IVJESSRS. MASON, senior and junior, -‘■’■“■continue with their investigations in Papua, seeking suitable areas of Kuru kuru grass for paper manufacture. They have recently been inspecting the supply of Kuru-kuru grass in the Western Divi sion, but met with little success.
After visits to the Masingara, Oriomo, and Wassi Kussa districts, west of the Fly River, they have definitely decided that the conditions do not warrant any further investigations, and that no further action in regard to Kuru-kuru should be taken in the Western Division.
