[Owen]

Contains information about tribal life and customs in Arnhem Land, the coastal islands and Central Australia. The book is detailed and at times dryly academic, but contains a wealth of knowledge concerning the Aborigines at a time when they were hardly yet assimilated into non-tribal lifestyles.
