    Includes important material read by Markham at the evening meeting of the Society, February 25th, 1884. Of interest is the attendance and contribution to discussion of Admiral Moresby who appears rather miffed that Markham set the record straight regarding the discovery of Port Moresby.

    The whole enhaced by appendices. First, a chronological account of the events and individuals most associated with the early discoveries of New Guinea. Second, and quite special in its depth, a 40 page bibliography of New Guinea prepared by E. C.
