Papuans of the Trans-Fly
London, Oxford University Press, 1936.
Octavo, xxxvi, 452 pages with numerous illustrations plus 20 pages of plates, but lacking the folding sketch-map of Trans-Fly Papua (as issued, in this instance).
The remainder issue, in later maroon buckram and without the map; a handful of pages are marked (while the unbound sheets were in storage); a very good copy with the very good dustwrapper a little worn along the front leading edge.
Francis Edgar Williams (1893-1943) was Government Anthropologist, Territory of Papua, from 1928 until his death in a plane crash in May 1943 in the Owen Stanley Range ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').
