Abstract
PUBLICATION of this report has been delayed through the outbreak of war with Japan. The research was carried out in 1936 on behalf of the Institute of Pacific Relations, the object being to discover the effects of contact with Europeans upon native cultures in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea. A previous report in 1928 dealt with proposed methods of carrying out the administrative policy towards the primitive Papuan tribes ; the present inquiry is on the actual changes attributable to the influence of Europeans.
