SOURCES FOR THE HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY
I. The Sources of British Anthropology
At the invitation of the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities, of Santa Monica, California, Julian Jacobs (Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge) is doing research on the textual and visual sources for the history of anthropology in Britain. He is starting with a short pilot project, focussing on two anthropological traditions (those of Malinowski and Haddon), and five archival centers (the Haddon Li bary in Cambridge; the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford; the Royal Anthropological Institute, the London School of Economics, and the Museum of Mankind, in London).
II. The Papers of John Layard - The unpublished notes, manuscripts and letters of John Layard ( 1892-1974), student of W. H. R. Rivers and early fieldworker on the islands of Atchin and Malekula in the New Hebrides (Vanuatu), have been deposited in the Melanesian archive by his son Richard Layard. Included is an unpublished 800 page manuscript on the kinship system of Atchin, folklore notes from the Scilly Isles, off Cornwall, and clinical notes from Layard' s later career as a Jungian analyst. Processing is expected to be complete by the end of 1990. Further information regarding the Layard papers and other Melanesian Archive holdings may be obtained from Professor Donald Tuzin, Department of Anthropology, C-001, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093.
FOOTNOTES FOR THE HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY
Malinowski's Diary Redux: Entries for an Index
If ever a book in the history of anthropology might profit from an index, it must be the kaleidoscopic free associations of Malinowski's Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term. But the very character that demands it also forestalls the enterprise, and one can understand why the editors did not bother. Those who have worked closely with the diary since its publication in 1967 have had to do it themselves, making use also of such other labor as they might solicit or command. In addition to some indexing efforts of my own, I asked students in several undergraduate and graduate seminars of the late 1970s and early 1980s to keep a specific category in mind when they read the diary, recording all the instances of its appearance. Some categories were taken from a list I provided, others (e.g. , "love") were their own inventions.
3 Reorganized, edited, and reproduced here is a selection of those categories. In some cases, only portions of the diary were indexed; and in no case can it be guaranteed that all possible references to any given topic have been included. However, we have confirmed the page numbers of those actually listed. Given certain irregularities of Malinowski's dating, the parenthetic dates may in certain instances be only approximate. Although this sampling of possible categories can have only a very limited scholarly utility, readers of HAN may nevertheless find it of some biographical and intellectual historical interest. When time and space permit, other categories may be offered in future numbers of HAN; until then, however, the present form of the data make it impossible to respond to inquiries.
The parenthetic initials after each entry heading refer to the compilers listed below; page references are followed by a parenthetic date. In some categories, the entries are annotated; in other case, the more important references are simply marked with an asterisk. (GS)

Diaries and the problems thereof (BS)
Day by day without exception I shall record the events in chronological order. --Every day an account of the preceding day: a mirror of events, a moral evaluation, location of the mainsprings of my life, a plan for the next day. (103: epigraph to the 1917 diary).

Dreams (GS)
I had a strange dream; homosex., with my own double as partner. .Strangely autoerotic feelings; the impression that I'd like to have a mouth just like mine to kiss, a neck that curves just like mine, a forehead just like mine (seen from the side). I got up tired and collected myself slowly. (12-13; 9/20/14)

Guseweta
Formlated plans for next five o~ six months: Vakuta must be given No. 1 place. Revise and formulate basic gaps: Mwasila [kula] magic; waga megwa [canoe magic]; tauva'u [evil beings] in Vakkuta, etc. and then develop all this sytematically. Eliminate Capuan days in Sinaketa and Guseweta. ( 259: 4/21/18)

Kula (JN)
After lunch went to the village, ate paku, talked with the boys, when the Dobu arrived. I hurried out (and in my hurry didn't take extra rolls of film!). Impressions from kula (once again feeling of ethnographic joy!) . Sitting in Tovasana's boat I looked at the kula ceremonies. Raffael watched from the shore. Sinaketa almost like a summer resort with all these gumanuma people.--! was engrossed--as an ethnographer--in all the goings on. (244: 4/5/18)

5 Missionaries (EH, WF)
Saville's underhand dealings with Armi t annoy me, as well as the persecution of people unfriendly to the mission. Mentally I collect arguments against missions and ponder a really effective anti-mission campaign. The arguments: these people destroy the natives' joy in life; they destroy their psychological raison d 'etre. And what they give in return is completely beyond the savages. They struggle consistently and ruthlessly against everything old and create new needs, both material and moral. No question but that they do harm. --I want to discuss this matter with Armi t and Murray. If possible also with the royal commission. (41:11129114)

My own death is becoming something inf ini tel y more real to me. --Strong feeling to go to Mother, to join her in nothingness. I recall the things Mother used to say about death. I recall the countless occasions when I deliberately cut myself off from Mother, so as to be alone, independent--not to have the feeling that I am part of a whole--furious regrets and guilt feelings.--Our last moments together in London--our last evening spoiled by that whore!--I feel that if I had been married to E. R. M. , I would have behaved very differently.---Mother's last words, what she would have told me about her feelings, fears, hopes. I never was open with her, I never told her everything. Now, had it not been for this accursed war, I might have given more in my letters than I had been able to give her in person.--At moments I feel that this is only the death of 'something' within me--my ambitions and appetites have a strong hold on me and tie me to life.

