a _Annual Report_ for June 30, 1906, pp. 85 to 93. [12] _Melanesians of British New Guinea_, p. 33. [13] Apparently bows and arrows are not found among the tribes of the Lower Mambare river (_Annual Report_ for June, 1897, Appendix C, p. 7.) [14] _Annual Report_ for June, 1894, p. 32. [15] _Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute_ for December, 1909, p. 329. [16] _Annual Report_ for June, 1897, Appendix C, p. 7. [17] _Geographical Journal_ for October, 1900, p. 422. [18] _Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute_ for December, 1909, p. 330. [19] _British New Guinea_, p. 94. [20] _Melanesians of British New Guinea_, p. 32. [21] _Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute_ for December, 1909, p. 329. [22] Seligmann and Strong--_Geographical Journal_ for March, 1906, p. 232. [23] Seligmann's _Melanesians of British New Guinea_, p. 27. [24] Dr. Strong has referred (_Geographical Journal_ for September, 1908, p. 272) to the considerable areas of open grass country at the source of the St. Joseph river; and in his remarks which appeared in the _Annual Report_ for June, 1906, p. 28, he referred to the same matter, and spoke of the valleys being for the most part less steep than those of the Kuni district. [25] I must state that Plate 2 represents a scene taken from a spot near to Deva-deva, which, though close to what is regarded as the boundary between the Kuni and Mafulu areas, is in fact just within the former. The general appearance of the scenery is, however, distinctly Mafulu. [26] Dr. Strong's measurements of seven Mafulu men referred to by Dr. Seligmann (_Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute_, Vol. 39, p. 329) showed an average stature of 59 1/2 inches, and an average cephalic index of 80.0. It will be noticed that my figures show a somewhat higher average stature, but that my average cephalic index is the same. Dr. Seligmann here speaks of the Mafulu as being almost as short as the men of Inavaurene, and even more round-headed. [27] This is the index calculated on average lengths and breadths. The average of the indices is 83.8, the difference arising from the omission in working out of each index of second points of decimals. [28] Dr. Keith thinks they are all skulls of males. They are now in College Museum, and are numbered 1186.32, 1186.33 and 1186.34 in the College Catalogue. [29] _Melanesians of British New Guinea_, p.16. [30] Dr. Haddon refers (
