Abstract
A NEW publication of the Section of Anthropology of the Department of the Social Sciences of Yale University, entitled “Yale University Publications in Anthropology”, has appeared, which will embody the results of researches in the general field of anthropology directly conducted or otherwise sponsored by this Department of the Graduate School, the Department of Anthropology of the Peabody Museum, and the Department of Anthropology of the Institute of Human Relations (Yale University Press, New Haven, Conn.; London: Oxford University Press). The issues, which will range from brief papers to extensive monographs, will be numbered consecutively as independent contributions, and will appear at irregular intervals. The first issue (Nos. 1-7) includes a study of population changes among the northern Plains Indians by Dr. Clark Wissler, an examination of regional diversity in sorcery in Polynesia by Dr. P. H. Buck, an account of cultural relations of the Gila River and Lower Colorado tribes by Dr. Leslie Spier, with several other communications dealing with aspects of the culture of the Indians of North America. A further issue of the publication, which will comprise six communications, is in the press. In view of the widespread activities in anthropological research of the institutions interested in this publication, and more especially of Yale University, the facilities which it will afford for early publication of results will be of great advantage to anthropologists. In this connexion, it may not be out of place to refer to the announcement that Dr. David G. Mandelbaum of Yale, who has hitherto specialized in the culture of the North American tribes, will be engaged during the coming year in an investigation among the hill tribes of Southern India.
