Excerpt from The Northern D'entrecasteaux
Mr. Jenness left New Guinea In December 1912, and was soon engaged in Arctic exploration, which in turn was followed by military service in France. _but this belongs to another story'; which is relevant, however, in so far as it helps to explain why the publication Of this first instalment of the material obtained by Mr. Jenness has been so long delayed. Of the rest of his collections I need only say that the Spoil, or most of it, destined for the pitt-rivers Museum duly arrived, after suffering shipwreck on the way; and that it is hoped to publish subsequently other matter, including a number of folk-lore texts and native songs with translations, to which is added a Bwaidoga grammar and vocabulary.
