Henze IV, 94 f. - ‘His magnum opus is undoubtedly *Studies and Observations from the South Seas*, which, despite certain reservations at the time of its publication, was recognised as the foremost work amongst all publications on the Bismarck Archipelago, for it was nothing less than the first comprehensive ethnography of that Melanesian archipelago, which had previously been so neglected by researchers.’
