AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is based on a three-day stop at Karaga and Karaginski Island in August 1897. Since this article contains more ethnographical information than in previous articles by Barrett-Hamilton, it would seem to indicate that the co-author, Mr. Jones, is an ethnologist, but it is not clear whether Mr. Jones actually visited Kamchatka. Barrett-Hamilton, who did visit the area, is unfortunately a naturalist and not trained ethnographer, though he appears to be quite unbiased as an observer. The ethnographical information reported by these two men is based on much too hurried a survey to be anything more than fragmentary data on some external aspects of the culture of Karaga and Karaginski Island, though the information does have the virtue of being first-hand and of being written up in a systematic fashion. Karaga and Karaginski Island are generally considered to be in Koryak territory, but Jones and Barrett-Hamilton classify the inhabitants of Karaga as Kamchadal and guess that the inhabitants of Karaginski Island are Kamchadalized Koryak.
