1~EW mountains in New Guinea reach 1i,ooo feet above sea level. Mount Carstensz, in the Nassau Range, Netherlands New Guinea, is one; -Mount Wilhelm, in the Bismarck Range, Australian New Guinea (Territory of Papua and New Guinea), is another (Fig. 3). The Carstensz massif, 4'o4' S., 137?1o' E., is famous for its glaciers and snow-covered summit; Mount Wilhelm,' 5044' S., 145o0S' E., is normally free from ice and snow. Dozy2 has described the landforms on Mount Carstensz; Rickwood and Pullen have referred to the glaciation of Mount Wilhelm in articles dealing with the geology and exploration of the Bismarck Range.' The present account is based on a visit to the summit area of Mount Wilhelm during a survey carried out in the Highlands of Australian New Guinea by the Division of Land Research and Regional Survey of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization. Air photographs covering the Mount Wilhelm area have been used in the interpretation of landforms and in the preparation of the maps
