during that time, as well as for later encouragement
and help which he has given us, especially in reading
the proofs of the book and in making many helpful
suggestions. We are indebted to him also for the
Appendix to this book, in which he has stated and
discussed the results of the extensive series of physical

H. Ling Roth for the gift of the blocks used in the
preparation of his well-known work. The Natives oj
