LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS MONOGRAPHS ON SOCIAL
ANTHROPOLOGY
Managing Editor: Charles Stafford

The Monographs on Social Anthropology were established in 1940 and aim


to publish results of modem anthropological research of primary interest to
specialists.
The continuation of the series was made possible by a grant in aid from
the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, and more
recently by a further grant from the Governors of the London School of
Economics and Political Science. Income from sales is returned to a
revolving fund to assist further publications.
The Monographs are under the direction of an Editorial Board associated
with the Department of Anthropology of the London School of Economics
and Political Science.

Preface
I WISH to express my thanks to Professor J. A. Barnes, Dr M. J. Meggitt, Dr
C. Jayawardena, and Mrs W. M. Balding, each of whom read and criticized
parts of the MS of this book.
The work was finished in 1960, and the delay in publication has been
beyond my control. Had I been writing the concluding sections of Chapter 2
now I would not have lumped all non-unilineal systems together. Certainly
they have facton in commo n, but there are also important di1ferencea. Am
ong the To'ambaita of Malaita a man is free to choose his district group, and
am ong the Buaama he can choose his club group. In Malaita, however, the
limiting factor is still descent, as in societies with a unilineal system—
although the descent is not restricted to a single line— whereas in Busama
descent does not enter into the situation. Here the limiting factor is the
existence of a relationship tie, which may be genealogical or affinal, with
some person already accepted as a member of the desired group.
