T Pacific and its islands have long held allure for romantics and scientists alike. The ocean’s great size and galaxies of islands make it as appealing to botanists and biogeographers as to beachcombers.

In the last three years, two books have appeared that emphasize the relevance of the environmental history of Easter Island to that of planet earth.1 But Easter Island, like most Pacific islands—indeed, most islands anywhere—has had a particularly tumultuous environmental history. Evolution and history have conspired to give island peoples especially unstable environments. The island world of the Pacific shows the transforming power of intrusive species, including Homo sapiens, and of their efforts to secure niches for themselves.

Until about fifteen centuries ago the interaction of humans with the Southeast Asian rainforest was primarily one of interdependence. Trees were felled for food and aromatic woods, and in dryer zones to burn in a process of shifting cultivation, but population pressures were low enough for routine regeneration. Before the modern era of plantation agriculture and mechanised logging, two great changes had already affected the environment profoundly: (1) the elabo ration of permanently irrigated rice fields in upland valleys, creating substantial areas of permanent agricultural land progressively from about the 8th Century, and making possible greater concentrations of population, both agricultural and urban; (2) the rapid growth of commercial agriculture from the fifteenth century, primarily in pepper but later also sugar, cloves, gambier and coffee, which permanently deforested large areas of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Vietnam and the Malayan Peninsula. Parallel with this development was the increased commer cial felling of forest trees for the export of sandalwood from Timor and sappanwood from Siam. The retreat of large mammals, notably elephant and rhinoceros, was one measure of these changes.

tions has rarely been applied to Oceanian populations.l The main reason for this is that baptism registers are incomplete. At the time of expanding Christianity, the population registered by the missionaries was increasing. Moreover, it was affected by many biases. Young people converted in order to participate in the new way of life and the new economy, but old people rarely changed their religion and they lived and died in the animism of their ancestors. This bias in age structure of the Christian population may be important until all the population was converted. Another bias occurs because not all baptised persons were newly born children, but sometimes older children or adults, and this was not always noted by the missionary. Death registration often began later than baptism registration and is usually less complete (some deaths are registered as baptism Hn articulo mortis').
