Abstract:
Journal kept by Van Deusen during his time on the 6th Archbold Expedition to New Guinea. The time period covers both the collecting period as well as the journey to and from the location. Entries largely contain detailed information about collecting and preparation activities of himself and his assistants as well as expedition leader Leonard Brass. Other entries recount social engagements, describe the environment, weather, camps and the expedition party's travels. Expedition locations noted include Lae, Goroka, Gurakor, Kaindi, Oomsis, Bulolo, Wau, Purosa, Arau, Water Rice, the Umi River and the Wilhelm, Otto, and Michael mountains. Additional travel sites mentioned include Brisbane, Sydney, Cairns, Melbourne, Canberra, and Honolulu. Note that entries are not completely in chronological order in volume and some entries are included on laid-in material.
