This document contains eight pages of undated handwritten notes on unlined paper. The main portion begins on page two and is titled "Changes in Kin Unit Activity ('Normal' Social Change)," with "II b" at the head, dictated to James Spillius by Raymond Firth. Pages one and four are additional comments in an unknown hand. Note also that pages six and seven of this document are two versions of page four in the original, so that the second may be viewed without the overlay of comments. The entire document concerns changes in kin units, determined by family lineages, between Firth's first and second visits, and the factors influencing those changes.

Thirteen typewritten pages, numbered 50 through 61, contain a discussion of the complex social interactions among the Trobriand Islanders as they fill their yam house, possibly as part of a draft of 'Coral Gardens and Their Magic.' Malinowski imagines a system in which one could observe them, with each individual wearing a multicolored identity card indicating clan and other kinship relationships. A note at the top, written in purple pencil, reads, 'pp 50-61 will not appear in The Book.' Other notes, apparently written earlier in blue pencil, read, 'This may be used in Pt. II, Social Structure' and '3. The Colored Labels in Gardening and Harvest.'

Description
Typewritten manuscript written by Max Gluckman contrasting the marriage and kinship systems of the Lozi, the dominant tribe of Barotseland in North-western Rhodesia, and the Zulu. This comparative technique is adopted because it brings out the attributes of the Lozi system clearly, and these attributes are characteristic of a large number of Central African systems which the author does not consider have yet been clearly defined.
