“Unknown Civilisation” at Choiseul, S.I.

TX 1932-33 Dr. Hugo Bernatzik, entorao legist and ethnologist, undertook an ex pedition to the Solomons, New Guinea and Bali; and “Sudsee,” just published by Constable, London, is an informal descrip tion of his experiences. The author spent some time in the Northern Solomons, on “the untouched island of Choiseul,” where he found what he regards as traces of an unknown civilisation, which he suggests might be a bridge to the unexplained cul ture of Easter Island.

Mr. and Mrs. R. Walshe, of Kauru plan tation, Domara, Eastern Papua, arrived in Australia by the Macdhui in January.
