Abstract
SECTION H. ANTHROPOLOGY. OPENING ADDRESS BY A. C. HADDON, M.A., Sc.D., F.R.S., M.R.I.A., PRESIDENT OF THE SECTION. So much has been written of late on totemism that I feel some diffidence in burdening still further the literature of the subject. But I may plead a slight claim on your attention, as I happen to be an unworthy member of the Crocodile kin of the Western tribe of Torres Straits, and I have been recognised as such in another island than the one where I changed names with Maino, the chief of Tutu, and thereby became a member of his kin.
