  • The Marine Mollusca of Suriname (Dutch Guiana) Holocene and Recent
    THE MARINE MOLLUSCA OF SURINAME (DUTCH GUIANA) HOLOCENE AND RECENT Part II. BIVALVIA AND SCAPHOPODA by G. O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden "The student must know something of syste- matic work. This is populary supposed to be a dry-as-dust branch of zoology. In fact, the systematist may be called the dustman of biol- ogy, for he performs a laborious and frequently thankless task for his fellows, and yet it is one which is essential for their well-being and progress". Maud D. Haviland in: Forest, steppe and tundra, 1926. CONTENTS Ι. Introduction, systematic survey and page references 3 2. Bivalvia and Scaphopoda 7 3. References 86 4. List of corrections of Part I 93 5. Plates 94 6. Addendum 100 1. INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F. Augustinus for having provided many new coastal records for several species.

    CHAPTER 20 Sea Is History, Sea Is Witness: The Creation of a Prosopographical Database for the Sephardic Atlantic Michael Studemund-Halévy* Where are your monuments, your battles, martyrs? Where is your tribal memory? Sirs, in that grey vault. The sea. The sea has locked them up. The sea is History. Derek Walcott, The Sea Is History, 19791 ⸪ During the Jewish modern period, ships bound for colonies in the Americas not only carried products and lamentably, also slaves, but equally members of the Portuguese nation, among them young and old, poor and rich, adventur- ers and refugees, forasteiros and itinerant talmidei hakhamim in need of assis- tance, merchants and speculators, widowers and widows, grooms and brides (and sometimes the ships returned the travelers back to the places from where they had originally embarked). The colonies in the Atlantic, which attracted many members of the recently established Jewish Portuguese communities in Hamburg, Amsterdam, and London, negotiated between different colonial empires at long social, ethnic and cultural boundaries, crossed religious bor- ders and frontiers, and showed the blending of multiple Jewish traditions.2 * The generous financial assistance from the ZEIT Foundation Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius en- abled me to carry out fieldwork in Suriname, Curaçao and Barbados. This project would not have been possible without the help of my colleagues Amalia S. Levi and Thomas Kollatz. 1 The sea as guardian and witness of history—few words could serve as a better introduction to the history of the Sephardic Atlantic, see Carmen Birkle and Nicole Waller, eds., “The Sea is History”: Exploring the Atlantic (Heidelberg: Winter, 2006).

  • Diptera): Introduction and Syrphinae
    A second survey of Surinam Syrphidae (Diptera): introduction and Syrphinae Menno Reemer A faunistic study of the Syrphidae of Surinam was published by Van Doesburg (1962, 1966), based on material collected in the years 1957–1963. The present paper constitutes the first part in a series of papers presenting the results of a second faunistic survey of Surinam Syrphidae, mostly based on recently collected material. This part contains a general introduction and accounts of the species of the subfamily Syrphinae. Historical records are reviewed and, when necessary, modified according to present taxonomic knowledge. When available, ecological and biological information is given. Pictures of all recorded species are included. A total number of 60 species of Syrphinae is recorded. Compared with the checklist of Van Doesburg (1966), 22 species are added and 16 are removed. Two new species are described: Leucopodella guianica sp. n. and Ocyptamus icarus sp. n. The following new synonyms are proposed: Baccha cultrina Curran, 1939 = B. cultrata Austen, 1893; B. satyra Hull, 1943b = B. cultrata Austen, 1893; B. prunella Hull, 1943b = B. funebris Macquart, 1834; Mesogramma flaviplurus Hall, 1927 = Syrphus costalis Wiedemann, 1830. Six potentially new species in Ocyptamus Macquart, 1834 and two in Trichopsomyia Williston, 1888 are left unnamed, pending revisions of (the relevant parts of) these genera. A key to the species of Ocyptamus known from Surinam is given. Menno Reemer, Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, the Netherlands.

Since retirement in 2001, active in the international conservation scene through the Netherlands Management Cooperation Programme (NMCP) and ICOMOS, ICOMOS member since 1985 and since January 2006 chairman of the ICOMOS Scientific Committee on Shared Built Heritage. Abstract In the beginning of the 16th century Jews from Spain (and later on from Portugal) were forced by the ‘Holy Office of the Inquisition’ to become Christian and aban- don their Judaism. Due to the expansion of the non-Iberian powers in the Amer- ica’s by England, France and the Netherlands, many of the Iberian Jewish refugees fled to opportunities in the New World. The Netherlands started settlements in Brazil and on the Guyana reef on the so-called Wild Coast of South America. Jews from Portugal, especially, saw a new future in these regions (being Dutch territo- ries, in which the Jews experienced a liberal attitude) and settled there. With the reoccupation of Brazil by the Portuguese in 1654 the Jews left. Since they were considered as experienced planters and traders in tropical agriculture they were heartily welcomed by other governing authorities including Suriname. The Jews were seen as an important economic impulse in the low populated areas of the interior of the region.
