These catalogues will let Aboriginal people and other interested persons know about this north Queensland material which was gathered together nearly 100 years ago. It will make it easier for everyone to use this valuable collection and will save the delicate objects, registers and original documents being handled too much by people wishing to study them. The original 18 Roth Bulletins are full of information. Unfortunately, like much nineteenth century and early twentieth century writings, they are written in a manner that is difficult to understand. The lack of an index makes it hard to find information. Production of these new regional catalogues by the Australian Museum will make the older works easier to understand. The regional catalogues were compiled with the assistance of John Day and Bridget Ohlsson (photographers), and Fiona Duncan, Sara Knuckey, Tania Cleary, Jane Bible and Kelly Bona (cataloguers). Additional photographs have been taken by staff of the Photography Section of the Australian Museum, Ric Bolzan and Carl Bento. The catalogues were designed by the late Brian Bona of Studio B. Funding support for the project was provided by both State and Federal Governments. During the 1984 financial year $45,855 was received from the Commonwealth Employment Programme (CEP) towards the cost of employing some of the above people. From 1985 to 1992 the Australian Museum gave $22,100 from its Consolidated Revenue Funds towards this project. Khan: Roth CollectionVolume 2 3 The first volume was produced in 1993 as part of the Museums participation in the International Year of the Worlds Indigenous People. Philip Colman of the Malacology Section of the Australian Museum kindly checked scientific names of shells mentioned in the old Roth Bulletins. Staff of the National Herbarium, Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney and the Queensland Herbarium, Indooroopilly were most helpful in checking botanical names. Dr Betty Meehan of the Australian Heritage Commission, Canberra made many helpful suggestions when the project was in the conceptual stage. A special thanks to Drs Jim Specht and Val Attenbrow in the Division of Anthropology at the Australian Museum who spent long hours over the manuscript and offered many useful comments and constructive criticisms, and to Dr Shane McEvey for his editorial assistance. Introduction These catalogues are about the Roth collectiona collection of Aboriginal artefacts gathered together by the First Protector of Aboriginals in north Queensland, Dr Walter Edmund Roth between 1898 and 1904. Some 2000 artefacts (not all from north Queensland) and 308 photographic negatives were purchased by the Australian Museum from Dr Roth on 25 February 1905 for what was then 450 pounds (about $900). The Museum also holds other north Queensland material collected

Musky Rat-kangaroos can be classified as frugivo res because fr ui ts and seeds accounted fo r the bul k of their diet th roughout the year (Chapter 3). In addi tion, they scatterhoarded many fruits and seeds, to the benefit of at least some species of plants (Chapters 8 & 9). They consumed most of the available frui ts which had a fleshy pericarp or ani but also included the seeds of some species that did not. They ate fruits from over half the species producing fruits on my study site, many of those they did not eat were wind dispersed, housed in hard, indehiscent pods or had furry. dehiscent pods. In addition, some fleshy drupes were not consumed. Like many other frugivores, Musky Rat-kangaroos supplemented their diet from other sources, particularly when the seasonal availabil ity of fruits is at its min imum (see Terborgh 1983). During the late wet, co ld an d early dry seasons, when frui t abundance was mini mal, their search effort was random with respect to fr ui t fall s (Figure 3.8; Table 3.2).

    ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XV, No.l February 1993 THE WORLD OF THE BAMA Aboriginal-European Relations in the Cairns Rainforest Region to 1876 by Timothy Bottoms (All Rights Reserved) Presented to the Society as an Audio-Visual Program 10th August 1991 The world of the Djabugay-Yidiny [Jabuguy-Yidin] speaking people occupied what is now called the Cairns rainforest region. Their term for themselves is BAMA [Bum-ah] — meaning 'people'. To the south are Dyirbal [Jirrbal] speaking tribes who are linguistically different from their northern Yidiny-speakers, as German is to French. There appears to have been quite a deal of animosity' between these linguistically different neighbours. To the north are the Kuku-Yalanji [Kookoo Ya-lan-ji] who seem to have a great deal more in common with their southern Djabugay- speaking neighbours. In the northern half of the Cairns rainforest region are the Djabugay-speaking tribal groupings; the Djabuganydji [Jabu-ganji], the Nyagali [Na-kali], the Guluy [Koo-lie], the Buluwanydji [Bull-a- wan-ji], and on the coastal strip, the Yirrganydji [Yirr-gan-ji].^ The clans within each tribal grouping spoke dialects of Djabugay — so that, although there were differences, they were mutually understandable.^ The southern half of the Cairns rainforest region is home to the linguistically related Yidiny-speaking people. Fifty- three percent of the Yidiny lexicon is derived from Djabugay." However in the same fashion as the Djabugay-speakers — each clan, and there are many in each tribe,^ considered itself an entity in its own right, despite the linguistic affinities. The tribes who spoke Yidiny-related dialects were the Gungganydji [Kung-gan-ji], the Yidinydji [Yidin-ji], the Madjanydji [Mad-jan-ji], and Wanjuru.

Hence, there is a tendency of species misidentification using only the mor- phological characters. Herein, we evaluated the discriminatory power of the universal DNA barcodes (matK and rbcL) for 53 species spanning the two families. Using these markers, we inferred phylogenetic relation- ships and conducted species delimitation analysis using four delimitation methods: Automated Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), TaxonDNA, Bayesian Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP) and General Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC). The phylogenetic reconstruction based on the matK gene resolved the relationships between the families and further suggested the expansion of the Lamiaceae to include some core Verbanaceae genus, e.g., Gmelina.

  • (OUV) of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area
    Handout 2 Natural Heritage Criteria and the Attributes of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area The notes that follow were derived by deconstructing the original 1988 nomination document to identify the specific themes and attributes which have been recognised as contributing to the Outstanding Universal Value of the Wet Tropics. The notes also provide brief statements of justification for the specific examples provided in the nomination documentation. Steve Goosem, December 2012 Natural Heritage Criteria: (1) Outstanding examples representing the major stages in the earth’s evolutionary history Values: refers to the surviving taxa that are representative of eight ‘stages’ in the evolutionary history of the earth. Relict species and lineages are the elements of this World Heritage value. Attribute of OUV (a) The Age of the Pteridophytes Significance One of the most significant evolutionary events on this planet was the adaptation in the Palaeozoic Era of plants to life on the land. The earliest known (plant) forms were from the Silurian Period more than 400 million years ago. These were spore-producing plants which reached their greatest development 100 million years later during the Carboniferous Period. This stage of the earth’s evolutionary history, involving the proliferation of club mosses (lycopods) and ferns is commonly described as the Age of the Pteridophytes. The range of primitive relict genera representative of the major and most ancient evolutionary groups of pteridophytes occurring in the Wet Tropics is equalled only in the more extensive New Guinea rainforests that were once continuous with those of the listed area.
