Miss Evelyn Cheesman

Miss Evelyn Chessman, The

famous 74-years-old British entomologist (September PIM, page 21), said at Sydney in late September that her recent New Hebrides assignment was her last visit to the Pacific Islands.

Nevertheless she has made no plans to retire.

“We drop down, or get run over,, but we never retire,” she told an interviewer.

Miss Cheesman has now returned to London. In the last 26 years she has worked in places as far removed as French Oceania and New Guinea.
