Messrs. Fox Brothers’ March
Yf/E shall publish in the February issue of the P.I.M. a detailed account of the remarkable journey made at the end of 1934 by Messrs. Fox Brothers, mining prospectors, of New Guinea. They left Mount Hagen in August, and marched westward, slightly to the north of the New Guinea-Papua border, until they en tered Dutch territory; and they returned to Mt. Hag’en, in New Guinea, along a course through Papua, which paralleled their outward track, but to the south wards.
The report has been supplied to us by Mr. L. A. Fox, and it gives a most inter esting description of topography and tribes noted in this hitherto unknown region.
Sir Hubert Murray, K.C.M.G., Lieu tenant-Governor of Papua, departed from Sydney for Norfolk Island by the Morinda on January 8 to spend several weeks’ holiday with his daughter, Mrs. C. R.
Finney, wife of the N.I. Administrator.
