ABSTRACT
The Eastern Team of the Bantu Line Survey was entrusted with the task of investigating the linguistic frontier between the Bantu and the non-Bantu languages in the area between Lake 106Albert in the East and the Ubangi River in the West. After six months’ preparation in London at the School of Oriental and African Studies, the team left Southampton by air on 25 June 1949, joining Professor A. N. Tucker at Malakal (S. Sudan) on 28 June, and continued the same day to Juba.
