PROFESSOR HADDON, F.R.S.— " OUR PAPUAN 

 FELLOW-SUBJECTS AT WORK AND PLAY." 



Mr. F. J. Bigger, M.R.I.A., occupied the chair. Professor 

 Haddon delivered a very interesting lecture on '' Our 

 Papuan Fellow-subjects at Work and Play," which was a 

 descriptive account from personal observation of a stage of 

 culture such as no doubt prevailed in Ireland before the 

 introduction of Christianity. The lecturer dealt with the work 

 of men and women and the games of children, as well as the 

 physical features of the country, the towns and villages, 

 including Port Moresby, the capital of British New Guinea.
