La pisciculture en eaux salées
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Gobin, A.
La pisciculture est l'industrie qui a pour but d'exploiter les eaux par la production, l'élevage ou l'engraissement des Poissons, Crustacés, Mollusques, Annélides ou Zoophytes alimentaires ou simplement utiles. Elle opère, soit dans les eaux douces, soit dans celles plus ou moins salées, les seules dont nous ayons à nous occuper ici. Elle comprend logiquement deux études fondamentales : Celle des milieux, c'est-à-dire de l'eau, au point de vue de sa constitution physique et chimique; Puis celle des êtres que nous voulons y faire vivre et y multiplier, la physiologie de leurs fonctions, leurs moeurs, leur régime, etc.

Autores: Martin, K.
Das fusus-ähnliche Gehäuse trägt ein hohes Gewinde, dessen embryonaler Theil aus einem einzigen, glatten Umgange besteht und ohne scharfe Grenze in die Mittelwindungen übergeht. Die Zahl der letzteren beträgt vier; sie besitzen einen scharf ausgeprägten Spiralwinkel, welcher den hinteren, leise concaven Abschnitt der Umgänge von dem vorderen, convexen, scheidet. Die Querwülste, deren Zahl bis zu elf beträgt, fallen nur wenig in die Augen; im Spiralwinkel tragen sie je einen länglichen Knoten, und nach vorne schliesst sich hieran noch eine zweite Längsreihe von Knoten an. Zwischen beiden entwickelt sich am jüngeren Gehäusetheile bisweilen eine Spirale, und zwei weitere, deutliche Spiralen begleiten die vordere Naht. An der Schlusswindung sind die Querwülste...

Autores: Ritsema Cz., C.
Mr. René Oberthür of Rennes again sent me for identification four Helota-specimens from Upper-Burma, collected by Mr. Doberty in the neighbourhood of the » Mines des Rubis” at an elevation of 1200—2300 meter above the level of the sea. These specimens belong to three species of which two are new to science; the third species, Helota notata Rits. ²), was represented by a female specimen which is now in the collection of the Leyden Museum.

On Dactylumys dactylinus and Kannabareomys amblyonyx

Autores: Jentink, F.A.
Dactylomys is the name of a genus of South-American Rats, created in 1838 by Mr. Is. Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire ¹) for the reception of Echimys dactylinus of Mr. E. Geoffroy- Saint-Hilaire (1817). Mr. Is. Geoffroy bestowed the specific title typus on that animal and herein all the later authors ²) have followed him, although according the rule of priority it would have been more correct to retain the name given by Mr. E. Geoffroy and to call the animal Dactylomys dactylinus. But as it perhaps is a matter of euphony and as Is. Geoffroy’s name typus once had gained the victory I followed in my paper in the Notes from the Leyden Museum, 1887, p. 224, the bad example of my predecessors.

Autores: Jentink, F.A.
In van der Hoeven’s Tijdschrift voor Natuurlijke Geschiedenis en Physiologie, 1838-39, a small bat has been described by Dr. S. Müller under the name Pachysoma brachyotis. That author collected a large number of specimens, all in the same locality, a deep lime-stone cave, on the bank of the river Dewej, in the interior of Borneo: these type specimens are in our Museum. Dobson (Catalogue, 1876) remarks under the head Cynopterus brachyotus that an examination of the types of brachyotus (lege brachyotis) in the Leyden Museum has shown him that the Andaman-island variety (described by him in 1873 as Cynopterus marginatus, var. andamanensis) is identical with Müller’s species.

A new Mammal from Sumatra

A few years ago a new and interesting mammal, which is exceedingly rare, even in its native haunts, was brought to the then Resident of Palembang, Mr. A. Pruys van der Hoeven. This gentleman who is not only an eager sportsman, but also well-versed in natural history, recognised it to be new to science and to be more closely allied to certain representatives of the Edentata, than to any other order of mammals. — The type-specimen was held in captivity for several weeks, was fed on ants and afterwards on cooked rice and was sent alive to Europe in order to be examined, described and ultimately preserved in the Royal Museum at Leyden. It unfortunately died on board the vessel, on its way to Holland, and by an unaccountable blunder on the part of one of those...

Last year our Museum received a very large earthworm, collected in Brazil by Mr. H. du Dréneuf. I believe the specimen must be identified with Anteus gigas, though it does not agree in all its characters with the description given by Perrier of this species ¹). This description was based upon two specimens, one from Cayenne, the other from an unknown locality. Although our worm is not in a very good state of preservation, so that some interesting points of its organisation remained unknown to me, my examination has enabled me to add something to our rather scanty knowledge of this species, and to come to a certain conclusion about the question of its supposed identity with Microchaeta rappi.

The following table will clearly show the distinctive characteristics of the genera of the first division of Lacordaire’s group Rhynchophorides (Genera des Coléoptères. Tom. VII. p. 271): a.

In the Zoological Garden of Dresden, since the year 1887, there has been a living specimen of a Cercopithecus, brought hither from Central West-Africa by Dr. Ludwig Wolf. This specimen so obviously represents an undescribed species of monkey, that I need not hesitate any longer in describing it shortly, though this can be done but imperfectly during its life-time. The following remarks, therefore, must be looked upon as preliminary only, to be completed after the animal’s death. This new species belongs to the Mona-group, which was divided by Prof. Schlegel (Cat. Mus. Pays-Bas, Singes, 1876, p. 80) into those with white over the root of the tail and those-without it.

