首先，我们要指出，我们两人都没有声称自己是业余人类学家，这份报告的唯一理由是，我们最近有幸在塞皮克河上游的山谷里呆了大约五个月，与一个迄今为止还没有被文明接触过的民族呆在一起。[1]在我们访问之前，他们只见过三个白色人：一个在1913年，两个在1927年。此外，由于这一地区是整个新几内亚最难进入的地区之一，因此在相当长的一段时间内，似乎不可能有任何其他方面访问那里。因此，我们认为，即使是以下零碎和不完整的笔记，在我们的业余时间收集，可能会有一些兴趣。该示意图显示了上述各种人的栖息地，但为了充分了解位置，有必要首先简要检查Fly和Sepik河的一般地形，特别是人口分布。从Fly River河口开始的近500英里范围内，两边的国家都是一片广阔的平原，覆盖着茂密的丛林或高大的沼泽草，很少有地方超过海拔200英尺。从帕尔默交界处开始，这个国家开始在一系列小山脊上上升，
AT the outset, we would point out that neither of us makes any** claim to be even an amateur anthropologist and that the only justification for this report lies in the fact that it has recently been our good fortune to spend some five months in the valley of the upper Sepik River amongst a people who have so far remained untouched by civilization. 1 Previous to our visit, they had seen only three white men; one in 1913 and two in 1927. Furthermore, as this particular area is one of the most inaccess-ible in the whole of New Guinea it seems unlikely that any other party will visit there for some considerable time. We feel therefore that even the following fragmentary and incomplete notes, collected in our spare time, may be of some interest. The sketch map shows the habitat of the various people mentioned, but in order that the position may be fully appreciated it will be necessary first to examine briefly the general topography of the Fly and Sepik Rivers with particular reference to the distribution of population.Topography. For nearly 500 miles from the mouth of the Fly River the country on either side consists of one vast plain, covered with heavy jungle or tall swamp grass and in few, if any, places does it exceed an elevation of 200 feet above sea level. From Palmer Junction the country begins to rise in a series of small ridges\running
