ADMIRALTY ISLANDS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 205 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADMIRALTY ISLANDS , a
group
  of about
forty
  islands lying
north
  of New
Guinea
 , between 1 and 3 S., and 146 and 148 E., within the Bismarck Archipelago, belonging to
Germany
 . The largest, Manus, is about 6o m. in length, and its highest point is about 3000 ft. above the sea; the others are very small, and rise little above sea-level. Most are of
coral
  formation, but the hills of Manus are believed to be
extinct
  volcanoes. The islands were discovered by the Dutch in 1616, and visited in 1767 by Philip
Carteret
 ; but no landing seems to have been effected, owing to the surrounding reefs, until the arrival of the " Challenger " in 1875. The natives are of the Papuan type, but show signs of mixed origin. They are cannibals, and many murders of whites have taken
place
 .
