Another industrial art exercised by the Kelænonesians, and (according to most writers), not exercised by the _unmixed_ Amphinesians, is the art of pottery. How far, however, it is general on the one side, or non-existent on the other, remains for further investigations to prove. The qualification denoted by the word _unmixed_, will be explained when we come to the ethnology of the Fiji Islands. NEW BRITAIN. NEW IRELAND. NEW HANOVER. SANDWICH ISLE. ADMIRALTY ISLANDS. HERMIT ISLANDS. These islands have been mentioned in detail for the sake of indicating the probable line of population--first towards the east, and next (backwards) to the north-west. Where any of the natives of these islands differ from one another, or from the New Guinea people, it is in having stronger limbs, lighter-coloured skins, hair more or less woolly, and faces more or less angular. All the differences, however, lie within a small compass. All the tribes, too, seem to agree in chewing the betel-nut, going naked (or nearly naked), and painting their bodies. BOUKA. BOUGAINVILLE ISLAND. _Natives._--Heads large, faces flat, chin prominent, mouth large, lips thin.
