Excerpt from Varia Africana II Dr. Arlo Bates, who to the reading and preparation of the manuscript and proof for this volume, may truly be said to have given more time than I myself. Despite all drawbacks, I believe that in value the present number of Varia Afri cana exceeds the former. Let me hasten to say that in expressing this Opinion I am casting no aspersion on our earlier contributors, the high character of whose papers has been already acknowledged by the reviewers. Estimation of the merits of the present volume rests rather on the facts that I had not last year had any previous experience in editing publications of this sort, and that we had then no paper presenting so many new results from the field as do the articles of Dr. Reisner and Dr. Seligman, nor one based on such a mass of ethnographic evidence as that by Professor van Gennep.
