The book was prepared from material that was originally collected and compiled by Mr. Allan Dawes about ten years ago, and which has been lying in Canberra ever since. It contains' a great mass of useful information about the Mandated Territory, but it is not well edited. The arrange ment of the material is poor and there is no index, go that it is difficult to find the infor mation that one may be looking for. There is a pocket in the back cover which carries statistics relating to New Guinea for the period ended June 30. 1936.
