Correction

COL LAURENS VAN DER POST

For some reason, the only corrections received in the last Quarter concern the United Nations in its various forms. General Daubenton writes to point out that the study of kwashiorkor, referred to on p. 3, 1. 19, of the present volume, was undertaken by the World Health Organisation, as well as by the Food and Agricultural Organisation. A learned letter from Mr. F. R. Bray, of the International Labour Office, points out the connections between the legend The Deeds of Bokari, printed on p. 61, and the Polynesian legend of Mauitikitiki. This connection exists, but not in the original version, only in the mind of the teller, E. Bankole Timothy. Finally, Dr. Chalmers Wright complains of the reference to the United Nations publication on inquiries into household standards of living, made in the Shorter Notices on p. 172, pointing to the 40 columns of material provided for the inquirer. I should have thought that this might have been surmised from the preceding sentence in the notice, which refers to a list of most of the field investigation in the past decade or two. The criticism of the actual content of the notice still remains, in my opinion, valid.
