I. Kinship Systems and Marriage and Migration Patterns 
Medical documentation for the entire three thousand-some patients who were 
examined and bled Included name, age, sex, village and Island, also marital 
status and name of the patients 's spouse, names and villages and Islands of the 
patient's parents, names of living children and reproductive histories of women, 
as well as travel and medical histories for each patient. Particular care was 
given to tracing the genealogical lines resulting from foreigners and Immigrants 
to the Islands during the last two or three generations. Invldlduals were 
questioned as to their assigned membership In exogamous, named social groupings 
(clans or lineages) and an attempt was made to elaborate the socially prescribed 
patterns of marriage among those groupings. This documentation makes possible a 
reconstruction of the genealogical and residential patterns on each Island, and 
thus provides both an elucidation of the patterns of non-random mating and a 
measure of population dispersion among these Isolated populations. 
II. Research Cinema Record 
Cinema records from the expedition amount to more than eleven thousand feet 
of 16mm color film. Motion picture documentation was undertaken for several 
purposes: 1) Cinema records were made of patients with neurological and other 
movement disorders to permanently record and permit further analysis of their 
conditions; 2) as a supplement to the medical survey and population genetic 
studies, cinema material will provide ethnographic background essential to 
Interpreting the epidemiological and human biological observations and 
laboratory findings; 3) medical problems (other than neurological) which could 
be effectively recorded photographically were filmed, including elephantiasis, 
other filarial Infection syndromes, albinism, congenital deformations, goiter 
and cretinism, and skin diseases; 4) as part of the Study of Child Growth and 
Development cinema was used to record behavior patterns and early childhood 
learning; and 5) In accordance with the wishes of the Scrlpps Institution and 
the National Science Foundation, the field procedures of the expedition and the 
research use of the Alpha Helix facility in dealing with the Island populations 
and handling of their medical problems were also filmed. 
The entire eleven thousand foot corpus of motion picture film will be fully 
documented with supplementary material and will become Research Films of the 
Study of Child Growth and Development and Disease Patterns in Primitive Cultures 
of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke In Bethesda. 
III. Cataloging and Collation of Still Photography from the Expedition 
Eleven of the expedition participants used one or more still cameras, 
documenting extensively every area of their work. There are more than eight 
thousand photographs, 90% of them in color. They fall into the following 
categories: 1) Documentation of medical and genetic problems encountered. 
Including filarial adenopathy, elephantiasis, tropical pyomyositls, tropical 
ulcers, trachoma, leprosy, gangosa yaws, goitrous cretinism, tinea versicolor 
and corporis, molluscum contaglosum, pedunculated warts, albinism and partial 
albinism, various congenital anomalies with and without mental retardation, club 
feet, reduction deformities, supernumerary digits, external ear deformities, 
diastasis recti, ptosis and atrophied extremities and post-pollomyelltls atrophy 
and paresis; 2) still photographic records of behavioral importance for the
