The most important work on Dutch New Guinea is a recently 

 published memoir by F. S. A. de Clercq and J. D. E. Schmeltz 

 entitled Ethnographische Beschrijving van de J Vest-en Noordkust van 

 Nederlandsch Nieuw-Guinea, Leiden, P. W. M. Trap, 1893. As this

 anthropology and ethnology refers more particularly to the northern 

 part of that island, since explorers like Wallace, Beccari, D'Albertis 

 and Hartog, and vessels such as the Challenger and the Marchesa,

 Roland Buonaparte has several times epitomised the discoveries of 

 Dutch travellers {Bull. Soc. Gcogr. Paris, 1884, p. 530; Soc.de
