For the projected development of the hydroelectric power resources of the Laloki River, Papua, a diversion weir will be required. Two sites have been selected by the officers of the Department of Works and Housing, downstream from Rouna Falls and another site, upstream from the falls, which would be suitable for a large scale power development. An inspection of these sites was made in order to indicate any geological difficulties which may be expected. The situation, physiography, and geology of the proposed sites, as well as the suitability of these sites, are discussed in this report.
