LANE, OF MYSTERY AND
HORROR
"Patrolling in Pappa" (T. Fisher Unwin, 21a) is an admimble account by Mr. W. R. Humphries, an assistant-resident magistrate, of bis adventurous journeys in the company, of ex-cannibals through the swamps, and almost inacces- sible mountains of that extremely inhospitable island, which is now probably the least known territory on the face of the earth.

Murray, contributes an Introduction in which he remarks: Most of Mr. Humphries's carriers were convicted murderers, and, as he says, people not familiar with the territory might have been afraid to trust them; but no one has this feeling in Papua,, for the ordinary Papuan murder is not a crime as we consider it; it is sometimes a duty, sometimes a necessary part of social etiquette, sometimes are laxation, and always a passion
