Abstract
FORCE of circumstances has prevented Prof. F. Boas from giving to science a complete monograph of the Kwakiut, but he has. given a further instalment in the publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, which, so far as it goes, together with his study of the sociology of these interesting Indians (Report U.S. Nat. Mus. for 1895 [1897]), practically supersedes the reports published by the British Association. The present memoir deals with the industries of the Kwakiutl, but the author acknowledges the “many gaps and imperfections”, which he has endeavoured to supply by correspondence; even so, we have an important contribution on the technology. of a representative tribe of the north-west coast, a district in which the natives have developed a culture which differs markedly from that of other American Indians.
