Abstract
IN his work on the tribes of the Ashanti Hinterland, Capt. Rattray has brought to light a mass of material for which all anthropologists must be grateful, while as an administrator, he has been at pains to investigate those aspects of native thought and organisation that must be understood if ‘indirect rule’ is to be put into operation successfully.
