Abstract
VANUA LEVU, one of the two principal islands in the Fiji archipelago, according to Mr. Guppy's summary of previous investigations, has received less notice than Viti Levu, or even some of the smaller islands. The late Prof. Dana made a small collection of. its rocks in 1840, and published some observations on. its geology. It was visited in 1878 by Mr. J. Home, of Mauritius, but no collections were made by him, by the Challenger, or by investigators under the direction of Prof. A. Agassiz, so that it offered a very promising field of research, which occupied Mr. Guppy for two years. The results, so far as concerns its geological and general physical features, and the petrology of its rocks, are described in the present volume, with reproduced photographs and other illustrations.
