H., Jan, 19.—The flora of the Marquesa islands reveal con- clusivé pronf that the Polynesian race came out of southeastern Asia to their present habitations in the islands of the Pacific ,in the opinion of Forrest Brown, Bishop museum botanist who has just returned from 17 months of investigation in the Marquesas {n connection with the museum’s effort to establish the origin of the Poly- nesians. Prof. Brown expressed the belief that a few food plants now found in the Marquesas had been obtained from the American continent during some pre-European period when that branch of the Pelynesians which set- tled in the Marquesas journeyed back and forth between their island homes and America. Visited America, The presence in the Marquesas of the sweet potato and the papaia led Prof. Brown to the theory that the Marquesans visited America, as these plants probably had been obtained in semi-tropical central America, he said. The food plants most common to the Marquesas came,’ however, from southeastern Asia, prol@hly by way of Malay, Java and India. These are the taro and the breadfruit. He said that the original Polynes- ians probably had inhabited the coasts of southern Asia and had been forced to seek new homes in the Pacifie by the pressuré of tribes and clans from the interior, which drove them liter- ally into the ocean. They toek their food plants with them when they mi- grated, he said. Natives Civil, Prof. Brown said that the natives of the Marquesas, who are governed by the French ,are very civil and ex. hibit the same generosity and hospi- tality that prevails among other Poly- nesjans. - He is not ready to express an opin- ion as to the route ot routes taken by the Polynesians during their migra- tions which finglly landed them in Hawaii. The solution of this preb- lem will require additional data and turther study of the specimens which he brought back. Strictly fresh eggs 61c.
