Man With Six Toes

THE Assistant Resident Magistrate at Kokoda, Papua, sends the accom panying photograph, with this note; Here is a human oddity who may in terest you. He possesses six perfectly-for med toes on each foot. He is a native of Karu Karu, Chirima Valley, which is part of the district under my control. I under-

stand that several others in the same family are similarly “endowed”. I tried to find out from the native whether he was able to move the additional digit, but he became embarrassed at the in terest being taken in his feet by myself and a party of grinning police, and slunk off. As a matter of fact, I might have had difficulty in procuring these pictures had he known that the camera was focussed on him alone, hence the others in the group.

Mr. H. Willoughby, Senior Road Fore man, of the Fiji Public Works Depart ment, is now spending furlough in Aus tralia.
