- W636264311 abstract "THE collection of tales and song-texts given in this volume was made during a stay of ten months in Alu and Mono, Bougainville Strait, in 1908–9. The author has given the texts as taken down from the dictation of a Mono-Alu man, son of a late chief, and the Mono text is given in all but eight cases. Although traces of the old Alu speech are to be found in the tales, that language has practically disappeared and Mono has taken its place, owing to the conquest of Alu by the Mono people some sixty years ago. In these islands, therefore, Mono-Alu-Faura now form a unit area. The tales as presented by Dr. Wheeler provide much valuable material for linguistic study, but more important in some respects is the light they throw on the culture of the people. The tales, indeed, enshrine much that has already passed away. Dr. Wheeler himself points out, for example, that the incident of wrapping blood in a leaf which occurs in one of the most interesting and bizarre of the stories, in the actual practice is a feature of a rite analogous to the motive. In another story bones renew their life, a motive which stands in relation to the burning rites for a dead body in the Mono area. Similar analogies and references could be quoted time after time. Dr. Wheeler's scholarly volume will well repay careful study." @default.
