Photograph by Douglas Mawson, later Sir Douglas.INDEXThe index on the following pages has been compiled to help you to find any subject in this encyclopedia. A bold number in brackets, e.g. [12], tells you the number of the volume in which the subject appears, or in which a major reference to the subject is made. This bracketed number is followed by the page number. For example: Maoris, [6] 474, [12] 948-54This means you will find entries on the subject of Maoris in Volume 6 on page 474 and in Volume 12 on pages 948-54.You can find out even more about subjects, or about related subjects, by using the cross-references to other entries. In small capitals, within most entries. For example, in the entry on Maoris, you will find references to polynesians, land of the long white cloud, myths and legends, maori wars, language prehistoric man, morioris, greenstone tattooing, ceremonies, magic and religion, hunting, firemaking, native arts and crafts, canoes, and cannibalism.Subjects most commonly known by their initials have entries headed by those initials in the encyclopedia, e.g. ABC is the heading on the entry for the Australian Broadcasting Commission and this entry will be found in strict alphabetical sequence, after ABALONE and before ABORIGINALS. In the index you will find a reference to ABC, giving you volume and page numbers. In addition you will see that there is a reference to Australian Broadcasting Commission that directs you to ABC.Entries with names that are prefixed with Mac, like MACARTHUR, John, or MACKENZIE COUNTRY, are listed before names prefixed with Mc, like McCUBBIN, Frederick or McMAHON, William.Entries with more than one word in their heading, like WATER POLO, appear before entries like WATERFALLS.1726
