A bright and smart copy of this account of Sydney John Hickson's (1859-1940) time journeying through the Celebes Sea and northern Celebes (Sulawesi). Hickson was a groundbreaking British zoologist who specialised in corals, and contributed to our understanding of evolution, embryology, genetics, and systematics. He journeyed through Minhassa, Sangir, Manado, and Pulau Talise.
