This series contains material from the south east coast of and offshore from Guadalcanal Island, concentrating on the Marau language. It includes reprints of two articles by W.G. Ivens, one on the grammar of the Marau language, and the other being an extended comparative vocabulary list (Marau-English).

Guadalcanal, a 2,510 square mile (6,500 km²) island in the Pacific Ocean and a province of the Solomon Islands, is largely a jungle. The island became the scene of the important Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II. The island contains the national capital of the Solomon Islands, Honiara.
