Department of Ceramics and Ethnography, British Museum - Thanks him for his letter replying to his about Tonga trilithons [FRAZ/1/92], is convinced that Frazer's explanation is correct and that there is only one, was misled by Brenchley's account which derived from his officer Foljambe's report and drawing; a recent edition of 'Stewart's Handbook of the Pacific Islands' reports only one; it is possible the other collapsed or became overgrown, perhaps W. C. McKern could settle the question; there is an interesting account by Hambruch of the Ponape ruins in the Carolines in "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Anthropologie", XLII, 1911: he has spoken to Hambruch and knows he has a great deal of material. Accompanied by an envelope.
