Grasmere, Simla - Thanks him for the second edition of 'The Golden Bough'; his work as head of the Census in the Indian Empire has kept him busy, notes that he broke the record of publishing his tallies by three weeks; is on holiday; will be doing an ethnographic survey of India, and asks for his anthropological questions; his Census Superintendents are keen on ethnography; Mr [R. E.?] Enthoven has found a system of totemism among the Marathas in Bombay; is requiring the castes recorded in the Census to be arranged in the order of social precedence, which has gratified many and stimulated some to determine which class they belong to.
