Abstract
The volume under review is a collection of articles on subjects in folklore by a number of prominent contemporary ethnographers (anthropologists or ethnologists in the terminology employed in Anglo-American scholarship), primarily Americans (the exception being an Australian couple, the Berndts). The compiler, Melville Jacobs, (1) who seven years ago published a very interesting monograph on stylistic models in the folklore of North American Indians, and most of the authors - for example, Luomala (2) and Lessa (3), who have contributed much to the comparative study of the folklore of Oceania - are outstanding experts precisely in the field of folklore.
