Description |
[J. Stanley Gardiner, a naturalist, visited Rotuma for 3 1/2 months in 1896. He was a keen observer and conducted extensive interviews on a range of topics. His account, published in 1898 in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute 27:396-435, 457-524, is the most comprehensive ethnography of Rotuma published in the nineteenth century. It is an indispensable source for studies of Rotuman culture and history.] See also AC2-OLVOC206 which is Arthur Capell's vocab extracted from Gardiner's work. |
