This paper presents two innovations in the clause chaining system of the Sogeram languages of Papua New Guinea. In the first, chain-final morphology was reanalyzed as chain-medial morphology with different-subject switch reference meaning. In the second, common collocations of two verbs in a clause chain were reanalyzed as constituting a single compound verb stem. Previously, scholars held that increased structural integration of clauses necessarily results in structural asymmetry (that is, subordination), but the Sogeram data show that this need not always be the case. The cross-linguistic impulse towards increased integration is realized in both innovations, but the impulse towards asymmetry is only realized in the first. This paper thus argues that with coordinate source constructions such as these clause chains, one clause may become subordinate to the other, but the clauses may also retain their coordinate relationship as they become more integrated.

Paramedetera, gen. nov., is described on the basis of three species: P. papuensis, sp. nov., the type species from Papua New Guinea, P. sumatrensis, sp. nov., from the lowlands in West Sumatra, and P. orientalis (Hollis, 1964), comb. nov., from the highlands in West Sumatra. Paramedetera, gen. nov., is closely allied to Medetera, but is a more ancestral branch. It is phylogenetically situated between on one hand Corindia and Thrypticus and on the other hand Medetera and Dolichophorus.

Abstract Four new species of Heth are described from diplopods collected in different parts of Viet Nam: Heth vietnamensis sp. n. and H. tonkinensis sp. n. in Ba Vi National Park, Ha Tay Province; H. taybaci sp. n. in Lai Chau Province and H. taynguyeni sp. n. in Chu Yang Sin National Park, Dak Lak Province. The new species are morphologically related to those described from Papua New Guinea, but are differentiated by the form of the female cuticular armature. Heth vietnamensis sp. n. is characterised by the posterior end of the lappets overhanging the anterior pair of the lateral spines, the similar size of spines in both pairs and the presence of two pairs of small papillae on the anterior lip of the cloacal aperture. Heth tonkinensis sp. n. can be differentiated from the other species by having the longest lappets, lateral spines with fused bases and the unequal-sized spicule heads. Heth taybaci sp. n. has the shortest lappets of the described Vietnamese species, has gaps between the lateral spines that are wider than the spine base and the presence of a bursa-like cuticular fold at cloacal aperture level. Heth taynguyeni sp. n. males also have a bursa-like cuticular fold but, unlike H. taybaci sp. n., this species is characterised by the bifurcate distal tips of the spicule and the undulating inner margin of the lappets.

The Individual

In this issue’s forum, Nigel Rapport takes his lead from Georg Simmel, who asked how society is possible. Simmel notes that every individual has a sense of being connected to others, and it is through these connections that the individual has a ‘grasp of the whole complex as society’ (1971: 8). But this understanding is only realised through particular, concrete interactions. The individual in Simmel’s sociology, then, can only exist as an individual through this engagement with others – with, in short, ‘society’. It is this set of relations, it seems, that makes society possible. However, Simmel suggests that the picture an individual gains of the Other through personal contact is based on certain distortions – classifications of a general and conventional nature, some of which may be alienating. At the same time, Simmel also indicates that the individual simultaneously remains separate from society: ‘It seems, however, that every individual has in himself a core of individuality which cannot be re-created by anybody else whose core differs qualitatively from his own. . . . We cannot know completely the individuality of another’ (9–10).

Thirty-four new species and five new genera of euophryine jumping spiders from Papua New Guinea are described. Thenew genera are Chalcolemia (type species C. nakanai sp. nov.), Phasmolia (type species P. elegans sp. nov.), Variratina(type species V. minuta sp. nov.), Viribestus (type species V. suyanensis sp. nov.) and Zabkattus (type species Z. brevis sp.nov., plus new species Z. furcatus sp. nov., Z. richardsi sp. nov. and Z. trapeziformis sp. nov.). The other new species belong to the genera Bathippus (B. directus sp. nov., B. gahavisuka sp. nov., B. korei sp. nov., B. madang sp. nov.), Canama(C. extranea sp. nov., C. fimoi sp. nov., C. triramosa sp. nov.), Omoedus (O. brevis sp. nov., O. darleyorum sp. nov., O.meyeri sp. nov., O. omundseni sp. nov., O. papuanus sp. nov., O. swiftorum sp. nov., O. tortuosus sp. nov.), Paraharmochi-rus (P. tualapaensis sp. nov.), Sobasina (S. wanlessi sp. nov.), Thorelliola (T. aliena sp. nov., T. crebra sp. nov., T. joannaesp. nov., T. squamosa sp. nov., T. tamasi sp. nov., T. tualapa sp. nov., T. zabkai sp. nov.) and Xenocytaea (X. agnarssonisp. nov., X. albomaculata sp. nov., X. proszynskii sp. nov.). The genera Pystira and Zenodorus are both considered as juniorsynonyms of Omoedus because of their similar genital structure. Species of these two genera are therefore transferred toOmoedus. Diagnostic illustrations are provided for all new species, and photographs of living spiders are also provided when available.

The One

A central issue in the regional prehistory over the Transition — and therefore of this whole set of papers — is the different life-ways that came to be followed in Papua New Guinea and in Australia itself; the one became agricultural, the other hunter-gatherer. There is more to the story than that divide; this is a story of a human and created world, rather than a simple response to directing environment.

Political Commitments

This chapter is based on long-term research with people affected by the Ok Tedi mine in Papua New Guinea, including involvement in a lawsuit seeking to halt its destructive environmental impact. It considers examples of ethnographic refusal, when anthropologists do not write about events that might harm their informants. It also examines relationships between engaged anthropologists and colleagues, lawyers and law, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and communities. This chapter and the next address these questions in the context of long-term research projects, while the other examples in the book consider these issues in relation to short-term, problem-focused research, which have their own challenges and opportunities.

High Elevations

Graphium weiskei goodenovii Rothschild, 1915 (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) has been known for over a century only from two male specimens: one in the Natural History Museum, London; the other in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH). Endemic to Goodenough Island, in the D'Entrecasteaux group, Papua New Guinea, it was first collected on the summit of ‘Oiamadawa'a (Mount Madawaa, Mount Madara'a) in 1912 by New Zealand anthropologist Diamond Jenness. The second specimen, which became the holotype, was collected in mountains in the south of the island by Albert Stewart Meek, one of Walter, Lord Rothschild's most prolific collector/explorers for his museum at Tring in Hertfordshire. In each case, capture of specimens was sufficiently notable to be recorded contemporaneously by the captors. These data, and maps and photographs made by the collectors suggest that the butterfly was widespread at moderate to high elevations on Goodenough Island. The authors climbed ‘Oiamadawa'a in 2015 and collected further specimens, now deposited in OUMNH.

Abstract An analysis of the perturbations in the electron content up to the ionospheric F2 layer peak and F2 layer peak height (hmF2) variations during earthquake time has been done using ionosonde data observed in the equatorial station Vanimo, Papua New Guinea. Two earth quakes occurred, one of magnitude 7.1 in Sissano in 1998 and the other of magnitude 6.7 in Aitape in 2002 in the western province of Papua New Guinea, have been studied. A decrease in electron content was observed in both the cases a few days prior to the earthquakes. An increase in height of hmF2 during night time was also observed during this period. This can be explained in terms of the lithosphere- atmosphere-ionosphere coupling prior to earthquake period.
