R. E. G. ARMATTOE, DR.

This account of a famous Ashanti festival was written by an Ewe scholar, who revisited his native country in 1949, after 20 years in Europe. In this time he had a varied career, which involved co-operation in anthropological work, the friendship of certain well-known Swedish and German physicists, a certain part in the social and intellectual life of Dublin, in which he joined from his Lomeshie Research Centre in Londonderry. He wrote a brief history of West African Art, and proposed inquiries into indigenous herbal remedies, and various endemic diseases. He has now returned to Kumasi, to set up a new Research Centre.
