ABSTRACT
IT is not enough to know about the territorial aspect of kin ties. A description of the attitudes, rights and duties which kinsmen have to one another, and the degree to which these are fulfilled will give us a picture of the constitution of the effective kin-group. There are four rough classes of interpersonal kin relations—those between kin living in the same household, between agnates living outside the household though usually in the same village, between other cognates usually in different villages, and between affines.
