This chapter takes a broad look at the Pacific Ocean in relation to Chinese migration. As trade, consumption and capital flows followed migrants, powerful networks were woven and sustained; in time, the networks fanned across the Pacific from British Columbia along the West Coast of the United States to New Zealand and Australia. The overlapping personal, family, financial and commercial interests of Chinese in California and those in Hong Kong, which provide the focus of this study, energized the connections and kept the Pacific busy and dynamic while shaping the development of regions far beyond its shores. The ocean turned into a highway for Chinese seeking Gold Mountain, marking a new era in the history of South China, California, and the Pacific Ocean itself.

Ten species of Gnathostomulida, three new to science, are reported from the SE end of South Island, New Zealand: Haplognathia asymmetrica, H. gubbarnorum, H. rosea, H. ruberrima, Pterognathia sica, P. ugera, P. tuatara n. sp., P. portobello n. sp., Gnathostomula cf. salotae and Austrognatharia australis n. sp. This paper brings the number of species known from New Zealand to 12, of species known from the Pacific Ocean to 43, and of described gnathostomulid species worldwide to 98.

The continuous sequence of Maastrichtian to Paleocene sediments exposed in the Sierra Dorotea area in southwestern Santa Cruz (Argentina) contains a rich molluscan fauna with many elements characteristic of the Weddellian Faunistic Province. The presence in this fauna of genera such as Taioma, Heteroterma, Fyfea, Zemacies, and Priscaphander suggests close affinities with faunas of similar age from New Zealand, further supporting the existence of continuous shallow-sea conditions along the southern margin of the Pacific Ocean during the end of the Cretaceous and beginning of the Tertiary. In this paper 25 species are described, of which six are new: Pseudofax costellatus n. sp., Taioma patagonica n. sp., Heteroterma elegans n. sp., Fyfea beui n. sp., Priscaphander sanjosensis n. sp., and Priscaphander bracaccinii n. sp.

The marine fish family Emmelichthyidae is redefined to include only the genera Emmelichthys (four species), Erythrocles (four species) and Plagiogeneion (two species). Two new species of Emmelichthys from the Pacific Ocean are described. Emmelichthys nitidus Richardson is divided into two subspecies: E. nitidus nitidus occurring from South Africa to New Zealand and E. nitidus cyanescens (Guichenot) from the Juan Fernandez Islands and coast of Chile. Descriptions and keys to the genera and species are provided.

Maritime security in the Pacific differs according to whose security is under threat and in what geographical location. Like the fluidity of the ocean, maritime security is dynamic involving multiple interests. But the Pacific is also a very bordered space. Drawing on a December 2019 study tour of US defence facilities in Hawai’i, this article addresses the question “How are United States (US) and New Zealand maritime security interests bordered in the Pacific and what are the implications?” First, the article situates maritime security within state territoriality and defence of borders. It then examines the Pacific Ocean as a bordered space, and sketches US and New Zealand interests within it, including differentiating Indo-Pacific from Pacific. Next, each country’s means of securing their maritime domains in the Pacific is explicated, the arenas of cooperation and gaps in knowledge worth re searching further. It concludes by discussing US-NZ maritime cooperation with in the framing of a Pacific maritime borderscape. One potential borderscape is the Polynesian Triangle. This article argues that defining a specifically bordered theatre of cooperation such as the Polynesian Triangle, driven by Pacific Island needs, is required to provide balance and visibility to non-military maritime security matters. Such a theatre of cooperation warrants further research.

Vast Network

Almost all Pacific histories, ethnographic studies and literary analyses begin by commenting that the Pacific is a very large ocean. To scholars unfamiliar with Pacific studies this seems a rather obvious observation. Why not begin by saying that the Pacific is a very wet ocean or a very blue ocean? As I conducted my own research on the islands, however, I began to understand how this seemingly obvious statement underpinned so many of the choices, both rhetorical and theoretical, that defined my work. The Pacific Ocean covers a total area of over 69 million square miles, almost one third of the earth’s surface, touching multiple continents and containing a constantly changing number of islands with a highly mobile and diverse set of populations. As a result, scholars refer to the ocean’s vastness by way of an apology: ‘Please forgive what I cannot begin to cover; the peoples and places that my account sacrifices to present one study, one viewpoint, one glimpse into a vast and ever-changing area. The Pacific is a very large ocean.’ There are so many Pacific stories to be told; I can only examine a microscopic portion of a vast network that still has many avenues that should and hopefully will be explored. By necessity, this book focuses on a very narrow vision of the Pacific as it attempts to trace the story of British literature produced in the long nineteenth century outside the colonial centres of Australia and New Zealand. By narrowing my project to focus only on the impressions of one country and time period, I unsurprisingly exclude many interesting and important perspectives that I hope future scholars will trace, and in defence of the choices I have made, I offer the following rationale: the Pacific is a very large ocean....
