• W2426517967 abstract "This paper presents a reconstruction and analysis of some aspects of Simbo or Eddystone Island social structure, It is based on recent field work1 supplemented, where relevant and where my own experi? ence indicates it to be essentially correct, by reference to W.H.R. Rivers' and A.M. Hocart's earlier accounts of Simbo ethnography. I visited Simbo briefly in March, 1960, to gather data, if still available, that might clarify our understanding of its social structure. In this period I was able, of course, to make only limited inquiries.2 My information derives from hearsay and from aspects of the social structure that still survive but doubtless have been modified by some 50 years of changing economic and social circumstances since Rivers* and Hocart's studies in 1908. I therefore can only suggest answers to several questions that arise in the course of this analysis, but the data are sufficient to clarify a long-standing ethnographic problem as well as to raise some additional problems. The problem of Simbo social structure as it emerges from Rivers' accounts may be summarized briefly. The most important social on Simbo was reported to be the taviti, a that in? cludes all relatives on both sides with whom any genealogical con? nection can be traced (Rivers 1914: ii, 83), that is, a personal kindred. But this same is also said to have been a landholding, partially localized (Rivers 1926:178-180), and exogamous unit (Rivers 1914: ii, 83). In other words, what would be defined, in modern terms, as a personal kindred is also reported to be a corporate group?a clearly impracticable if not wholly impossible situation. This was soon noted by other anthropologists. Armstrong (1925:45; 1928:40) argued that the taviti, as defined by Rivers, could not be any kind of group but was rather a category or, in Armstrong's and later Nadel's terms, a grouping. Firth (1936:226-227, 369) later noted, in effect, that it is impossible for a viable social system to be con? structed from the building blocks described by Rivers; since membership in personal kindreds is nonexclusive, no society or com? munity can be subdivided, except analytically, into its constituent personal kindreds (cf. Murdock 1949:60-61). Personal kindreds can? not, therefore, form the enduring and discrete units of a social struc? ture such as that which clearly existed on Simbo. The taviti could not be what Rivers claimed it to be and still do the things he said it did.3 The island of Simbo is small, about four by one miles at its widest," @default.
