This early report was written at the time of great interest in New Guinea as the southern part was annexed by Britain in 1884. A Major Early New Guinea missionary work on the south east region of the island. With detailed accounts of indigenous peoples culture, topography, including records of cannibalism, customs, weapons, ornaments, etc. Chalmer's joined the mission in 1877 and in his time penetrated further inland than any other European. His first post was to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands in 1866, where "the community had been under the influence of Christian missions for decades. For years he had 'longed to get amongst real heathen and savages' and so rejoiced when he was assigned to work in New Guinea. He arrived in Port Moresby in October 1877." Chalmers travelled extensively, in some areas he travelled further inland than any other white men in his time. His main missionary activities were centred on the South-Eastern end of the country at South Cape, where he helped to build up a mission station among the Suau people." After a furlough in 1886/87 Chalmers returned to New Guinea to continue his missionary work but was killed near Goaribari Island in 1901.

18848vo. 14 pages, plus a remarkable folding colour map. This is a complete issue of the Royal Geographical Society, published February 1884, in excellent condition, containing the above narrative, and historically valuable map. Item is in original condition, with blue wrappers, as issued, complete with all the ads. The color map map highlights the Great Tasman Glacier of Mount Cook, and its tributaries, also shows glaciers and summits which were named for Hooker, Freshfield, Haast, Darwin, Whymper, Francis Joseph, Malte Brun and Hochstetter. A recollection of mountaineering adventure and splendour, Green describes the perils and milestones of the first ever European ascent to reach the summit of Zew Zealand's highest peak - Aoraki (Mount Cook)! Three different approaches were taken, first by the ridge on the south side, unsuccessful though lending to spectacular photographic views, the second attempt being a delightful challenge, 17 hours of arduous climbing along the northern arête later named the Hochsetter Ridge. Finally, via the Ball, Freshfield, and Linda glaciers, the climbers reached their highest point of the peak on third attempt, and, being depleted of provisions, began the return to base camp to record their observations. William Spotswood Green (1847-1919) was an Irish reverend, climber and naturalist, specializing in marine biology. He was a member of the English Alpine Club and became a mountain climber, especially known in Canada and New Zealand. Together with Swiss hotelier Emil Boss and the Swiss mountain guide Ulrich Kaufmann, on 2 March 1882, William S. Green made the first recorded European attempt to reach the summit of Aoraki (Mount Cook) which is the highest mountain in New Zealand, reaching 3,754 metres. Ascending via the Tasman and Linda Glaciers, they arrived within 50 metres of the true summit before being forced back by inclement conditions. In the late 1880s he partook in a survey expedition in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. In 1883, the author published a full account titled, "The High alps of New Zealand, or a Trip to the Glaciers of the Antipodes with an Ascent of Mount Cook." (London, Macmillan and Co.)

An account of the author's extensive explorations in the part of the North Island known as the King Country and Lake Country, traversing 600 miles through Maoriland and six hundred miles around King County just after the area was opened for railway survey and construction. The author's explorations resulted in the discovery of twenty-five rivers not previously shown on the maps and two small lakes; he examined the hydrography of lake Taupo, traced the sources of four of the principal rivers of the colony - the Whanganui, Waikato, Whangaehu, and Manganui-a-te-Ao - ascended Tongariro (7300 feet) and examined its active crater, ascended Mount Ruapehu (9000 feet), the highest peak of the North Island; ascended the Kaimanawa Mountains to an altitude of 4000 feet, examined the flora and collected some specimens of Alpine plants. This is a highly illuminating account with valuable description of the region of Lake Taupo, the Rangipo tableland, the Kaimanawa mountains, ascent of Tongariro and Ruaoehu, the Manganui a-te-Ao, hot springs of Tongariro, source of the Whanganui, and valley of the Waipa.
