INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
The Kroeber Anthropological Societs Papers publish articles
in the general field of anthropology. In addition to articles of theo-
retical interest, the Papers will welcome descriptive studies putting
factual information on record, as well as bibliographies, linguistic
texts, vocabularies, and historical documents of anthropological
interest. The Society welcomes student research papers of high
quality.
Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced throughout,
including bibliography and notes, on 8-1/2 by 11 inch paper, and on
one side of the page only. Endnotes (the Papers do not employ foot-
notes) and bibliography should be placed on separate sheets. The
style to be followed is that used 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 willbe made if illustrations mustbe
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:
