Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Contribution to the Zoogeography of the East Indian Islands, Vol. 44 During 1906-1907 I visited the East Indies. A short preliminary account of the trip, with notices of some new species, was published in the Bulletin of this Museum (Bull. M. C. Z., 1908, 51, p.313-325). The descriptions of other new species based wholly or in part on the material collected have appeared in the Proceedings of the Biological society of Washington, 190S, 21, p.39-42, 189-190; 1910, 23, p.89-90, p.169-170;1911, 24, p.15-22.The present paper deals more fully with the collections of reptiles and amphibians. Narrative And Itinerary. It is hardly necessary to give more than a brief outline of the early part of the voyage. Bombay was reached November 2, 1906, via Peninsula and OrientalS. S.Co. ships from Brindisi, via Port Said and Aden. A short time was spent in crossing India, visiting the hills about Darjeeling, the Teesta Valley, and the Sunderbans of Lower Bengal. Rangoon was reached by the ship Bharala belonging to the British India Steam Navigation Company. Visits to Mandalay and Bhamo, at the head of navigation on the Irewady River, with short collecting trips to one or two other localities, completed the work done in Burma. Another ship of the same line was taken to Singapore via Penang. In Singapore I was fortunate enough to find a Chinese boy, Ah Woo by name, who became a most faithful servant and a very skillful collector. His slight knowledge of EngUsh, added to a fluency in Malay, made him often helpful as an interpreter, and even at times as a teacher. The Malay language as spoken in the bazaars is not difficult, and a knowledge of sentence formation once gained, proficiency in the language involves only the memorizing of a vocabulary. Work in the East Indies began with collecting for a few days about Batavia, Contributions from the Zoological Laboratory of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, under the direction of E.L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Shape of Nature vividly recounts the turbulent early history of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard and the contrasting careers of its founder Louis Agassiz and his son Alexander. Through the story of this institution and the individuals who formed it, Mary P. Winsor explores the conflicting forces that shaped systematics in the second half of the nineteenth century. Debates over the philosophical foundations of classification, details of taxonomic research, the young institution's financial struggles, and the personalities of the men most deeply involved are all brought to life. In 1859, Louis Agassiz established the Museum of Comparative Zoology to house research on the ideal types that he believed were embodied in all living forms. Agassiz's vision arose from his insistence that the order inherent in the diversity of life reflected divine creation, not organic evolution. But the mortar of the new museum had scarcely dried when Darwin's Origin was published. By Louis Agassiz's death in 1873, even his former students, including his son Alexander, had defected to the evolutionist camp. Alexander, a self-made millionaire, succeeded his father as director and introduced a significantly different agenda for the museum. To trace Louis and Alexander's arguments and the style of science they established at the museum, Winsor uses many fascinating examples that even zoologists may find unfamiliar. The locus of all this activity, the museum building itself, tells its own story through a wonderful series of archival photographs.
