Abstract
WITH few exceptions the works on Australian V aborigines are in English; the older ones are ut of print, the newer ones exceedingly technical, lemanding on the part of the reader some enthusiasm and a good deal of preliminary knowledge. M. van Gennep, therefore, has put before the French public a general survey of various controverted questions of Australian ethnography and sociology as a preface o the hundred and six myths and tales trapslated in the second portion of the volume before us.
