Abstract
Although all undertaken in the same year (1909), the surveys for these reports were made by different investigators, as part of the South Seas Expedition of 1908-1910. Hanbruch spent two weeks in October on Ulithi, and two weeks on Faraulep in November; Sarfert spent 17 days in October on Sorol Island, four day on Aurepik, and 12 day in November, 1909, on Ifaluk. The briefness of the investigations naturally affected the amount of ethnographical data obtained, and 'there was also an occasional lack of trustworthy' informants. Damm wrote up the notes of Hambruch and Sarfert.
