8th AUGUST, 1944 FOREWORD 
In planning military action to recover the vast areas 
north of Australia which had fallen to the enemy assault in 
the initial phase of the Pacific war, it early became 
apparent that outside of such areas themselves there existed 
no central fount of geographical information essential to 
such purpose 
The Allied Geographical Section, Southwest Pacific 
Area, was thereupon created as an inter-allied organisation 
charged with research for source material reasonably 
available and necessary adequately to fill this void 
This bibliography is a condensation of the results of 
the exhaustive investigation of this organisation into the 
resources of seventy libraries and scientific and cultural 
societies in Australia 
Its compilation has been made possible only through a 
combination of thorough and painstaking research on the part 
of the Allied Geographical Section and the enthusiastic 
support of leading librarians enlisted in furtherance 
thereof. In its finished form it truly becomes a literary 
monument to inter-allied effort and cooperation — a monument 
that will serve the purposes of peace no less than it has 
those of war. 
I take this opportunity to express my grateful acknow- 
ledgment to Lieutenant Colonel W. V. Jardine-Blake of the 
Australian Army and his staff of co-workers in the Allied 
Geographical Section for outstanding service, and my deep 
appreciation to all civilian agencies and voluntary col- 
laborators without whose generous support this important 
work could "“not have been accomplished.

8 August 1944 INTRODUCTION 
'TTHIS work provides a selection of geographical literature 
available in Australia considered to be of use for military 
purposes. 
The Bibliography will be published in four volumes: 
Volume 1—The Netherlands and British East Indies and 
the Philippine Islands. 
Volume 2—The Mandated Territory of New Guinea, 
Papua, the British Solomon Islands, the New 
Hebrides and Micronesia. 
Volume 3—Malaya, Thailand, Indo China, the China 
coast and the Japanese Empire. 
Volume 4—Supplement. 
The method of arrangement is considered most suitable 
for the purpose it is designed to serve. The literature is sub- 
divided into geographical areas. Within each of these the 
material is listed alphabetically by authors, followed by the 
title and a brief indication of the contents. Where photographs, 
maps and charts occur, these have been listed separately. This 
is followed by the names of the Libraries in which the 
publication is to be found. 
The material has been collected and annotated for the 
greater part by the staffs of the various co-operating Libraries. 
Since the present publication was originally intended for 
use within the Allied Geographical Section only, complete 
bibliographical uniformity has not been attempted. So far as 
possible, however, the following rules have been observed: 
Where the individual author is unknown, entries are listed 
most frequently under the name of the corporate author, but 
occasionally they have been entered under the name of the 
periodical or the title of the publication. 
Double surnames are entered under the latter part of 
the surname. 
Several items by the same author are listed chronologically 
by date of publication. 
The scope of the Bibliography has certain limitations, but 
is considered sufficiently wide to fulfil the requirements of 
Allied Services desiring information on the various areas. General Headquarters, 
Southwest Pacific Area, 
8th August, 1944. 
This publication consists of a Bibliography of books 
and writings on the Southwest Pacific and adjacent areas, 
which may be readily referred to in Australia. 
The Bibliography has been prepared for the use of 
the armed services, and the annotations have been 
restricted to subjects of military interest. 
A map has been included showing the area covered 
by this volume.

The tectonic evolution of New Guinea and Melanesia. 
(Sydney University thesis for the degree of D.Sc., 
1939), pp 100 typescript. 
Contents'. This is the result of 3i years’ field work 
in Papua and New Guinea as geologist on the staff 
of Oil Search Ltd. The work was begun in 1934 in 
north New Guinea. Areas studied are Port Moresby, 
Rabaul volcanoes, Sepik Valley, Prince Alexander 
Mts., Torricelli Mts., Wapi and Pelei districts, 
Kikori and north to Sirebi River, Purari to Lake- 
kamu River, Vailala and Tauri Rivers, Gulf coast, 
Popo to Yule Is. Pt. 1.—Descriptive and deductive; 
deals solely with New Guinea, its morphology, terti- 
ary stratigraphy and structural patterns. Part 11— 
The nature, origin and evolution of the island fringe 
of Australia. Relation of East Indies to Australia 
on the one hand, and to Asia on the other. This 
part is mainly inductive and philosophic, and less 
valuable from a military or occupational point of 
view. The thesis naturally deals essentially with 
geological outcrops and stratigraphical relations, but 
a detailed report is made in this connection of surface 
characters, forests, deltas, coast conditions, beaches, 
headlands, mountains, plains, valleys and other 
physical features, including the development of coral 
barriers and the navigability of rivers. 
Photographs'. About 40 photographs, of which seven 
are of native industries, 10 of scientific equipment 
and procedure, and 23 are geological and physio- 
graphic.

