This Bulletin presents preliminary results of an investigation of the Papuan Ultramafic Belt, a peridotite-gabbro-basalt complex which is thought to be part of a plate of Cretaceous oceanic mantle and crust. A summary of results up to 1967, which includes a brief review of previous work, has already been published (Davies, 1968). R. N. England is currently making a detailed mineralogical study of the peridotites and gabbros.The Papuan Ultramafic Belt is a peridotite-gabbro-basalt complex which crops out over a length of 400 km (NW-SE) and a width of 40 km, on the northeastern side of the Owen Stanley Range in eastern Papua (7°-10°S, 147°-149°E).
