Structure of the Sulu Sea and the Celebes Sea

The results of six two-ship seismic refraction profiles are presented in a schematic structure section between Palawan Island and the northern arm of Celebes Island. Along the line of section the northwest part of the Sulu Sea basin has seismic structure typical of submarine ridges and is believed to have been a part of the Palawan-Calamianes archipelago ridge that has subsided. A basement depression is filled with thick sediments whose surface is a terrace at a depth of 2000 meters. The deeper southeast part of the Sulu Sea basin and the Celebes Sea basin have oceanic crust. The separating Sulu archipelago ridge has seismic structure characteristic of an island arc, upon which sedimentation has produced a flat sea floor in most places. Linear troughs with a probable synclinal cross section occur in the basins adjacent to the northwest sides of Sulu ridge and Celebes Island.

Networks and Groups in Southeast Asia: Some Observations on the Group Theory of Politics

The paper describes a “dyadic” type of political structure which, it is argued, is a necessary supplement to class and interest group models for the analysis of informal political structure in contemporary Southeast Asia, and probably in other developing areas.Various types of simple and complex dyadic structures are described. The paper then examines four Southeast Asian polities, of different degrees of political development, with attention to the manner in which they combine group and dyadic structures. The examples are the Kalinga, a pagan ethnolinguistic group of Northern Luzon; the Tausug, a Muslim group of the Sulu archipelago; the traditional Thai monarchy; and the present Republic of the Philippines. In each case the effects of structure upon the operation of the system are explored. The paper concludes with a set of paired propositions concerning the characteristics of “trait associations” and “personal followings.”

Food and Drink among the Tawsug: With Comparative Notes from Other Philippine and Nearby Groups

As we have indicated in previous papers in this journal (Ewing, 1955, 1958, 1960, and 1962), the Tawsug, one of the Muslim groups included under the generic term Moros in the Philippines, inhabit the islands of the Sulu Archipelago stretching from Zamboanga, Mindanao, to the island of Borneo. As we have indicated in previous publications, the Tawsug essentially belong to the sub-culture area of the southern Philippines, however with enough differences to make them interesting. In this publication, we shall restrict ourselves to food and drink, first describing what is known about the Tawsug in this respect, and then furnishing comparative notes from other nearby peoples.

The Story of a nurse who served with the Philippine Army

Journal readers will remember other stories that Captain Clarke has sent us from the Southwest Pacific Area where she is serving as chief of the Public Relations Section for the Nursing Division in that area. Her most recent tour included the Visayen Islands and the Sulu Archipelago.

A Pearl from Nautilus

THE accompanying photograph shows a pearl (natural size), alleged to have been found in Nautilus pompilus, from the Sulu archipelago. It was lent to me for examination by Mr. T. H. Haynes, of the Montebello Islands, north-west Australia, one of the pioneers of the pearl-shelling industry in Australia and the East Indies, who is now in England. This pearl was given to Mr. Haynes, about 1884, by a half-breed Chinaman named Oto, brother-in-law to the late Sultan of Sulu, Mohamed Budderuddin.

The Gardens of the Sun; or, A Naturalist's Journal on the Mountains and in the Forests and Swamps of Borneo and the Sulu Archipelago

THIS book is the itinerary of a competent and enthusiastic botanist, whose main object was “the collection and introduction of beautiful new plants to the Veitchian collection at Chelsea,” in which he so far succeeded as to add about fifty ferns to the list of those already collected in Borneo, about twenty being also new to science, and to introduce alive the giant pitcher-plant of Kina Balu (Nepenthes Rajah, Hook. f.). But these alone by no means show the floral riches which have induced the author to use the by no means exaggerated term “Gardens of the Sun.” Amongst epiphytal orchids which here growing in mid-air “screened from the sun by a leafy canopy, deluged with rains for half the year or more at least, and fanned by the cool sea-breezes or monsoons,” is found the beautiful Phalœnopsis grandiflora; nor in the mountain vegetation are like floral riches absent; at 5000 feet the curious pitcher-plant, Nepenthes Lowi, was found epiphytal on mossy trunks and branches, and higher still a “large-flowered rhododendron, bearing rich orange flowers two inches in diameter, and twenty flowers in a cluster.” The forests and gardens of Borneo are equally rich in native and naturalised kinds of edible fruits, the mango, pine-apple, durian, rambutan, &c., being all alike plentiful and luxuriant, and, as Mr. Burbidge remarks, in some favoured districts in Malaya the forests almost become orchards on a large scale, so plentifully are they stocked.

On some Peculiar Forms of Navicula from the Sulu Archipelago

ABSTRACT Great diversity of opinion has existed among the most distinguished writers on the subject of the Diatomaceæ, as to the question whether Ehrenberg’s separation of Pinnularia from Navicula is tenable or not. The ground on which this distinction is made rests on the character of the striæ, which in Pinnularia are supposed to be costate, while in Navicula they are moniliform. Kützing rejected this distinction, while W. Smith and Rabenhorst maintained its validity. Ralfs in ‘Pritchard,’ p. 892, included the forms of Pinnularia under the genus Navicula, and gives his reasons for adopting this course as follows:—”Were the costæ always plainly developed, as in Pinnularia nobils and its allies, no difficulty could occur in determining the genera, but in many of the more minute species it is often very difficult to distinguish between striæ and costæ. We have not admitted Pinnularia here, partly for the reason just given, but principally because we cannot decide to which genus a large number of Ehrenberg’s species should be referred.” The existence of the distinctive characteristic is here admitted, but the genus founded on it rejected on account of the difficulty of applying it in many cases.
