    Vol. XIV, No. 2, March, 1951 277 Additional Notes on the Bees of the Solomon Islands (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) By KARL V. KROMBEIN BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE, AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE This report, a supplement to an earlier one1, on the bees of the Solomon Islands has been occasioned by the study of material in the collections of the California Academy of Sciences [CAS] and Museum of Comparative Zoology [MCZ] kindly made available by E. S. Ross and J. C. Bequaert, respectively. The diligent collecting on several of these islands during the war by G. E. Bohart has resulted in the present re cording of several forms previously unknown from the group, some new and some adventive from other regions. The material at hand has been extensive enough to enable me to present keys, complete or nearly so, to the species of Megachile and Halictus, the two largest genera of bees in the Solomons. The bee fauna now known to be present in the Solomons is listed be low (an asterisk denotes an endemic or supposedly endemic species). The honey bee, Apis mellifera L., has not been taken in the Solomons, though it occurs on several of the other islands in the Pacific. COLLETIDAE *Palaeorhiza tetraxantha (Cockerell).

  • Sociological Factors in Reefs-Santa Cruz Language Vitality: a 40 Year Retrospective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Sociological factors in Reefs-Santa Cruz language vitality: a 40 year retrospective BRENDA H. BOERGER, ÅSHILD NÆSS, ANDERS VAA, RACHEL EMERINE, and ANGELA HOOVER Abstract This article looks back over 40 years of language and culture change in the region of the Solomon Islands where the four Reefs-Santa Cruz (RSC) lan- guages are spoken. Taking the works of Davenport and Wurm as a starting point, we list specific linguistic changes we have identified and discuss the so- ciological factors which have both promoted and undermined the vitality of these languages. We then determine the level of vitality for each language through the recently proposed Extended Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale — EGIDS (Lewis and Simons 2010), and based on our results for the RSC languages, we provide a short evaluation of the usefulness of EGIDS for prioritizing language documentation efforts. Keywords: Solomon Islands; Solomon Islands Pijin; Reefs-Santa Cruz; Natügu; Nalögo; Nagu; Äiwoo; EGIDS; language documenta- tion; language vitality. 1. Introduction Forty years ago, two authors wrote extensively about the anthropological and linguistic situation in the RSC language communities. Davenport (1962, 1964, 1975, 2005) described the cultural and sociological properties of both the Santa Cruz and Reef Islands cultures, Figure 1, including a description of trade rela- tionships within the Santa Cruz archipelago. At the same time Wurm (1969, 1970, 1972, 1976, 1978) analyzed the linguistic characteristics of the RSC languages. In his later work, Wurm (1991, 1992a, 1992b, 2000, 2002, 2003) also discussed language vitality in the region.

  • Raymond Firth's Collection from Tikopia, Solomon Islands. in A
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2004 Records of the Australian Museum, Supplement 29 (2004): 37–45 ISBN 0-9750476-3-9 Ownership and a Peripatetic Collection: Raymond Firth’s Collection from Tikopia, Solomon Islands ELIZABETH BONSHEK Anthropology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The ethnographic collection made by Sir Raymond Firth in Tikopia, Solomon Islands, in 1928 and 1929 is used as a case study for the examination of the different meanings and interpretations attributed to museum collections. This collection is now housed at the Australian Museum in Sydney. In the 1970s the collection was subject to a repatriation request by the National Museum of the Solomon Islands, but the collection was not returned. In examining the progress of this request the history of the collection is traced, including acquisition in the field and subsequent re-locations between university, state and national bodies in Australia. I suggest that the reasons for the failure of the National Museum of the Solomon Islands to successfully negotiate the return of this collection lie in the nature of the repatriation request as an expression of political difference at a national level rather than cultural difference at the local level, and in the specific social relationships, past and present, surrounding the collection. However, the contemporary attitudes to the collection identified in this study should not be assumed to remain constant, as future generations of Tikopia may well reassess the cultural value of this collection. I conclude that museums are sites which mediate specific social relationships, at specific times in history.
