193525 pages. Plus photographic plates and a fold-out colour map. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. A fascinating travel expedition account of the tropical Pacific islands designated the 'New Hebrides.' The Oxford University Scientific Expedition's two-fold remit was to ascend and survey the region's highest mountain and to study the breeding seasons of a selection of the area's indigenous animals. Having designated Santo Peak as the region's highest mountain, the party performed various reconaissance surveys, took barometer and odometer readings, made a collection of insects despite the heavy rain as well as a good collection of plants, featured among them several orchid species - and provided a description of its summit. Having selected five animals (the parrot, lizard, fruit-bat, insectivorous bat and the passerine bird) for a detailed study of breeding seasons, various observations were recorded. Features detail of the local Sakau people and appendices relating to exploration of the Tawoli river, the birds of Espiritu Santo, survey equipment employed and regional geology.
