Abstract
MDUBOIS’ monumental study of the Betsileo of Madagascar, running to more than fifteen hundred pages, is the product of thirty years’ patient and careful observation conducted while the author was resident among them. Not only is it encyclopædic in scope, but also it may be regarded, as one critic has said, as indeed definitive.
