Seismic field operations are always difficult to conduct but problems multiply greatly when operating in heavy jungle swamp environments. Esso Papua New Guinea recently concluded an onshore seismic program in the Fly River delta of Papua New Guinea. This paper discusses methods employed to operate in this extremely hostile environment to obtain reasonable quality seismic data at an acceptable price. A novel shooting technique which had a profound affect on quality of data, speed of recording and overall cost, is discussed.

A New Species

Curupirina papuana sp. n. and an unnamed species of a probably new genus of Apistomyiini (Diptera : Blephariceridae) are described from the Ok Tedi, a tributary of the Fly River, Papua New Guinea. This is the first report of the family from the island; its zoogeographical significance is discussed with reference to the long-presumed role of the island in the evolution and dispersal of the tribe Apistomyiini.

A survey was carried out of the mercury content of 19 fish species from 18 locations In the coastal and fresh waters of Papua New Guinea. Most commercial catches had total mercury contents well below the 0.5 �g/g limit recommended by the World Health Organization, the only exception being barramundi (Lates calcarifer) caught in the Fly River system. The presence of mercury in this river is discussed.
