INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
The Kroeber Anthropological Society Ppers publish articles
in the general field of anthropology    including those wich it is
difficult, for various reasons, to publish elsewhere.   In addition
to  articles of theoretical interest,  the Pers will welcome des-
criptive studies putting factual information on record, as well as
bibliographies, linguistic texts, vocabularies and historical docu-
ments of anthropological interest.    The Society  welcomes student
research papers of high quality.
Manuscripts must be   typewritten,  double spaced,  on good
quality 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper, and on one side of the page only.
Endnotes (the Papers do not employ footnotes) and bibliography
should be placed on separate sheets. The bibliographic style to be
followed Is that used in this number of the Papers.    Authors will
note that the bibliographic style is an extended version of that
employed by the American Anthropologist.
Authors will receive  without  charge  twenty  reprints .of
their articles. Additional reprints may be ordered at the price of
one cent per page.   A small extra charge will be made if illustra-
tions must be reproduced by photolithography. When notified of the
acceptance of their manuscripts, authors will be asked how many
additional reprints they desire.
Manuscripts should be addressed to:
Editor
Kroeber Anthropological Society
c/o The Department of Anthropology
