Thurnwald's plan to take part in the Kaiserin-Augusta-Fluß-Expedition (German New Guinea Expedition) of the Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin was not realised. Cf. the collection Kaiserin-Augusta-Fluß-Expedition (Deutsche Neu-Guinea-Expedition), which was recorded exclusively by A. Roesicke. Diary notes available (cf. Melk-Koch 1989). Thurnwald's collection of rolls did not reach Berlin until 1922 after the war (Melk-Koch 1989). JB 1924/25:12 states: "Several hundred rolls were saved from spoilage by mould by electroplating, including the extremely valuable collection of Prof. Dr. Thurnwald from the Augusta River (New Guinea). "Contents: traditional songs and musical instruments
