Butterflies And Moths Of Curacao Aruba And Bonaire PDF Download

Excerpt from The Flora of Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire In continuation of his voyage to the Dutch West Indian Islands St. Eustatius, Saba and St. Martin, about which particulars are to be found in the first part of the Flora of the West Indian Islands), the author undertook a second voyage in 1909 1910 in order to study the flora of the Islands Curasao, Aruba and Bonaire. It was again on the suggestion of Dr. F. A. F. C. Went, Professor of Botany in Utrecht University, that this voyage was undertaken and it is principally owing to his exertions that the following corporations gave finantial support: de Maatschappij ter bevordering van het Natuurkundig onderzoek der Nederlandsche kolonien (Society for promoting the Physical investigation of the Dutch colonies), de Koninklijke Academie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam (Royal Society at Amsterdam) which put the P. W. Korthals fund at my disposal, the Committee for the F. W. van Eeden fund, het Koninklijk Xederlandsch Aardrijkskundig Genootschap (Royal Dutch Geographical Society), het Xederlandsch Xatuuren Geneeskundig Congres (the Dutch Physical and Medical Congress) and het Provinciaal Utrechtsch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen (Provincial Utrecht Society of Arts and Sciences); also the Botanical laboratory contributed towards the expense of transporting the plant collections in exchange for which it received the collections. To all these corporations I wish to express here my sincere thanks. Het Provinciaal Utrechtsch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen again subsidized in order to have this flora printed. Besides to the corporations mentioned the author is greatly indebted to Prof. Dr. F. A. F. C. Went and to his Excellency the Colonial Minister for his recommendation to the Governor of Curagao.
