Documents this collection of Captain A. W. F. Fuller (1882-1961), who never had a chance to visit the islands "that played such an important part in his life. ... Although the Fuller Collection is pan-Pacific in scope, its three main segments are derived from Polynesia, Melanesia, and Australia. The areas most amply represented -- and consequented, those treated most extensively in this volume -- are New Zealand and the Solomon Islands." (dj) Uses a geographical format to present the details of the artifacts. Uncommon.
