Ng Highlands And Islands
AT the usual monthly meeting of Pacific Islands Society, in Syd ney, on April 26, members and their friends were entertained by two unusual series of coloured photographic slides presented by Dr. P. R. McMahon and Dr. W.
Smythe.
Dr. McMahon is a Professor of Wool Technology and took his photographs while he was investi gating the infant wool industry in New Guinea. Dr. Smythe was Medical Officer in Samarai, Papua, and his duties took him to many of the islands off that part of the Papuan coast. These islands in the Trobriand, D’entrecastreaux and Louisiade groups are little known to most of the oldest residents of the Territory, yet they are some of the most beautiful islands in the Pacific.