6 Natives: some modes of reference
Thought about how to describe all this for E.R.M. The moon, the sea, the mood. The mon induces a specific clearly defined mood, I hum "and then there was Suzanna, pretty pale, and virtuous." Expression of feelings, complementary social milieu, imaginary. Suddenly 1 tumble back into the real milieu with which I am also in contact. Then again suddenly they stop existing in their inner reality, I see them as an incongruous yet artistic and [savage], exotic=unreal, inteangible, floating on the surface of reality, like a multicolored picture on the face of a solid but drab wall. I came back, Anaibutuna raced with the boys. Delightful feeling that now I alone am the master of this village 1 1 with my boys . ( 2 3 5 : 3 I 2 5 I 18 )

Novels (AL, MA)
Unfortunately, with the east wind, absolutely everybody left Mailu. I wanted to go with them, but I bargained, and they wouldn't take what I offered to pay, and this infuriated me--against the two policemen and the majority of the inhabitants--and completely discouraged me as well. Morever there was absolutely nobody. Thursday I began to read Bragelonne, and I read it literally without interruption, until Wednesday or Tuesday night. Dumas, say what you will, has a certain fascination. In the end he held me in his grip, though he doubtless has enormous shortcomings. And the reconstruction of the past is carried out disgracefully. Aramis comes out a perfect ass, makes no sense at all. I would start reading the moment I got up, I didn't stop while I was eating, and I kept on till midnight. Only at sunset did I drag myself from my couch, and went for
a short walk along the seashore. My head was humming I
my eyes and brain were [ . . ] --and yet I read 1 read, and kept on reading without letup as thought I were reading myself to death. Resolved that after finishing this trash I wouldn't touch another book in N[ew] G[uinea]. (62-63: 1115115)

Poland
At night rain, insomnia; thought of N. and Toska with
sensual regret 1 for· that which will never come back. 1 1 Thought about Poland 1 about Polish woman ; for the first time deep regret that E. R. M. is not Polish. But I rejected the idea that perhaps our engagement is not definitive. I shall go back to Poland and my children will be Poles. (252-53: 4/15/18)

Rivers, W. H. R. (GD)
Worked with Togugual but before that read Rivers as a sort of warm-up. This time he seemed much less absurd, and with reservations he himself recognizes, his book [The History of Melanesian Society?] doesn't look bad. Reading it stimulated me, and I simply bubble up with theoretical ideas. (280:5/14/18)

Tokulabakiki [informant noted as "my best friend" in The Sexual Life of Savages, p. 174] (DF)
For two weeks haven't kept the diary. Throughout that time my health was good, my capacity for work was excellent, and I worked a great deal. In the morning after I got up, the niggers would come to gimwali [barter]. I worked a great deal with Tokulabakiki --great progress in magic and linguistics. During work, I am normally calm, occasionally even cheerful. Sometimes--only in the afternoon--in addition to the words of megwa [magic], images from the past emerge. --Italy, the Canary Islands, or other places I visited with Mother. Then I go for a walk. For some time I was calm and lightheaded, then there was an immensely strong resurgence of grief. (296: 7l1611a)

1 0 RESEARCH IN PROGRESS
Raymond Corbey (Department of Philosophy, Nijmegen University) is carrying on research on "Ideas of Wildness and Primitiveness in European Thought, ca. 1850-1930." The first phase dealt with representations of tribal cultures, focussing on Africa (cf. below, "Suggested by our Readers"). The second phase of the project will trace ideas on wildness and primitiveness in post-Enlightenment thought (e.g., Nietzsche, Freud, Bataille). Two further lines will focus on violence, ritual killing, headhunting and cannibalism, and on the theoretical elucidations of relations between power, the gaze, photography and the representation of others.
Nancy Cutler Daniels (Department of Anthropology, UCLA) is working on a doctoral dissertation to be entitled "Still Life: The Use of Archival Ethnographic Photographs," and will be conducting research in the papers of A. C. Haddon, W. Baldwin Spencer, Bronislaw Malinowski, Margaret Mead, and Gregory Bateson.
F. L. Hadsel (106 White Street, Lexington, VA 24450) is studying the evolution of African studies in the United States from 1950 to 1970, and recently presented a paper on "American Scholarship on Africa, 1950-1970: Origins, Influences, Highlights" to the Atlanta meetings of the African Studies Association.
Edgar Krebs (Institute of Social Anthropology, Oxford University) is working on a D. Phil. thesis on "A History of Anthropological Ideas on the River Plate: The Place of the Indian in the Consciousness and Imagination of the Argentines," and is interested in George Catlin's hitherto neglected travels in South America.
Luis Vasquez Leon (Prin. Ixtaccihuatl 2726, Col. Vol canes, 72410 Puebla, Mexico) is at work on a doctoral dissertation on "Anthropology and Anthropologists in Mexico: Sociology of a Social Science."
Arturo A. Roldan (Department of Social Anthropology, Universidad Complutense, Madrid) is working on a disseration on the history of fieldwork techniques in British Social Anthropology from Tyler to Malinowski.
Paul M. Taylor (National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.) has been transcribing and editing for publication the papers of the Smithsonian Institution's major collector from Southeast Asia, William Louis Abbott, who was much influenced by Otis Mason in his collecting activities.
