  abstract = 	{This source is the result of six months field work undertaken by the author, a well known professional anthropologist, among the Manus of the Admiralty Islands. It is an exhaustive and highly intricate study of the Manus 'Sir Ghost' cult and its repercussions on the established religious system of the people. Of prime importance in the religious system of the Manus are the oracles whose interpretations of illnesses are based on sins of omission or commission on the part of the mortals as revealed to them by the offended ghosts of the dead through divination. Many examples are given in the text of cases in which illness was the direct result of sin, and how, through expiation, these illnesses were 'cured.'},
