Flat Headed Cat), two as Vulnerable (Marbled cat and Sunda Clouded Leopard), yet they remain some of the world's least known wild cats. The Malaysian state of Sabah, in the north of Borneo, holds globally important populations of all four of these threatened felids. Thought to be forest dependant, the presumed primary habitat of Borneo's wild felids is rapidly being lost and/or altered in the region. -

Borneo is home to approximately 200 mammals, of which 44 are endemic, and can be found only in the Bornean rainforests. On this 11- day tour, we will be based along the Kinabatangan River and nearby reserves, where all 10 of Sabah’s primate species can be found. Wild Bornean Orangutans, plus Maroon, Silvered and Hose’s Langurs, Bornean Gibbons, Pig-tailed and Long-tailed Macaques, and the peculiar Proboscis Monkey are all highlights of this region. We will begin our tour in Sepilok, where we will visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, and the Sun Bear Conservation Centre to learn about the ongoing efforts to protect these iconic species. -
(Bird's Nest),Danum Valley Conservation Area,Tabin Wild
Royal Belum The pristine Royal Belum is nestled within the protected Belum Valley in Gerik. New species of trees and insects have been discovered in this 117,500-hectare virgin rainforest, which is also one of the few places in Malaysia where you can see the rare Rafflesia. Comprising a complex ecosystem, this state park is situated in the northern part of Lake Temengor and is a haven for mammals like the seladang, Asian Elephant, Malaysian Tiger and the endangered Sumatran Rhinoceros as well as birds such as the hornbills. Must do: Go for jungle trekking, bird watching and wildlife sightings Semenggoh Nature Reserve Situated in the Semenggoh Nature Reserve, this centre was established to rehabilitate orang utans that were injured, orphaned or kept illegally. The Centre has been a resounding success, caring for almost 1,000 endangered mammals, birds and reptiles from dozens of different species. However it is the orang utan rehabilitation programme that has made the Centre famous. In one respect, Semenggoh has been too successful – so many orang utan have been successfully reintroduced into the surrounding forest reserve that the forest’s carrying capacity has been reached, and rehabilitation activities have been transferred to the Matang Wildlife Centre, part of Kubah National Park. Semenggoh’s role has changed and it is nowadays a centre for the study of orang utan biology and behaviour, as well as a safe and natural haven for dozens of semi-wild orang utan, graduates of the rehabilitation programme. It is also home to numerous baby orang utan, born in the wild to rehabilitated mothers, a further testament to the success of the programme. -