year, and in October and November often pours 
down day and night. Anyone remaining more than 
three weeks is certain to contract malaria, owing to 
swarms of anopheles. Much information is given on 
conditions generally and regarding health.

The tectonic evolution of New Guinea and Melanesia. 
(Sydney University thesis for the degree of D.Sc., 
1939), pp 100 typescript. 
Contents: This is the result of three and a half 
years’ field work in Papua and New Guinea as geo- 
logist on the staff of Oil Search Ltd. The work 
was begun in 1934, in north New Guinea. Areas 
studied are Port Moresby, Rabaul volcanoes, Sepik 
valley, Prince Alexander Mts., Torricelli Mts., Wapi 
and Pelei districts, Kikori and north to Sirebi River, 
Purari to Lakekama River, Vailala and Tauri Rivers; 
Gulf coast, Popo to Yule Island. Part 1 is des- 
criptive and deductive; deals solely with New 
Guinea, its morphology, tertiary stratigraphy and 
structural patterns; Part n deals with the nature, 
origin and evolution of the island fringe of Aus- 
tralia. Relation of East Indies to Australia on the 
one hand,, and to Asia on the other. This part is 
mainly inductive and philosophic, and less valuable 
from a military or occupational point of view. The 
thesis naturally deals essentially with geological out- 
crops and stratigraphical relations, but a detailed 
report is made in this connection of surface charac- 
ters, forests, deltas, coast conditions, beaches, head- 
lands, mountains, plains, valleys and other physical 
features, including the development of coral barriers 
and the navigability of rivers.

Contents:• Dr. Brown began mission work at Port 
Hunter, Duke of York Island, in 1875, and in the 
same year stations were established at Kalili in New 
Ireland, and at Matupi in New Britain. He left 
New Britain at the end of 1880. In 1890 he went to 
Papua in connection with the establishment of the 
Methodist Mission there, and in 1891 returned with 
the first mission party to Samarai and the d’Entre- 
casteaux Group. In 1897 he again visited the mission 
stations there, and also German New Guinea. In 
1902 he established the Solomon Island Mission, and 
visited Lord Howe (Ontong Java) and the Tasman 
(Nukumanu) Group. This is an important account 
of conditions in all these areas, and includes much 
matter of historical interest, including the story of 
the Marquis de Ray’s attempted colony at Port 
Breton, and the volcanic eruption at Blanche Bay 
early in 1878. Native manners and customs, cannibal- 
ism, labour recruiting, tribal wars, etc.

The tectonic evolution of New Guinea and Melanesia. 
(Sydney University thesis for the degree of D.Sc., 
1939), pp 100 (typescript). 
Contents'. This is the result of 3i years’ field work 
in Papua and New Guinea as geologist on the staff 
of Oil Search Ltd. The work was begun in 1934, in 
north New Guinea. Areas studied are Port Moresby, 
Rabaul volcanoes, Sepik Valley, Prince Alexander 
Mts.; Torricelli Mts., Wapi and Pelei districts, 
Kikori and north to Sirebi River, Purari to Lake- 
kamu River, Vailala and Tauri Rivers, Gulf coast, 
Popo to Yule Island. Part i: Descriptive and deduc- 
tive; deals solely with New Guinea, its morphology, 
tertiary stratigraphy and structural patterns. Part 2; 
The nature, origin and evolution of the island fringe 
of Australia. Relation of East Indies to Australia 
on the one hand, and to Asia on the other. This 
part is mainly inductive and philosophic, and less 
valuable from a military or occupational point of 
view. The thesis naturally deals essentially with 
geological outcrops and stratigraphical relations, but 
a detailed report is made in this connection of sur- 
face characters, forests, deltas, coast conditions, 
beaches, headlands, mountains, plains, valleys and 
other physical features, including the development of 
coral barriers and the navigability of rivers.
