PREFACE

of the Museum fur Volkerkunde, not only for pleasant hours spent under his hospitable roof, but also for the many suggestions both in the matter of literature and theory for which I am indebted to his great knowledge of American ethnology.

Finally, to my friend Mr. A. G. Heath, Fellow of New College, Oxford, who under­took the laborious task of reading the work in proof, my thanks are due for many corrections and suggestions.
