%X This summary article is concerned mainly with the distribution of the tribes which comprise the Leagues of eastern Inner Mongolia and the AIMAKS of Outer Mongolia. In some cases the author includes population estimates and brief descriptions of the distinguishing characteristics of the tribes. This survey is preceded by discussions of the manner in which tribal organization centers around the hereditary chief, and the way in which these tribes have been organized into larger territorial units. Mr. Lattimore traces the history and role of Lamaism in Mongolia and describes the ecclesiastical organization. A short summary of the history of Mongolia covers the period from 1162 to the present.
