Abstract

Links forged over the years between Singapore and the Netherlands by two naturalists, Michael Tweedie of the Raffles Museum and Woutera van Benthem Jutting of the Zoological Museum of the University of Amsterdam, are illustrative of mid-twentieth-century collaboration. For a project instituted on the periphery of contemporary international scientific networks, Tweedie was able to enrol van Benthem Jutting through his skilful use of specimens and editorial resources.
