Abstract
FOR most people there is a strange glamour about the South Sea Islands and their inhabitants, due in part, no doubt, to the works of such visitors as R. L. Stevenson and Gauguin. But few people know anything accurately either about the islands themselves or about the various peoples who live there, their material culture, customs, etc.
