BALOMA;
THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD IN THE TROBRIAND
ISLANDS
1 This article contains part of the results of ethnographi-
cal work in British New Guinea carried on in connection
with the Robert Mond Travelling Studentship ( University
of London), and the Constance Hutchinson Scholarship of
the London School of Economics ( University of London),
with assistance from the Commonwealth Department of
External Affairs, Melbourne.

The writer spent some ten months, May, 1915-March,
1916, at Omarakana and the neighboring villages of
Kiriwina ( Trobriand Islands), where he lived among the
natives in a tent. By October, 1915, he had acquired
sufficient knowledge of the Kiriwinian language to be able
to dispense with the services of an interpreter.

The writer desires to acknowledge the assistance he has
received from Mr. Atlee Hunt, Secretary to the Common-
wealth Department of External Affairs, and from Dr. C. G.
Seligman, Professor of Ethnology in the University of Lon-
don. The unfailing kindness and encouragement of Dr.
Seligman have been of the greatest assistance throughout,
