ABSTRACT
1. Since I hope to deal with the general economic and legal conditions of the Trobriands in a subsequent publication, I shall only briefly enumerate and analyse the terms and expressions which refer to ownership, production, distribution of crops, and the appreciation of value—terms which must be classed as economic (cf. Part I, Sec. 10). Again terms, expressions and texts which illustrate native ideas of ownership, in so far as this is safeguarded and sanctioned, might be called legal; legal also are the words or phrases which refer to contractual obligations, duties and privileges.
