ABSTRACT

The Mailu inhabit the seaboard from Cape Rodney in the west to the middle of Orangerie Bay in the east. Near Cape Rodney there is a belt of flat alluvial soil, extending far inland, and eastwards as far as Cloudy Bay. Near the latter the hills, which in this part of the continent run in a series of longitudinal parallel ranges, rising one beyond the other and culminating in the Main Range, approach the sea, though they do not rise to any great vertical height.
