Two typed pages numbered 104 and 104a, with the numbers 1237 and 1238 written in red ink above, contains an apparent fragment of a theoretical study of language. The first begins with a partial passage about the danger calls of certain village residents, possibly Trobriand Islanders; and likens the utterance and the action it produces to the conditioned response of behavioral psychology. At the bottom is a partial footnote. In the left margin, the number 21 is written in green ink. The second page is a continuation of the lengthy footnote, primarily comparing Malinowski's approach to several others', and particularly that of Edward Sapir and Otto Jespersen. It includes margin and end notes in green pencil.

The contents are of an outline, in several iterations, for an ethnographic manuscript on the Trobriand Islanders. Page notes indicate some of the typed matter is probably a transcription of the written matter. Topics include: social structure; tribal life; economics; spiritual beliefs; concrete knowledge; and language. The information is written in English and indigenous text, with occasional terms in Latin and German. Margin notes appear to be in Cyrillic Polish.

Description
Two typewritten numbered 94 and 94a, written mostly in English with some underlined words in indigenous text, contains a discussion of Trobriand terms having to do with gardens - parts of the yam plant or stages of growth - apparently extracted from a draft manuscript. The content is very similar to that of a previous document, a typed page numbered 37, but with additional information and practically no hand-written annotation.
