"Shrangri-La "

Letter to the Editor 1 NOTICE an article under the above heading in your July issue.

I was somewhat surprised to note that your journal subscribed to the “myste rious” nature of this valley and its un suspected existence. The National Geo graphic Magazine in March, 1941, con tains an article by Mr. Richard Archbold on “Unknown New Guinea.” This gentle man apparently explored the district in 1938*, and produces photographs very similar to those in your recent issue. The valley is described by him as the “Grand Valley.” There would seem little doubt ’as to the identity of the two districts.

I am, etc.,

H. G. Carter.

Sydney, 24/7/45.
