tion upon the part which the pig plays in the life of Melanesia, its 
status as a bride-piece, its intimate association with the initiation 
into the secret fraternities, its entanglement with the magic of daily 
life, is recorded in the interesting volumes of Rivers on the history of 
Melanesian society lately put to press. Of the pig in general he writes: 
There is much reason to believe that the pigs found in Polynesia by the 
earlier European navigators were widely different from the domestic pig of 
Europe, even if they were not members of a different species such as is still 
found in New Guinea. The Melanesian pig still differs widely in appearance 
from our own. If the considerations which have led me to ascribe other 
elements of culture to the kava people have any weight, the pig should have 
been introduced into Oceania by this people. (W. H.R. Rivers: The His- 
tory of Melanesian Society, II 460.) 
The suggestion of this introduction to the islands was made much 
before Rivers turned his attention to the problems of Oceania. Since
