In each case, the first page, numbered 264, contains a text labeled with the Roman numeral CLV concerning customs relating to the loading of yam houses and sharing yams - a text also contained in an earlier document. The informant 'Leo' may be Leo Austen, the resident magistrate. It also contains the notation 'p. 316' in the upper left, a possible reference to a manuscript. The second and third pages, numbered 257 and 258, are apparently parts of a different text, labeled in Roman numerals CXLVIII (b) and (c) and having to do with a quarrel over valuables.

Six pages contain two typed copies each of two texts in the Trobriand language, with simultaneous English transliteration. The first, headed 'Text CXXXV [135]' concerns the special canoe-launching privilege of a particular Trobriand clan due to the particular powers of their guardian spirits, and is followed by a free translation and analysis. The first page is numbered 231 and contains a reference to 'p. 305' in the upper left corner, suggesting it is in support of a manuscript book or lecture.
Date: 11.8.18. Place: Sinaketa (Kiriwina). Informant: Toybayoba. The copies of the second text, numbered CXL contain a Trobriand Islander's account of planting a coconut, apparently retyped field notes. The initial pages are numbered 240 - typed or written - and contain the typed note 'p. 308,' in the upper left corner. At the bottom of the initial page is a footnote suggesting comparison to Text CXLI. Both sets of text copies are also duplicates of texts found in previous documents.

The content is nearly identical to that of the previous document, but has been retyped individually, has different written annotations, and lacks the written introductory notes and a title page.

Five typed pages of notes have to do with relationships in the village of Omarakana, the seat of the paramount chief of the northern district of Kiriwina Island. Brief comments are numbered, but not in strict order, suggesting they refer to field notes or some other source. The notes are written in English with interspersed terms in indigenous text -- generally nouns, with some underlined -- as if it is assumed the reader is familiar with the terms. The document also contains 'statistics' on gardens, yam-storage houses, and the men who fill them. The document is nearly identical to a previous one, but without handwritten annotations and corrections.

Description
Two pages contain an apparent carbon copy of a typed chapter outline for a book section on the economics of the Trobriand Islanders. Major topics include: transport; ownership; exchange, with specific discussion of the Kula trade cycle; and underlying theory. The only discernible difference between this and a previous document is that the last three letters of the word 'vaigua' are handwritten in the previous document.