A more extensive collection, however, was received in 1888 by Mr. M. C. Piepers, which collection owed its origin to the following circumstances: During the month of June 1888 Mr. A. G.

If we separate some aberrant forms like Babirussa, Dicotyles, Phacochoerus, Potamochoerus and Porcula ¹) from Cray’s suborder Setifera, there remains a large series of Pigs which present a striking resemblance in external appearance and in dentition; they more or less remember our common Sus scrofa. The latter is the only representant in Europe, meanwhile the others are distributed over Asia, the islands of the East Indian Archipelago and New-Guinea. If comparing the members of this group with Sus scrofa and at the same time if paying attention to their geographical distribution, one discovers that the group may be split in several smaller ones which generally coincide with a more or less restricted geographical area; names have been given to the latter...

In a paper on the Australian Schizorrhinidae Dr. Kraatz established a. o. a new genus Dysephicta (Deuts. Ent. Zeitschr. XXIV, p. 208) for the reception of Cetonia bifida Oliv. (the Schizorrhina bifida of G. &amp; P., Schaum and the Munich Catalogue), which was said to be from India or. The type specimen of G. &amp; P. having now passed into the possession of Mr. Oberthür, it has, however, turned out to be, instead of an Indian insect, the well-known Anochilia republicana Coq. from Madagascar, for which Dr. Kraatz has proposed the new generic name Coquerelia (l. c. p. 314). About this genus Mr. O. E. Janson remarks at the end of his description of Anochilia incilis (Cist. Ent. III, p. 147), »the characters given by Kraatz to distinguish his genus Coquerelia...

Some additions to the Mammalian-fauna of Billiton
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Jentink, F.A.
In the Notes from the Leyden Museum, 1890, p. 149, I said that Sciurus prevostii belongs to the fauna of Billiton; this statement was based upon two specimens procured by the late Teysmann in 1877 in that island and presented to our Museum (cf. Cat. syst. des Mammifères, 1888, p. 26, m and n). Dr. Vorderman kindly informs me that Sciurus prevostii perhaps formerly has been introduced there and afterwards has grown wild. Specimens have been brought over from Mendanao, a small island close to the west coast of Billiton, and are at present living in Billiton in the neighborhood of Tandjong Pandan, N. W. Billiton, in the gardens, having escaped from their cages. He nowhere in the interior observed a single specimen. According to Dr. Vorderman in Billiton is...

Archey Thomas Demery
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Büttikofer, J.
A few weeks ago we received the sad news from Robertsport of the decease of our Liberian collector A. T. Demery. This is a great loss for the sake of zoological investigation in Liberia and the neighbouring districts of Sierra Leone, and especially for our Museum which, by this death, looses its last direct connection with that part of Western Africa. As the readers of our »Notes” will remember, the collections received from Mr. Demery since about a year were very interesting, and amongst many objects contained several novelties. His last collection, made on the Sulymah River, is expected in here every day, and as soon as we will have received it, an ample list will be prepared of the birds collected by him on the mentioned river.

List of Reptiles brought from Siam by Mr. R. C. Keun
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Lidth de Jeude, Th.W. van.
In the beginning of this year Mr. R. C. Keun, formerly Consul of the Netherlands at the empire of Siam, presented the Leyden Museum with a small collection of Reptiles from the neighbourhood of Bangkok. As Mr. Keun, because of ill-health, resigned his honourable employment, he will not be in a position again to add other Siamese specimens to those we have already received, and it is therefore that I give a list of this valuable collection, the more valuable as the Reptiles of the Indian continent are very poorly represented in our Museum, those of Mr. Day’s precious collection ¹) being almost our sole representatives of the Indian herpetological fauna. In making up this list I follow the nomenclature and the arrangement adopted by Mr. G. A. Boulenger in...

On Engraulis japonicus Schlegel
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Reuvens, C.L.
In his »Catalogue of Fishes”, Vol. VII, 1868, p. 387, Dr. Günther says, that he agrees with Valenciennes ¹) in the opinion, that Engraulis japonicus Schlegel (Fauna Japonica, 1850, Pisces, p. 239, tab. CVIII, fig. 3) should be identical with E. ringens Jenyns (Voyage of the Beagle, 1842, Fishes, p. 136). On p. 390 of the same volume the author mentions Atherina japonica Houttuijn, with E. commersonianus Richards, as synonyme. E. ringens is found at the Pacific coast of America, E. japonicus Schleg. in the Japanese seas; yet Günther considers it not a very extraordinary fact, that a same species should occur on these two widely separated coasts. As the author, in 1880, described the shore-fishes of the Challenger-expedition (Chall. exped., 1880, Zoology,...

The Birds of Billiton
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Vorderman, A.G.
The Island of Billiton is situated between Sumatra, Borneo and Java. From a geological point of view, it may be considered to be a continuation of the chain, formed by the Malay Peninsula, the Mountains of the Riouwand Linga Archipelago and of the Island of Banka, from which latter it is separated by Strait Gaspar, while the tolerably broad Karimata Passage separates it from Borneo. Although Billiton lies in the centre of a zoologically tolerably well-explored region, the fauna of this island was still unknown. That was the reason for my visit to the island in the month of June 1888, during which time I not only travelled through the greater part of it, but also chanced to cross to the neighbouring Island of Mendanao, where I spent three days in the...
