A valuable record of anthropological field work undertaken by the late author under very trying circumstances and edited from his field notes by Camilla H. Wedgwood.

"The advice generally given by the old men is that a man should copulate once a night for three nights in succession and then have two nights' rest and so on continuously". "Only for old men, especially those whose hair is white, is it considered right to sleep with a woman once nightly with no intervals" (p. 155).
