ABSTRACT
RESTRICTED FAUNAS AND ETHNOZOOLOGICAL INVENTORIES IN WALLACEA l
Roy F. Ellen
The title I have chosen may suggest that my subject is an obscure and highly specific one. I hope to be able to demonstrate that it is, in fact, highly relevant and general. It is so because it addresses itself to a particular instance of the problem of the relationship between the environment as it is perceived by a specified community of South East Asians and the environment as delineated by contemporary biological science. It concerns the relationship - both similarities and differences - between what have been variously described as cognitive, cognized, perceived, conscious or home-made models and interpretative, operational or scientific ones (Rappaport 1963:159, 1968:237, Bates 1960:554, Brookfield 1969, LeviStrauss 1953:526-7, Ward 1965:113).
