Abstract
NO one has done more valuable work in elucidating the ethnography of the aborigines of Australia than Sir Baldwin Spencer, and therefore a new book by him deserves careful consideration. “Wanderings in Wild Australia” is possibly the final record of travels and field-work begun thirty-four years ago and continued at intervals until within a few years. The area of the wanderings is, roughly, between 132° and 136° E. long., and from Lake Eyre in the south to Bathurst Island and the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north. Wanderings in Wild Australia. By Sir Baldwin Spencer. Vol. 1. Pp. xxviii + 455 + 210 plates. Vol. 2. Pp. xiv + 457-930 + 194 plates. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1928.) 42s. net.
