Abstract
A NTHROPOLOGISTS are now beginning to realise the necessity of supplementing the methods of a general ethnographic survey by a more intensive study of smaller groups within limited areas. A good example of this class of investigation is provided by the account of the Polar Eskimos by Dr. H. P. Steensby, who was a member of the expedition commissioned by the Danish Missionary Society in 1909 to establish a station in Greenland.
