他讨论了不同部落的可能起源和迁徙，如他们的文化、信仰和传说所表明的那样。这些有价值的页面提出了许多引人入胜的问题，我们希望赫顿先生稍后能全面处理这些问题。米尔斯先生将大量的信息压缩到他的专著的230多页中。很明显，他和他的Lhotas关系很好。一个被不那么和蔼的观察者污蔑为粗暴、阴郁和闷闷不乐的民族，除了值得信赖的朋友之外，谁也不会像我们在这里所说的那样，如此详细地揭示它的奥秘。民族学的学生、民族迁徙理论的缔造者和民俗学家不会徒劳地阅读米尔斯的书。在这里，他们将找到洛塔人的信仰、传说、文化、习俗和思维方式的最详细论述。这本书没有理论性，书中充斥着事实，但有迹象表明，米尔斯对这些事实的意义有自己的观点，让我们希望他不久就会给我们提供这些观点。虽然米尔斯先生的书有很大的科学价值，但我们冒昧地认为，洛塔人和未来的幕冲分区军官是最大的受益者。像这样一本书，必然会把统治者和被统治者联系在一起，减少他们之间发生摩擦和误解的机会。我们希望总督管理委员会的成员在被要求为更多像现在这样的书籍筹集资金时，会考虑这一点。插图和地图又多又好，这本书的销量是值得出版的公司的。
which he discusses the probable origins and migrations of the different tribes, as shown by their cultures, beliefs, and legends. These valuable pages suggest many fascinating problems, with which we hope Mr. Hutton will deal fully later on. Mr. Mills has compressed a wonderful amount of information into the 230 odd pages of his monograph. It is very clear that he and his Lhotas are on the best of terms. To no one but a trusted friend would a people, stigmatized by a less genial observer as surly, sullen, and sulky, have disclosed its mysteries in such detail as we find them here set forth. Students of ethnology, builders of theories of the migration of peoples, and folklorists will not turn to Mr. Mills' book in vain. Here they will find the beliefs, legends, cultures, customs, and mode of thought of the Lhotas dealt with in the greatest detail. There is an absence of theorizing, the book being crammed with facts, yet there are indications that Mr. Mills has his own views as to the meaning of these facts, and let us hope that he will give them to us before long. Though the scientific value of Mr. Mills' book is very great, we venture to think that the Lhotas themselves and the future Sub-Divisional Officers of Mokokchung are the greatest beneficiaries. Such a book as this cannot fail to bring ruler and ruled together and lessen the chances of friction and misunderstanding between them. We hope that the members of the Governor's council will consider this point when they are asked to find money for more volumes such as the present. The illustrations and maps are plentiful and good, and the turn-out of the book is worthy of the firm which publishes it.
