Clovelly, Metung. Dated 12 March, 1904 - Is coming to London with his daughter May; suggests [Baldwin] Spencer knows more about the ceremony of circumcision and subincision, and the knocking out the tooth is in his chapter on Ceremonies of Initiation; did not pay attention to totemism before, but has found a survival in the Kurnai, and is annoyed he did not learn it before, but totems are not prominent in their society.
