| Woutera Sophie Suzanna van Benthem Jutting was born 6th February 1899 in Batavia, Island of Java, Netherlands Indies (now Djakarta, Djawa, Indonesia) from Dutch parents. Her father, Wouter Christiaan LL.D. (Leiden), then a member of the High Court of Justice in Batavia, had served his entire career in the Netherlands Indies. Her mother, Sophie Henriëtte Aegidia Bosch, was the daughter of a high-ranking civil officer in the Dutch colonial government. Tera’s father retired in 1900 and returned with his family to the Netherlands, settling first at Nijmegen and later at Heemstede near Haarlem. There, in 1915, Tera’s mother died from tropical spruw, then nearly always fatal. Her father died at Haarlem in 1933. From 1911 until 1916 Tera attended the secondary... |

| If you ask the layman: “What is a museum?”, he will answer. “A museum is a display of objects, that have an aesthetic value or scientific interest; the scope of a museum is to improve the taste of the visitor, is to give him, by visual means, aesthetic or intellectual enjoyment, to satisfy his curiosity, to show him the true and real things (a classic sculpture, an Indian weapon or a deepsea fish) instead of a documentary film, a radio report, or the descriptions and pictures in his books and magazines.” If an architect is in charge of designing a museum, he will see to it that the wallcases and the free-standing objects receive the right light and that the public and the conditioned air can circulate freely. He will design an entrance hall, an exhibition... |

| The English zoologist Thomas Pennant (1726—1798) visited The Hague in 1765. There he met another zoologist, Dr. Peter Simon Pallas (1741—1811). On July 30th they visited together the Dutch painter Aart Schouman (1710—1792). Pennant’s diary records: “Accompanied Doctor Pallas a very ingenious young man from Berlin, to Mr. Schouman’s, an exellent painter of beasts and birds in oil and water colours. Took a list of several which I want.—Great Owl. Sort of Nightingale. Young Cuckoo. Ruffe and Reeve. Kol eend a Duck, male and female. Teal. Hook Bill Duck. Een Zee coot. My new Guillemot. Wild Goose. Brent Goose Bernacle. Three small Divers. Ermine. Tragulus. Little Goat. Grey Squirrel. Two black Monkeys. Paca. Mungos Civet Cat. Little Antelope at the Menagery.... |

| The deltas of the rivers Rhine, Meuse (Dutch: Maas), and Scheldt (Dutch: Schelde; French: Escaut) are connected so intimately that it is impossible to trace exact boundaries between them. Together they form a strip of Holocene deposits (clay, sand and peat), about 50 km wide, lying between the North Sea to the west and northwest and the Pleistocene region of the Netherlands to the east and southeast. The delta of the river Scheldt is the southern part of the joint deltas of the three rivers; it is nearly identical with the present province Zealand of the Netherlands. Secular fluctuations of the average level of the sea in relation to the land, both positive and negative, together with sedimentation and erosion, from the earliest times onward to the present... |

| Three hitherto unpublished specimens of Hipposidéros larvátus (HORSFIELD, 1824) from the Island of Nias (off Sumatra’s West Coast), and one specimen of the same species from the Island of Sumba (ESE of Java) led us to a critical study of the subgeneric ”spéoris-group” of this genus of horseshoe bats. The taxonomical history of the genus Hipposideros Gray, 1831 is resumed (§ 1). The original picture of H. speoris (Schneider, 1800), under the name Vespertilio speoris was easily found in several libraries. The accompanying text, however, proved to be extremely rare. Thanks to the kind help of Dr van Deursen of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, we can give here the original text (§ 2) of which the date is discussed. The type locality of this... |

| An occipito-parietal skull fragment of a male specimen of Odobenus antverpiensis (Rutten, 1907), from the mouth of the River Scheldt (Netherlands) is described and figured. The animal lived probably about the transition Scaldisian-Merxemian (Pliocene-Pleistocene). It lived in coastal marine surroundings rich in shell-bearing molluscs and is not necessarily an indication of cool conditions. |
