""On The Inhabitants Of The Admiralty Islands, Etc."" is a book written by Henry Nottidge Moseley in 1877. The book is a detailed account of Moseley's observations and experiences during his travels to the Admiralty Islands, located in the western Pacific Ocean. Moseley was a British naturalist and biologist who was part of the Challenger Expedition, a scientific voyage that explored the world's oceans from 1872 to 1876.In this book, Moseley provides a comprehensive description of the geography, flora, fauna, and people of the Admiralty Islands. He documents the customs, traditions, and daily life of the islanders, including their language, religion, and social organization. Moseley's observations on the physical characteristics of the islanders, such as their height, skin color, and facial features, are of particular interest.The book also contains detailed illustrations and photographs of the islanders, their homes, and their artifacts. Moseley's scientific background is evident in his analysis of the island's natural resources, including its marine life, plants, and minerals.""On The Inhabitants Of The Admiralty Islands, Etc."" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and natural environment of the Pacific Islands. Moseley's meticulous observations and detailed descriptions provide a fascinating glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to the Western world at the time of his visit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Challenger Expedition of 1872-6 was conceived to examine the deep sea floor worldwide and disprove the theory of a 'dead zone' in the oceans below a certain depth. Using a modified Royal Navy ship, the expedition sailed nearly 70,000 nautical miles across the globe, collecting oceanographic data and marine specimens, and laying the foundations for the science of oceanography by later publishing fifty volumes of reports. The naturalist Henry Moseley (1844-91) recounts the voyage in this 1879 work, covering visits to many remote islands and the taking of samples at hundreds of locations. The voyage's achievements included the collection of over 4,000 new marine species and the discovery of the world's deepest ocean trench (Challenger Deep). Moseley's observations on native peoples also proved important as traditional cultures were changing rapidly at the time. Illustrated with numerous woodcuts, this narrative illuminates an adventure of great scientific significance.
