Abstract

Evan Richard Stanley was the first Government Geologist for Papua, from 1911 to 1924. Under difficult conditions, he conducted geological investigations that resulted in more than 50 papers and reports and the first comprehensive accounts (in 1923 and 1924) of the geology and resources of both the New Guinea and Papua territories. He died unexpectedly in 1924.
