About This Item

London: Seeley, Service and Company, 1929. The back board is mildly damp affected.. Octavo, frontispiece, fifteen ethnographic photo-plates, folding map, publisher's gilt cloth; bold bookseller's stamp on front endpaper, a handsome and attractive copy nonetheless.

A somewhat racy account of native life in the Solomons, more anecdotal than anthropological, with much interesting observation.
