June
The June issue of Australia’s best quarterly, “The B.P. Magazine,” is to hand.
This issue is of unusual interest to Pacific Islands readers. It contains another interesting article by the well-known anthropologist, Dr. Ian Hogbin, entitled “Money and Marriage in the Solomon Islands.” New Guinea is well represented by a page of excellently reproduced photographs, giving glimpses of the New Guinea Goldfields and the varied types of natives who live near that rich area. There is also an informative sketch on the La Perouse Memorial at Botany Bay, N.S.W., which provides a link with that famous French navigator who sailed to Tahiti, Samoa, and the New Hebrides with a scientific research expedition, before the party was wrecked in the Santa Cruz Islands at the end of the eighteenth century.
For those who delight in tales of travel, an article beautifully illustrated by the author, Mr.
E. O. Hoppe, on San Marino —the world’s smallest and most romantic republic—and a description cf
the old-world Island of Cyprus, in the Mediter ranean Sea, are included. A choice selection of short stories, photographs, and general articles complete this perfectly printed and attractive issue of the magazine.
