Blackwood, R.N. in Torres Strait, New Guinea, and other islands of the Eastern Archipelago, during the years 1842-1846: together with an excursion into the interior of the eastern part of Java". xii, [2], 423; v, [3], advertisement slip, 362 pages, 2 folding maps and 19 plates (4 lithographs, 14 uncolored aquatints, and one wood-engraving) plus a number of woodengraved illustrations in the text. Except the library flaws in very good condition. Narrative of a very important voyage by the naturalist to the expedition, undertaken for the purpose of surveying the lesser-known parts of the coast of northeastern Australia and the islands of Torres Straits and the Great Barrier Reef. New Guinea was also visited and the Fly River discovered. Also included are accounts of Timor and its aborigines, Dutch Java, Sandalwood Island, Singapore, and Malacca. Jukes was the naturalist on the expedition and his chapter on the natural history of the Barrier Reef is of great importance, his observations strongly supporting Darwin's theory of the formation of coral reefs. |
