 I wish to state that my book , Vier Jahre unter Kannibalen , contains a number of misrepresentations regarding my journeys in New Guinea . The book in question is a scientific report in part only ; it is primarily a fictional account of my experiences in New Guinea and owes its origin to the unusual circumstances prevailing in Germany at the time of my return . Some of the journeys I had actually undertaken are not described at all ; on the other hand it contains passages that do not correspond with the facts .
