The reported discovery by an American expedition of an extraordinary primitive race of pigmies in unexplored territory in New Guinea recalls the fact (reports a special correspondent of the Otago Daily Times) that one of the first Europeans to penetrate the interior of that mysterious country and report the existence of pigmy races to the outside world was a resident of Auckland, Captain T. C. Kerry, F.R.G.S., who recently returned to Auckland from a trip abroad. He has been an explorer and navigator for many years of an eventful life, and was the first white man to discover the pigmies of New Guinea. That, was in the seven-, ties of the last century. The revelations of the recent American expedition therefore cannot be accepted as entirely new, as much of the material gathered was collected 45 years ago by Captaiu Kerry during the 22 distinct expedition's he made into the mountain fastnesses of New Guinea.
