Journal of the Federated Malay States Museums KM "S^W 1. LIST OF MICROCHIROPTERA, OTHER THAN' LEAF-XOSE BATS. IN THE COLLECTION OF THE FEDERATED MALAY STATES MUSEUMS. By Oldfield Thomas, F.R.S. ,1 owe to the kindness of Mr. H. C. Robinson the oppor- tunity of examining certain of the bats preserved in the collection of the F.M.S. Museums, and at his suggestion I have written the following list. It contains the Microchiroptera other than the Leaf-nose bats, with which latter Dr. Andersen is dealing. By the generosity of the authorities of the F.M.S. Museums the British Museum has been permitted to retain a number of the specimens here enumerated, including the tvpes of the three new forms described. Eptesicus dimissus, sp. nov. Eptesicus pachyntis, Robinson & Kloss, Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus. V. p. 116 119141. Type. 9 in al. Kao Nawng, Bandon, Malay Peninsula 3,500'. June 1913. F.M.S. Mus. No. 529/13. Collected by H. C. Robinson and E. Seimund. A medium—sized species related to E. pachyotis. Size rather greater than in E. pachyotis. Body proportionally rather larger compared with the wings. Fur short (hairs of back about 3 mm. in length 1, rather >parse, mostly confined to the body except on the interfemoral, on a triangle at the base of the tail. Colour chestnut brown above, lighter below, the haiis of the mesial area of the understirface broadly tipped with dull whitish or huffy. Ears short, rattier narrow, inner base with a rounded basal lobe; inner edge slightly convex, tip rounded off, outer edge straight above, convex lower down, with a low antitragal lobe. Tragus short, its inner margin, which is scarcely longer than its breadth, slightly concave, tip rounded, outer margin convex with a fleshy basal lobe. Wings to the middle of the metatarsals. A distinct post-calcarial lobule. Skull broad and stoutly built, with a well marked occipital "helmet." Upper incisors with less disparity 111 size than in the allied species, the tip of the outer attaining three fourths the height of the inner, the latter rather small but still of the characteristic Eptesicus shape, parallel sided, bicuspid ter- minally; the outer tricuspid, obliquely concave. Last lower molar with its posterior portion nearly equal to the anterior part in area, and similar to it, as in nvst of the smaller species of the genus Dimensions of the type, measured on the spirit specimen. Forearm, 42 mm. 2 JoUmul of the F.M.S. Museums. [Vol. VII, Head and body, 57; tail, 39; ear, 14; tragus, length on inner edge 3, width 2-3. Third finger (epiphyses not fully ossified), metacarpus 39; first phalanx, 15; lower leg and hind foot with claw, 25.5 mm. Skull, greatest length. 17.4; condyle to front of canine 15.8; basi-sinual length, 12.4; palato-sinual length. 6.3; front 3 of canine to back of m , 6.2 mm. Habitat and Type, as above. This bat has been determined as E.paphyotist Dobs, of Assam, to which it is no doubt closely allied. But it may be distinguished by its larger size (the type being barely adult), the attachment of the wing membrane to the middle of the metatarsus instead of to the base of the toes, and by its proportionally much larger outer upper incisor.

Undersurface "drab grey," the black beard when present contrasting markedly with the general light colour of the underside.

Mus. No. 391/12. Original number 5,163. Collected 1st December. 1912 by native collector. The light colour of the fine series of this bat is in striking contrast to its dark hues elsewhere. A large number of specimens are in the British Museum from other parts of the range of T. melanopogon; but none show the peculiar pallor of the present set. The Terutau specimens average on the whole the lightest, then those from Pulau Angsa, and the Batu Caves, Selangor. Other peninsular examples, of which there are few available, appear to average rather darker than in the extreme of fretensis. lighter than in true melanopogon.

  • Negotiating Visuals: Roles of Images in a Site-Specific Performance
    Negotiating Visuals: Roles of Images in a Site-specific Performance Muhizam Mustafa* and Roslan Chin School of the Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, MALAYSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Published online: 25 January 2019 To cite this article: Muhizam Mustafa and Roslan Chin. 2019. Negotiating visuals: Roles of images in a site-specific performance. Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse 18(Supp. 1): 47–52. https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2019.18.Supp.1.7. To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2019.18.Supp.1.7 ABSTRACT Wilkie (2004) in her research "Out of Place" discussed that theatre has a long history of experimenting with a variety of spatial configurations and visual relationships. However, it is only in the last two decades that the label "site-specific" has been applied to theatrical performance, indicating a new mode of place-bound practice. This paper looks at the association between a performative engagement with place and space and the role of visuals and scenography; an enhancement of a site-specific spatial formatted performance. The study also looks at the function of images as one area of the theatrical's "visual systems" that affects the creation and reception of a play. "Bermulanya Di Sini…Kedah Tua" is a contemporary theatrical research project based upon the archaeological findings in Lembah Bujang. The performance combines three different fields of study: performance, archaeology, and history. This research combines the idea of theory and practice to decode literary and historical sources by triangulating the relationship between archaeological artefacts, architectural space and time. Keywords: visual projection, scenography, site-specific, performance, archaeology INTRODUCTION The intersection between performative elements and theatrical exploration of space is a continuous process of negotiation.

  • 1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations
    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts.
