Abstract
FATHER PAUL SCHEBESTA, whose intimate A knowledge of the pygmy problem, acquired in the Far East as well as in Africa, transcends that of any living ethnologist, has now produced a sequel to “Among Congo Pigmies”. In this he supplements his earlier work on the Congo pygmies by an account of the Batwa of Ruanda and the Bachwa of the Equatorial Province, who, if not all pygmies, at least merit the title of half-pygmies. More important, however, for his present purpose, are the tribes of full stature with whom he came into contact on his travels in 1929 and the two succeeding years.
