London. teristics not found in the adjoining islands. The local dialect, for instance, re tains an initial k in certain words which has been lost in both Trukese and Mortlockese (e.g., the first person plural exclusive absolute pronoun is ij,iim in Trukese, iimem in Mortlockese, and kitmem in the Losap dialect). The Losap people claim that in aboriginal times the chiefs of Losap Island held dominion over the inhabitants of Pis Island, at the other end of the lagoon, and over the nearby island of Nama as well. Foreigners have tended to assume that all three communities were closely related culturally, because of the geographical proxiniity and perhaps also because of the political rela tionship. However, the natives themselves claim that the people of Nama are more closely related to those of Kutu in the Mortlocks than to those of nearby Losap. They explain that in prehistoric times a typhoon nearly annihilated the true inhabitants of Nama, who were then related to the Losap people, and that settlers from Kutu repopulated the island. The speech and social organi zation of the Nama people, as far as I am familiar with them, are distinct from those of Losap and thus bear out this story, as does the fact that the Nama and Kntu people even today exchange gifts and visit back. and forth with special frequency. One would expect that any typhoon devastating Nama would do considerable damage to Losap, but Losap proper is especially well protected from storms from any direction, as coral islands go, since it is on the inner side of a particularly broad stretch of atoll reef and has another island between it and the sea side. One would expect, therefore, that the Losap popu lation would survive a typhoon with considerably fewer casualties. Pis Island, the other inhabited island in Losap Lagoon, is culturally similar to Losap. Although it is now officially a separate municipality under the Ameri can administration of the Trust Territory, the people and officials have con tinued to look for leadership to the parent island of Losapproper. It is no doubt significant that the name "Pis" is a term widely applied throughout the Greater Truk area to small or uninhabited satellite islands. 1025 1026 American Anthropologlist [57, 1955 FISCHERl Avunculocal Residence on Losap 1027 One of the most striking of the unique characteristics of Losap society is riage, age varying considerably for the individual, he is likely to move to his the pattern of avunculocal residence, the subject of this paper.

The contrast with following the insistence of foreign administrators. It appears that over most of the nearby island of Nama is especially striking, for Nama proved to be the the district each matrilocal extended family originally tended to have its own most strongly matrilocal island in the whole district (113 matrilocal, 3 patri establishment On lineage land, somewhat removed from other families. But local, 1 neolocal, and 1 unknown to informant). on Losap the village pattern was reportedly indigenou,s. The very names of The survey of residence on Losap was conducted by asking several natives the islets suggest this. The large, uninhabited island is named Lee-wiil (Laol of the island, visiting Truk, to tell me who was living in each house on the on charts), literally, l'In-(the)-Forest,H while Losap, the name of the small island as of the date they had left, what were the relationships of each adult, inhabited island, appears to mean l'At-(the)-Inhabited-Place" (native pro and who owned the land on which the house was located.

This contrast between resi formants were in substantial agreement where they gave duplicate informa dential and agricultural areas is not absolute, however. The houses have grounds tion, although they did not all know the same people. Avunculocal residence, which are usually large enough to have significant agricultural value, espe the dominant pattern numerically, was said to be preferred. After ascertaining cially in view of the dense population of the atoll (estimated over 1,500 per the pattern of avunculocal residence, I then went back over the data and square mile). Mention has already been made of the frequency of alternative asked the informants to comment on the exceptional cases, and also questioned matrilocal and patrilocal modes of residence. Discussion of specific cases with them on the ideal life-cycle.2 informants revealed that these alternatives are very important in solving The social structure of Losap is in many ways similar to that of the island problems which would arise from attempting to follow the ideal pattern of of Romonum in Truk Lagoon, as has been presented by Goodenough in his avunculocal residence and male matrilineal inheritance of land. recent monograph (1951). There are largely the same matrilineal sibs on Losap One condition under which matrilocal residence becomes preferable is found elsewhere in Truk District. Subdivisions of these of varying degrees of when all the surviving young adult members of a lineage are female. Normally integration are found. Most of the land is held by corporate matrilineages, al these women and their children would be supported from the lineage land by though, as in Truk, if a man is the last member of his lineage, his children will the women's brothers.

Informants inheritance is not clearly formulated on Losap, but in practice it tends to be say that some fathers like their sons to stay with them for reasons of personal narrow. One of the great causes of land disputes coming to my attention was affection and also to take care of them in their old age. As long as the father's just this question: if a man has no matrilineal heirs in his immediate lineage, lineage land is not too crowded, the other members of the lineage will not how distant must other matrilineal kinsmen be before the man can ignore press for the expulsion of the son while the father is still alive, although a man them and turn the land over to his own children? Some of the "have-nots" would be expected to leave his father's matrilineage land after his father's give the answer: any sibmate living on Losap or its tributary island of Pis death. Moreover, if the father is the last male of his lineage--if he has no at the other end of the lagoon should be eligible to inherit the land. But the sister's sons to care for him and exploit the lineage property-he will want to "haves" in these circumstances tend to want their own children to succeed to have his own sons stay in his household and help him with the work on the the lineage land on their death, even though while alive they might let remote land.

Several factors discussed below, as well as theoretical considera lineage land as well as his wife's lineage land. And, conversely, when a lineage tions, indicate that avunculocal residence on Losap has evolved locally from a lacks enough young men to work its land, the old men may seek manpower pattern of matrilocal residence originally shared with adjacent cultures. either by encouraging their sons and sons' wives to stay with them in patrilocal The existence of a rather concentrated village appears to be a facilitating residence or by encouraging their daughters' husbands to join the residence factor in this particular case. The closeness of residence gives a man a chance group. to maintain stronger relations with his sister and her children than on other The above discussion points out some inherent difficulties in an ideal nearby islands, even though on Losap, as on all the islands in Truk District, avunculocal social system.
