Former contacts, marriage and war. Included the Banks, Santa Cruz, Reef and 
Duff Islands, Ellice Islands, Slkalana, OTanglara, Rennell and Bellona, Rotunga, 
Tonga and Samoa. An ancestor of Te Arlkl Tafua was killed on Ureparapara before 
the white men came, as they had set on an expedition to conquer the Banks 
Islands In a truly Tarzan fashion. Ask Tefua [of the] Famous Fathers [who] came 
from Rennell. The analysis of your blood samples should give the questions to 
which we might try and answer. 
Firth saw two albinos In the same family. There do not seem to be many 
around and there Is little evidence of European blood. 
Firth traces albinism In the following parts: Reslake (p. 16-17)

You might get the descendants either at random or through asking for Mern 
specifically. One of Te Arlkl Kaflka's forefathers was an albino. As 1 am 
writing I am looking at Te Arlkl Tefua In front of me. He certainly claims from 
some Melanesian blood, whereas the fine features and hooked nose of Te Arlkl 
Kaflka appear rather stable over the generations. Maybe they chose their wives 
differently. 
Well, thank you for the ride, the joys and small sorrows of this trip. 1 
leave with the the Tongarlkl file, and will try and send on the other data from 
the Banks and Torres. But please send me a copy of the bleeding lists so that 1 
can go through, especially for Ureparapara and Merlg. 
With all the very best, 
Jean 
P.S. Don't sleep at the anchorage without a mosquito net. Defecating Is done 
In the sea (bathing In the nude) or In the lake, not on shore. These are the 
Tlkopla fed... 
Te Arlk Kaflka and Te Arlk Tafua should be given presents (food and money, 2 to 
4 $ each), equally Taumako and Fangarese. 
I Included traveler's cheques to the amount of 30 $ US which Is what I spent for 
myself from your pocket. We have been living cheap...
