8vo. 19 pages, plus a sketch map and several photographic plate illustrations. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Engaging descriptions of eminent entomologist and author Lucy Evelyn Cheesman's journey to Vanimo, then north to Humboldt Bay (Tepati) and the Cyclops Mountains, with further excursions to hill villages in the boundary mountains of Papua New Guinea, from where she intended to collect twenty thousand insects for the South Australian Museum. Vivid anecdotal descriptions of encounters with the Tepati people; the people of Molol and Wanimo; incidents with crocodiles; life of the indigenous people in the villages near Vanimo; Vanimo itself and the efforts of the local mission there run by Father Hittenberger and Brother Michael. Cheesman devotes a lot of text to the 'forest people and hunters' of Krissa, recounting their ritual 'kill-song' connected with the pig hunt and their frightening beliefs in the mysterious 'sangumen' or sorcerer. Notable geographical detail includes descriptions of the Oinake Massif and Mount Oinake with its breath-taking cliffs of vivid colour, contrasts of bright green madreporic shrubs against dramatic purple shadows and stark white limestone.
