[Christians] and Pagans
in Raymond William Firth Papers, of London School of Economics and Political Science. Library. Archives and Special Collections Team (Tikopia and Solomon Islands Other, Tikopia Rank and Religion) (London, England) (20 January 1970) , 3 page(s)
Three pages contain a hand-written summary and two tables enumerating a census of Christians and 'pagans' in Tikopia. A sub-heading indicates it is a 'Re-count of 20.1.70 for R & R,' that is, in support of 'Rank and Religion in Tikopia.' The figures are apparently in comparison to a similar census in May 1952.
