Lhota Nagas, a tribe whose dour attitude towards mquirers has caused them to be somewhat neglected in the past. Boasting no great knowledge of anthropology, I have avoided theories and confined myself to facts. During some three years residence at IM okokchung as Assistant Commissioner I have had considerable opportunity of becoming acquainted with the habits and customs of this tribe, many individual members of which are now my personal friends. The generosity of the Assam Government has made the publication of this monograph possible, and my thanlis are due to my many friends who have assisted me in the preparation of it. But for the encouragement and advice of Mr. J. H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner of the Kaga Hills and Director of Ethnography in A ssam, it would probably never have been written. He has helped me throughout in every possible way, and has contributed a most valuable introduction and notes. I am further indebted to Mr. Hutton for six photographs and a drawing, while for two other photographs my thanks are due to Mr. S. G. Butler. I have further to thank Miss A. M. Grace of Hove for the coloured frontispiece and I iss E. M. Paterson for the drawing of the median bands of the two types of rukhus d. Lt.-C ol. J. Shakespear has been kind enough to do the index for me.
