Abstract
JOHN HENRY HOLMES, who died on April 19, was born on June 19, 1866. Having been ordained in 1893, he was appointed by the London Missionary Society at first to the Fly River District, Papua, and a year later to the Elema District (Gulf of Papua); he settled at Jokea in November 1894. In 1897 he removed to Orokolo, and in 1910 he finally settled at Uriki in the Purari Delta. He left Papua at the end of 1917 and, having retired from active service, returned to England in 1920. Thus for more than twenty years “Homu” laboured among two of the most interesting of the peoples of the ‘Papuan’ stock, about whom previously there was but scanty and often erroneous information.
