Notes of travel in Fiji and New Caledonia : with some remarks on South Sea islanders and their languages / by J.W. Anderson. (London : Ellissen & Co., 1880)

This is a useful account of the Pacific islands in general as well as giving much specific information on Fiji and New Caledonia. It is especially good on the languages of the different areas, and Anderson uses lists of word comparisons in an attempt to trace the migration of the different Melanesian and Polynesian races.
