Excepting the few species noticed in the Report on the Ostracoda of the “Challenger” Expedition, scarcely anything, so far as I know, has been published respecting the Ostracoda of the South Sea Islands. Prof. G. M. Thomson has indeed published in the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute (1878), a paper on Crustacea, which includes a few marine and fresh-water Ostracoda of New Zealand; and the Rev. R. L. King, in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Van Diemen's Land (1855), described numerous species of Entomostraca, amongst which were several fresh-water, but no marine, Ostracoda. Dr Baird also published a species of Cypridina from New Zealand. I have myself contributed to the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London (1886) a paper on Entomostraca collected in South Australia, chiefly by Professor Ralph Tate of Adelaide, including a considerable number of fresh-water Ostracoda; and in a French publication (Les Fonds de la Mer), edited by the Marquis de Folin, there are likewise, by myself, descriptions of a few species taken at Nouméa, New Caledonia. There are also, in a paper of mine published in the Transactions of the Zoological Society (1865), notes of a few Australian marine species. This, I think, represents the sum of our present knowledge respecting the Ostracoda of these regions.

Subantarctic Fur Seals

Two fur seal species breed on the southern coast of Australia: the Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) and the New Zealand fur seal (A. forsteri). Two other species are vagrants: the subantarctic fur seal (A. tropicalis) and the Antarctic fur seal (A. gazella). We document records of vagrant fur seals in South Australia from 1982 to 2012 based primarily on records from the South Australian Museum. There were 86 subantarctic fur seals: 49 specimens and 37 sightings. Most (77%) were recorded from July to October and 83% of all records were juveniles. All but two specimens were collected between July and November. Sightings were prevalent during the same period, but there were also nine sightings during summer (December–February), several of healthy-looking adults. Notable concentrations were near Victor Harbor, on Kangaroo Island and Eyre Peninsula. Likely sources of subantarctic fur seals seen in South Australia are Macquarie and Amsterdam Islands in the South Indian Ocean, ~2700 km south-east and 5200 km west of SA, respectively. There were two sightings of Antarctic fur seals, both of adults, on Kangaroo Island at New Zealand fur seal breeding colonies. Records of this species for continental Australia and nearby islands are infrequent.

This paper concentrates on Witkacy’s Pure Form and the concept of Anthropophagy that was coined by Oswald de Andrade, and their affi nity with the notions of utopia and tropicality. Tropicality is detected in the form of the imaginary construction of Witkacy regarding the South Sea Islands on the one hand, and on the other in the utopic island of Vera Cruz, reinvented by Oswald de Andrade in his mature years. The seamen of the old world fi rst conceptualised Vera Cruz in this way in legends that alluded to the lost paradise and following this trace Oswald dreamt it could be a future paradise. Both Witkacy and de Andrade, beyond being artists, were thinkers of their specifi c cultures and had their theories regarding the future of mankind.
