Abstract

"The Seventh Archbold Expedition worked on the Huon Peninsula of Papua New Guinea from April 12 to October 22, 1964. Members of the expedition occupied several camps ranging in elevation from sea level near Finschhafen to 3500 meters on the Saruwaged Plateau. The principle objective of the expedition was to collect mammals and plants, but other kinds of material were also gathered, most notably in the areas of herpetology and entomology. The present report provides an itinerary of the expedition, together with maps and a gazetteer"--P. [1].
