Abstract
THERE are some notable additions to our knowledge of Tungus culture, particularly in the sphere of Shamanism, in this work. It is the more regrettable that the author's valuable firsthand observations among Siberian and Manchurian tribes should be accompanied, and to a certain extent obscured, by long and rambling theoretical disquisitions, couched in a novel and often ambiguous terminology. Their elimination would have reduced an unwieldy volume, measuring llin. × 14½ in. and weighing 8½ lb., to convenient proportions.
