Abstract
(1)THIS book is dedicated to the late Sir Hubert Murray, fittingly enough. Not only does the author, the Government anthropologist of Papua, owe his existence, in an official sense, to that great administrator, but also the science of anthropology is indebted to him for his practical demonstration of its value in promoting the joint interests of people of different cultures and varied grades of civilization in the great administrative system which he built up by its aid in Papua in the course of more than thirty years of governorship.
