Abstract
This paper was based on information obtained from Annamese informants employed at the University of California at Berkeley in connection with the Army Specialized Training Program. The data concern the kinship system of the Annamese-speaking peoples of Tonkin, Annam and Cochinchina. Considerable incidental information is included on sib organization, concubinage, and relations within the polygynous family.
