It seems certain, humanly speaking, that it is the last tribal monograph I shall ever write, and my thanks are due to all those who made its production possible. The Government of Assam have again provided the funds. All praise is due to those who so regularly and generously pour out money in aid of the physical sciences. But there is no denying that our knowledge of the inorganic world has so far outstripped that of the organic that there is real danger that physical science may become an instrument too powerful for our control. The study of cultures and of their impact upon one another is all important if human progress is not to be left unguided in a shrunken world where the protection of distance has been well nigh destroyed by rapid means of communication. The greater credit is therefore due to a Government which, looking beyond the immediate present, is ready to stand forth as a patron of anthropology even in times of great financial stringency."
