Its interesting in the text that Tuen Wan has its own newspaper.

I wonder how widespread it was to have such localised newspapers amongst the districts.

It seems to be a remarkable find considering how far Waglan Island is from the mainland.

Are python’s salt-water, open-sea swimmers?

Who was `Vinjar`?

Submitted by Richard Muirhead on Fri, 2016-02-05 00:00

I am trying to find out the name of the person behind the pseudonym `Vinjar`. He/she wrote letters to the South China Morning Post in 1936 and 1937 on wildlife matters,such as the dhole and may have known G.Herklots.
