FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS TO RADACK. The 17th of December, latitude 19° 44/, longitude 1G0° 7'' Since we left the island of Woahoo, we have always had either calm, or a very faint wind from S.E. ; besides this, the strong current from S.W. has carried us in three days 45 miles to N.E. ; but it has now taken its direction to S.W. On the Slst, at six o'clock in the evening, we were in latitude iG"" 55', longitude 169° IC, consequently on the same parallel, and 15 miles distant from Cornwallis Island. A sailor sat con- stantly at the mast-head without descrying land, whicli, however, we could not doubt to be near at hand, on account of the great number of sea-fowl which hovered round us.

The islands of the South Sea, no\v known as ..\ustralia and Tasmania, were discovered by European navigators, the latest of whom, James Cook, sailing under a comtnission from King George III, took possession of the whole eastern coast of both islands in the name of his Sovereign. Whatever may have been the effect of this in Public International Law, a title by occupation was obtained by the effective settlement of the islands and their appendages which followed. This was accompanied by express acts of Imperial Public Law, under which the whole of the lands so settled came, in legal intendment, into the possession of the King as representing the supreme executive pO"ler of the British Empire.

Madagascar Rainfall and Its Interrelationship with the OLR

Madagascar rainfall and its interrelationship with the OLR Rodolphe RAMIHARIJAFY, Djaffard MAXWELL, Adolphe RATIARISON and Bessafi MILOUD ABSTRACT The rainfall constitutes the element undoubtedly climatic determinant in the climatic characterization of the different regions of Madagascar. The goals of these researches are to study the relation between the OLR (Outgoing Longwave Radiation) and the pluviométrie in Madagascar, and to specify the geographical points of it where the values of OLR are in good interrelationship those of rains. Seen the insufficiency of number of meteorological stations in Madagascar, this survey finds its utility well on the rainfall survey, on the analysis of the displacement of the ZCIT and for the climatic forecasting of the big island. Applying the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and the transformation in wavelet, we noted two types of waves which are very dominant to Madagascar then: wave of period 10 to 20 days and the one of 5 to 7 days. The first nearly dominates the different regions of the big island, except to the center that is dominated by the second wave (5 to 7 days). While working on the filtered data, we could raise seven geographical points where the values of the OLR are in good interrelationship those of rain, as: dawned A(15° South; 50° Est) for the north region, B(25°S ;50°E) for the South, C(22,5°S,; 47,5°E) for the South is, D(17,5°S ;50°E) for the West South, E(20°S,; 47,5°E) for the Center, F(20°S ;50°E) for the Center is and G(20°S; 42,5°E) for the West center of Madagascar.

154 Federal Law Review [VOLUME 19 THE TORRES STRAIT ISLANDS: SOME QUESTIONS RELATING TO THEIR ANNEXATION AND STATUS RD LUMB* I Questions relating to the Torres Strait Islands and the rights of their inhabitants have come before the High Court in the last decade.! In one of these cases the High Court examined the constituent instruments by which the islands were annexed to Queensland in the nineteenth century. That case, Wacando v Commonwealth,2 established that Damley Island, which is situated about 92 miles north-east of Cape York Peninsula, was part of the Colony of Queensland and therefore within its boundaries at federation. The ratio of Wacando centred on the validating provisions of the Colonial Boundaries Act 1895 (Imp). There was however disagreement between various Justices in that case as to the effect of Imperial letters patent and local legislation passed in 1878 and 1879 which raised questions as to British constitutional law and practice relating to the annexation of new territory and the modification of colonial boundaries. These issues will be examined below.3 In 1859, the Colony of Queensland was established by Letters Patent made under the New South Wales Constitution Act 1855 (Imp).4 Clause 1 of those Letters Patent5 defined the boundaries of the area separated from New South Wales and constituted as a separate colony under the name of Queensland. After describing the land area, the Letters Patent provided that the territory of the new Colony included "all and every the adjacent islands their members and appurtenances in the Pacific Ocean". These island limits were not delineated by either an eastern meridian of longitude or a northern parallel of latitude.
Search for New Guinea's Boundaries

SEARCH FOR NEW GUINEA’S Torres Strait SEARCH FOR NEW GUINEA’S BOUNDARIES BOUNDARIES to the Pacific From Torres Strait to the Pacific This is the first study of the origin and evolution of the borders that Western Paul W. van der Veur powers have imposed upon New Guinea. Making extensive use of diplo matic correspondence, official docu ments, and Australian and Dutch patrol reports from the end of the nineteenth century up to the 1960s, Dr van der Veur gives the reader an insight into what happens when diplo mats and officials of different colonial administrations are faced with periodic crises over invisible boundaries. In this work the Irian boundary receives the most intensive treatment, but attention is also paid in separate chapters to the peculiar border between Queensland and Papua, and the lines which separate the Trust Territory of New Guinea from Papua and the British Solomons. In his conclusion the author surveys the heritage of absentee boundary-making and general uncon cern, and points to several idiosyn- cracies and unsolved problems. The text is supported by some excel lent maps, while the reader interested in consulting the original documents, most of which have not been published previously, may do so in a companion volume, Documents and Correspon dence on New Guinea’s Boundaries. Search for New Guinea’s Boundaries will be of great interest not only to specialists in international relations and political geography but also to the general reader, for it treats a topic which is gaining in international im portance in a scholarly and straight forward manner, often touched with humour.

Global climate change exhibits diversity characteristics on both temporal and spatial scales. Since the Moon-based earth observation platform could provide large-scale, multi-angle, and long-term measurements complementary to the satellite-based Earth observation data, it is necessary to study the observation characteristics of this new platform. With deepening understanding of Moon-based observations, we have seen its good observation ability in the middle and low latitudes of the Earth’s surface, but for polar regions, we need to further study the observation characteristics of this platform. Based on the above objectives, we used the Moon-based Earth observation geometric model to quantify the geometric relationship between the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
