The Zoogeography of the East Indian Archipelago

چکیده
NEARLY a year ago I received from my friend Dr. van Kampen a paper which seemed at once of such present interest and general excellence that I believed it should be made available for English-speaking students of zoogeography. Its original publication in Java makes it inaccessible to many. The essay was written to be read before the Debating Club of the Batavian Royal Natural History Society; and I am under obligation to both Dr. van Kampen and the president of the Koninklijke Natuurkundig Vereeniging for permission to make and publish this translation.

متن کاملAssessment of major ionic compositions and anthropogenic influences in the rainwater over a coal mining environment of Damodar River basin, India
In the present study, 45 rainwater samples were collected from February to December 2012 on event basis in East Bokaro coal mining environment. Physico-chemical and major ionic compositions of rainwater samples as well as water soluble major ion composition were analyzed to employ principle component analysis for source identification. The average pH value was recorded 6.1 and varied from 5.1 t...
