Abstract
The late Dewan Bahadur L. K. Ananthakrishna Iyer will long be remembered as one of the pioneers of Indian ethnography, and his son, Mr. L. A. Krishna Iyer, of the Travancore Forests Department and at present in charge of the Ethnographic Survey of that State, is commendably following in his father's footsteps. His third volume of “The Travancore Tribes and Castes” has just been published. The first volume gave individual accounts of seven of the Travancore hill tribes, the second volume dealt with another eight tribes, and the present volume deals with all the fifteen comparatively and generally instead of severally.
