Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Solomon Islands and Their Natives When, in the beginning of 1881, H. M. S. "Lark" was being prepared for her commission as a surveying ship in the Western Pacific, I was selected by Sir John Watt Reid, the Medical Director-General of the Navy, to be appointed as Surgeon. For this selection I was also in some measure indebted to the late Sir Frederick Evans, then Hydrographer, who was desirous that a person possessing tastes for natural history should be chosen. I subsequently received some instructions from Dr. Gunther, Keeper of Zoology in the British Museum, to whom I may take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks for the encouragement he gave to me during the commission. Unfortunately there were no public funds from which I could be assisted; and, as a matter of fact, I may state that all expenses had to come out of my pay as a naval surgeon. At the close of the commission I received, mainly through the influence of Dr. Gunther, a promise of a grant of 150 from the Royal Society of London for the exploration of the interior of the large island of Guadaleanar; but a very serious illness prevented me from carrying out my intention, and thus an expedition, which I had looked forward to as a fitting completion of my work in these islands, was never undertaken. However, mt disappointment was in some measure diminished on my arrival in England, after being invalided, by the important results arising from the examination by Dr. John Murray, Director of the Challenger Commission, of that portion of my geological collection which threw light on the formation of coral reefs, and which exhibited the deep-sea deposits of the Challenger Expedition as rocks composing islands in the Solomon Group. To Dr. Murray I am indebted for much kindness in many ways, and I gladly take this opportunity of expressing my sincerest thanks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of the Solomon Islands by Alvaro De Mendana in 1568, Vol. 2: Translated From the Original Spanish Manuscripts When we were about 500 leagues from the coast of Peru we saw a great quantity of birds, but after three days we saw them no more. Here we took the sun, and found that we were 8 degrees south of the equator; and we believed ourselves to be 900 leagues from the coast of Peru. We again saw quantities of birds, and navigating in the latitude of 7 degrees full, we sighted land, which was a small island. As we approached it, seven canoes of Indians came out, but they would not come near enough for us to find out whether they were negroes or Indians, and the canoes having gone further ofl', returned to shore, where they displayed many flags, and lighted fires during the night. The next morning we had a storm of wind and rain, which, with the numerous currents, obliged us to go forward without touching at the island, to which we gave the name of the Island of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Melanesians and Polynesians: Their Life-Histories Described and Compared MY acquaintance with the natives of the East and West Pacific extends over a term of forty eight years. During that time I resided in Samoa for fourteen years continuously, from 1860 to 1874, and I have often visited the group in later years. In 1875 I landed in New Britain, now named the Bismarck Archipel. At that time there was no white man living in the group, and practically nothing was known of those islands or of the people living there. I resided there until the end of 1880, with the exception of the time occupied by two visits to Australia, and I have revisited that group on several occasions since that time. My acquaintance with the great Solomon Islands group began in the year 1879, and since then I have visited the group on several occasions. During these many voyages I have visited Tonga, Fiji, New Hebrides, Santa Cruz, New Ireland, New Hanover, New Guinea, the large atolls of the Ontong Java and the Tasman groups, and many others of the smaller islands in the Pacific.

This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With reference to the different sections of this work, I should remark that the anthropological notes are for the most part now published for the first time. The translation of Gallego's Journal and the historical sketch of the re-discovery of the group will, I hope, have a general as well as a special interest. In my natural history notes it will be seen that I am greatly indebted to the papers on my collections of shells and reptiles by Mr. Edgar Smith and Mr. G. A. Boulenger. For the identification of the greater part of my botanical collection, I am indebted to the courtesy of the officials at Kew and particularly to that of Prof. Oliver. I take this opportunity of acknowledging the kind assistance I received at Melbourne from Baron Ferd. von Mueller. My inexperience in botanical collecting considerably diminished the value of my collections, which have further suffered from the fact that I have been unable after repeated application to learn anything of a collection of ferns that I presented to the British Museum. During the commission I profited greatly by Lieut. Malan's previous experiences of the Pacific Islands. To Lieut. Leeper I am greatly indebted, as shown in the chapters on the vocabulary of Bougainville Straits and on the meteorology of the group.

According to them, it is flat and safe the way it is; whereas, were it to be turned, the furniture would land on the ceiling and the inhabitants would drop off into Space. Consequently they oppose all efforts to budge it, tooth and nail. And unless you are dogged, you presently shrug your shoulders and quit.
