Originally published in 1926, this book was written to provide an 'account of some of the ethnological conditions of the Southern New Hebrides'. The text gives information on various aspects of life in Tanna, Anaityum, Futuna, Aniwa and Erromango. Whilst much of the content is undoubtedly dated, it allows a unique insight into the development of ethnology and its interaction with the South Pacific region. A detailed bibliography is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in ethnology, anthropology and the South Pacific islands.
