Abstract
IT is difficult to write an adequate review of this work, the result of Mr. Emil Torday's last expedition to central Congoland (1907–9), an expedition in which he was accompanied by Mr. M. W. Hilton-Simpson and a very clever painter, Mr. Norman H. Hardy. Mr. Torday has had the advantage of the collaboration of Mr. T. A. Joyce, of the British Museum and the Royal Anthropological Institute, and Mr. Joyce has been able to bring to bear on the compilation his exceptional knowledge of negro arts, implements, customs, religious beliefs, morals, laws, social life, games, songs, and folklore.
