Dr. Th. Mortensen's expeditions 1899-1930

[Geoff Read]

"the [Samoan] natives ... regarded the scientific members of the 
expedition as hopeless, but harmless imbeciles engaged in fruitless and 
foolish tasks" -- A G Mayor

So what's new? (Just thought I'd share that with you.  :-))

Hello folks,

I have in front of me a copy of a typescript:

"Dr. Th. Mortensen's expeditions 1899-1930: list of stations."

It is in English, 34 pages (one side), and at the back are four outline
handwritten maps. No author's name, no date. I am guessing the original  
might date from the 50's or 60's.

Has anyone come across this before? I'd like to know more about the 
provenance (and authority) of this item.

And is there a better list (separately published) of Mortensen's 
localities outside of the papers by specialists? I confess I have not 
looked beyond Augener's 2 NZ papers (Pacific expedition) as yet. (Perhaps 
there is a table in one of the others in Videnska ... But which?)

Thanks for any ideas.

Geoff
