To Claim the High Ground: Geography for the End of the Century
Geography as an integral branch of knowledge has suffered by an increasing division both between physical and human geography and between specialisms within each. It is argued that neither physical nor human geography has a viable independent existence, but in the absence of a unified geography will disintegrate into component specialisms at risk of absorption by neighbouring disciplines. The case is made for a unified geography, derived from For…

Coastal Morphology and Late Quaternary History, Cayman Islands, West Indies
Instrumental surveys of coastal profiles in the Cayman Islands, western Caribbean, reveal the presence of a horizontal erosional bench at +1.9 m on Grand Cayman and a deep horizontal notch at +6.4 m on Cayman Brac, but no raised erosional features on Little Cayman. Each island is surrounded by a horizontal constructional raised reef, usually below +2 m, here dated by U-series methods as 124,000 ± 8000 yr old, and hence broadly contemporary with o…

ANU Radiocarbon Date List VIII
The aims of the 1973 Great Barrier Reef Expedition's radiocarbon dating programs were: 1) to collect live specimens from various reef environments to serve as modern reference standards, 2) to evaluate suitability of materials from drilling, geomorphic, and sediment programs for dating purposes, and 3) to date appropriate samples related to those programs. Radiometric ages provide a time scale for evolution of reefs and reef islands, and the hist…
Geography, Education and Research
MY SUBJECT tonight is 'Geography, Education and Research', subjects which have been central to the Society's purpose throughout its history. I shall speak of the way in which the RGS mobilized its resources in the nineteenth century to persuade the universities of the worth of the subject as an academic discipline; of the way in which, after slow beginnings, academic geography has flourished and prospered; and of the dominant figures in our histo…

The RGS and the 'New Geography: Changing Aims and Changing Roles in Nineteenth Century Science
At its foundation in 1830 the RGS was mainly a society for travellers, soldiers and sailors, though with a substantial number of natural scientists, especially geologists. The latter played a major role in its affairs up to the death of Murchison. Towards the end of the century the Society's character changed markedly, partly as military men became less numerous, and partly as the natural scientists withdrew to their own increasingly professional…

Darwin, Lyell, and the Geological Significance of Coral Reefs
In the half century following Cook's entry into the Pacific in 1769, few tropical phenomena excited more attention than coral islands and the corals which evidently built them. In the eighteenth century corals occupied a critical position in the Great Chain of Being. Sometimes interpreted as animals, sometimes as plants, they built large topographic structures of limestone, and thus spanned the gap between the organic and inorganic worlds. ‘The s…

Darwin's Impact on Geography
Four themes in Darwin's writings are significant in the development of geographical thought. 1) The idea of development through time strongly influenced the progress of geomorphology, pedology, ecology, and to some extent the social sciences; 2) Darwin's stress on the intimate relationships between organic life and habitat gave impetus to organismic interpretations of regions and states, which persisted in geography long after the decline of biol…
Growth and Structure of Geography
GEOGRAPHERS CONCERNED with the history and nature of their subject have traditionally treated it in a literary, discursive and narrative manner, and such treatments are among the classics of our literature (R. Hartshorne, I939, I959; T. W. Freeman, 1961). It is, however, possible to approach these problems by the analysis of what it is that geographers do, both individually and corporately, in the belief that this will throw light on the characte…

Cambridge Expedition to British Honduras
Papers were read at the meeting of the Society on 16 January 1961 on the archaeo? logical, botanical, zoological and physiographical work of the expedition. The meeting concluded with a discussion of all aspects of the work. The paper printed below summarizes in Part I the background of the expedition and the activities of the archaeo? logical, botanical and zoological groups; the physiographical work is reported infull in Part II
Myth and Ceremonial among the Tunebo Indians of Eastern Colombia
IN MID-I959 an expedition from Cambridge University, England,' carried out fieldwork among the Indians of eastern Colombia. The Tunebos inhabit the deeply dissected, densely forested eastern foothills of the Andean Cordillera Oriental in the neighborhood of the Sierra Nevada de Cocuy, where several large river systems (Arauca, Casanare, Cravo Norte) rise and flow towards the Orinoco. The term Tunebo comprises some twenty autonomous groups of Indi…

British Honduras Cays and the Low Wooded Island Problem
THE TERM 'low wooded island', applied to all types of reef islands by early navigators,1 was redefined byJ. A. Steers in I9292 to refer to islands with distinctive characteristics situated in the steamer channel between the Queensland coast and the inner reefs of the Great Barrier system. Located on small patch reefs, they consist (Fig. I) of a simple sand cay on the leeward side, a complex of shingle ridges on the windward side, and, between the…

The Conservation of Aldabra
Sixty years ago, on 13 September 1908, the late Sir John Fryer landed on Aldabra, after visiting the neighbouring islands of Astove, Assumption and Cosmoledo, to spend four months carrying out an ecological survey. On 25 April 1910, Fryer described his findings at a meeting of this Society, and his accounts (Fryer 1910, 1911) remain the standard sources of information on these coral islands of the south-west Indian Ocean. At this time there had a…
