In the early 1870s he travelled widely through Southeast Asia and New Guinea with Odoardo Beccari, making significant ethnographic and zoological collections. For much of 1873 D'Albertis was in New South Wales. He made further expeditions to New Guinea and the Torres Strait, including three visits to the region of the Fly River. His companions on these visits included Samuel MacFarlane (1875) and Lawrence Hargrave (1876). As an ethnographic collector, D'Albertis was considered by his contemporaries (and later) to be unscrupulous. His last expedition ended in desertion by his crew and a charge of murder (of which he was acquitted). He returned to Europe in 1878. D'Albertis's ornithological collections were lodged in the museum in Genoa, Italy. His botanical specimens were partly incorporated with those of Beccari, and partly sent to Ferdinand von Mueller, the Victorian Government Botanist. The plant genus Albertisia (Menispermiaceae) was named in his honour, as were a number of reptiles. 1872 1872 Life event - Travelling in New Guinea with Odoardo Beccari 1875 1875 Life event - Exploring the Fly River, New Guinea, with Samuel MacFarlane May 1876 October 1876 Life event - Second exploration of the Fly River, New Guinea, with Lawrence Hargrave May 1877 January 1878 Life event - Third exploration of the Fly River McFarlane, Samuel (1837 - 1911)
