From Our Own Correspondent

Honiara, Nov. 20.

PROFESSOR C. E. Marshall, Edgeworth David Professor of Geology at the Sydney University, who is making arrangements to bring a team of geologists to the British Solomon Islands next year arrived in Honiara by Qantas plane on November 13.

He plans to spend about a month in the British Solomons, making a prelim inary study of likely areas in the Protec torate with the Government Geologist

(Mr. J. C. Grover). Professor Marshall will then return to Sydney and will do some introductory research with the team of scientists who are to accompany him to BSI next year, so that, on their arrival, they can get down to work with the least possible delay.

Mr. Charles Wade of Madang, NG, was in Sydney on sick leave in January.

Mr. Douglas Brown of the Department of Agriculture, Fiji, with his wife and small daughter, was holidaying in Armi dale, NSW, in January.
