The Collected Papers of Alan Howard and Jan Rensel on Rotuma
Note: The papers posted on this website may deviate from published
versions as a result of scanning and transcription errors. Because
of limitations imposed by the internet, Rotuman diacritics have been
omitted. It has also been necessary to redo some of the charts and
figures, so they may not exactly replicate the originals as they appeared
in publications. Pagination has also been omitted, so anyone referring
to these publications in scholarly works should consult the original
published versions. |
