Sex affiliation and its implications in Koiari

Government Anthropologist, Papua. 1 In MAN, 1923, 119, I published some notes on Rock Paintings from New Guinea. In the following, I have described further examples which were discovered during the month of September, 1922. These were found in the Sogeri district inland from Port Moresby and near the village of Nahatana, some twenty miles further inland than the previous finds. Three distinct stations were visited, and almost obliterated signs of paintings were seen in one other place. All the stations occurred in country consisting of dark-coloured basaltic conglomerate, with white rocks of an andesitic type interbedded at places.
