Abstract
IN 1923, Dr. Harry L. Shapiro visited Norfolk Island for the purpose of making a series of observations on the Pitcairn Islanders, the descendants of the English sailors who survived from the mutiny of the Bounty in 1790 and the Tahitian women with whom they settled on Pitcairn. The Islanders removed to Norfolk Island in 1856, but some of them afterwards returned to Pitcairn. These latter Dr. Shapiro was prevented from visiting by stress of weather. The results of his observations on Norfolk Island, together with a summary of previously recorded observations of the. settlement, have been published in Vol. 11, No. 1, of the Memoirs of the Bernice P. Bishop Museum of Honolulu.
