Administration and Anthropology in India

Abstract

MR. CODRINGTON is unaware of the facts that in this University lectures are given every year to I.C.S. probationers on the ethnology of India, and that an Indian area is selected for special study in the Tripos. The work done by Dr. Hutton and by Mr. Mills is evidence that fieldwork is existent in India. Nevertheless I share Mr. Codrington's regret that though the facts are accessible enough to those who have cared to work them over, the present discussions at the Conference are not enhanced by anthropology.
