This present journal can be said to have many more contributors than any of its predecessors. This is the result of a deliberate policy of involving numerous persons, both collectors and analysers, in the task of recording and publishing materials from this vast and largely neglected field of Australian narrative, custom, lexis and behaviour pattern. Thus lore, folk speech, nicknames, multicultural activity and certain religious observances all find their place in this issue. The number of notes and comments, like that of the book reviews, also shows an increase. |
