ABSTRACT
The roots of the Society for Ethnomusicology in the work of Stumpf, Ellis, Hornbostel and others and in the Zeitschrift für Vergleichende Muslkwissenschaft have been delineated ably and in detail in earlier issues of ETHNOMUSICOLOGY and elsewhere (Seeger 1956; Rhodes 1956; Kolinski 1957; Nettl 1956: 26–44).
