    • Abstract:
      The article talks about the seventh Archbold Expedition, a biological exploration to the Huon Peninsula in New Guinea led by mammalogist Hobart M. Van Deusen in 1964. It offers a brief background on the physical features, plant life, animal life, discovery, colonial history, and some of the previous expeditions of New Guinea. The expedition focused on areas in the peninsula such as Mt. Rawlinson, the home of cassowaries and tree-climbing kangaroos, the Cromwell Mountains, which is populated with giant rats, and the limestone caves of the Finschhafen coast.
