The Society is particularly anxious to publish student research papers of high quality.

Endnotes (the Papers do not employ footnotes) and bibliography should likewise be typewritten, double spaced throughout, and on one side of the page only. The endnotes and bibliography should be placed on separate sheets. The bibliographic style to be followed is that used In this number of the Papars. A style sheet containing further information concerning manuscripts and bibliographic style may be obtained fron the Society upon request. iii Authors will receive three copies of the issue of the Papers in whoh their contribution appears.

Osce)x Nuinez del Prado is professor of anthropology in thu National University of Cuzco, and his article on Andoan native life appoarod originally in Spanish in the Revista Universitaria. A translation of this articlo is published. here in the belief that it doserves a wider audionce than it is likoly to have had in its original form. Esther Matteson, the author of the second article in this iSsue, is well known to readers of tho Papers for her contributions to our knowledgo of Piro culture and language. Her analysis of a Piro text is a valuablo supplement to her paper on Piro phonenos and morphology which appeared in Number 11. The throe succeeding articles arc by members of the faculty at the University of California. Robort F. Heizer analyzes several documents which expand our knowledge of California Indians in the historic period. John Howland Rowe points up a numbor of inportant problems which arc pertinent in ethnographic work, while Edward Norbeck presonts several fascinating parallels between myths found among the tribes of northern South Amorica and tho Philippines, and suggests an explanation for these parallols. Arnold R. Pilling, the author of the last papor in this issuo, is a graduato student at the University of California. His discussion of the archaeology of tho Monterey Coast is the first conprchensive trcatmont of this area to be published. The relatively small amount of space allottod to work by graduate stu- dents in this issue should not be taken as an indication of a change in editorial policy. In fact, graduato students are especially urgod to submit manuscripts for the forthcoming issues.
