Topic: Papuan Bandicoot

	Peramelemorphia
		The order Peramelemorphia includes the bandicoots and bilbies: it equates approximately to the mainstream of marsupial omnivores.
		All members of the order are endemic to the twin land masses of Australia-New Guinea and most have the characteristic bandicoot shape: a plump, arch-backed body with a long, delicately tapering snout, very large upright ears, relatively long, thin legs, and a thin tail.
		A third view suggests that the bandicoot group evolved from a primitive carnivore, developed the syndactylous hind foot as a specialisation for climbing, and the diprotodonts then split off and evolved the two-tooth jaw that gives them their name.

		The islands of Torres Strait have been shown to be the denuded remnant of a former extension of Cape York peninsula in North Queensland.
		The opossums of America are marsupials, though not showing anomalies as great as kangaroos and bandicoots (in their feet), and Myrmecobius (in the number of teeth).
		Australia is inhabited by at least 1 Io different species of marsupials, which is about two-thirds of the known species; these have been arranged in five tribes, according to the food they eat, viz., the grass-eaters (kangaroos), the root-eaters (wombats), the insect-eaters (bandicoots), the flesh-eaters (native cats and rats), and the fruit-eaters (phalangers).

		The spiny mice, Acomys (or Acanthomys), of Western Asia, Cyprus and Africa, take their name from the fur being almost entirely replaced by flattened spines, and are further distinguished by the rudimentary coronoid process of the lower jaw.
		In the typical Australian and Papuan Hydromys, locally known as water-rats, the molars origin-ally have transverse ridges, the enamel folds between which form cutting edges whose sharpness depends upon the degree to which the teeth have been worn, while the large hind feet are webbed.
		The typical H. chrysogaster is a large brown rat with an orange belly, which feeds on small fishes and insects.

	Indonesia, Republic of - Search View - MSN Encarta
		In Papua, the indigenous Papuans of the interior, helped by their isolation, have retained a culture that is highly distinctive from that of other Indonesians.
		The coastal Papuans have mixed with Indonesians from other islands and have closer cultural affinities with those of neighbouring Melanesian peoples to the east and south of Papua.
		The largest non-indigenous group in Indonesia is the Chinese; most Chinese have been in the country for generations and the community has developed distinct local dialects and customs.

	Romni-Mond v Robertson [1967-68] PNGLR 136 (21 November 1967)
		On 1st July, 1967, a friend and fellow worker of the appellants was bitten by a snake whilst hunting bandicoot at night.
		Robertson, the manager of the plantation, upon this incident being reported to him, took the man to the Popondetta aid post and later to the hospital at Saiho where he died early in the morning of 2nd July.
		For example, in the Land Ordinance of 1911 of Papua provision existed for the Lieut.-Governor by proclamation to appoint a board or boards to decide all questions as to waste and vacant lands and cases of disputed ownership of land in which a Papuan native was a claimant.

	Warnings to Papuan boat people - National - theage.com.au
		The moves came as the latest group of Papuans trying to flee to Australia were reported to have been diverted to a coastal town in Papua New Guinea.
		David Manne, a lawyer representing the West Papuan protection visa holders, called for any new arrivals to be given the same treatment.
		He said that although the granting of protection visas to the earlier group of West Papuans had caused strain in the relationship with Indonesia, it was not a "fatal strain".

		The bandicoot was once the sole owner of fire, and cherishing his fire-brand, which he carried with him wherever he went, he obstinately refused to share the flame with any one else.
		The sharp eyes of the hawk saw it falling, and swooping down, with his wing he knocked it into the long dry grass, which was thus set alight so that the flames spread far and wide, and all people were able to procure fire.
		In some particulars the northern and central type shows relationship to the largely hypothetical Papuan stratum in Melanesia, although some of its most characteristic elements, such as the origin of man from embryonic beings, have thus far not been reported from the Melanesian area.

		In some versions, the woman then became the wife of one of the men, and all mankind are supposed to be descended from the pair.
		A dog, a snake, a bandicoot, a bird, and a kangaroo all saw this smoke and asked, "Who will go to get fire?" First the snake said that he would make the attempt, but the sea was too rough, and he was compelled to come back.
		in how far we are justified in attributing one set of myths to the older Papuan stratum and another to the later Melanesian layer is very difficult to say, since but little from the purer Papuan tribes of the area has as yet been recorded.

		They took us to the first stop of the day a group of trees a few hundred yards from the coast where we were delighted to see our first Papuan Frogmouths — a new family for all of us.
		The next day we decided to retrace some of our steps in search of new species and to give Maggie views of the Papuan Frogmouths which were obligingly even lower down their roost branch.
		The only notable birds seen were Brown Cuckoo Dove and a Bridled Honeyeater at the Ice Cream Factory where we stopped to enjoy some unusual flavours of ice cream.

		Several afternoon walks along the Waterfall Trail were notable for the high rope bridges, Macgregor's Bowerbird, Loria's Bird of Paradise and Short-tailed Paradigallas.
		In the Alpine grasslands and forest patches of Tari Gap, we enjoyed Papuan Harriers, Meyer's and Black-mantled Goshawks, and an unusually confiding flock of Archbold's Bowerbirds.
