Mr. John W. Layard, an English scientist, who spent some time in the New Hebrides 20 years ago, and who, since, has been engaged on anthropological re search work, has completed the first book of his projected series of volumes, entitled “Stone Men of Malekula.” The books will give a detailed account of the social organisation, religion, language, music, and sea-faring activities of the natives of the small islands off the north coast of Malekula, in the centre of the New Heb rides group. The first volume which will be published in England shortly, will deal with the islanders of Vao.
