Comment:
Researchers Please Note: The 14-catalogue cites Gifford's field notes for 1915, but the ms. does not exist among UC holdings. However, the ritual genres occuring here are described in Gifford (n.d. #2). "Speech made each evening before the wailing starts at a mourning ceremony." (note in 14-catalogue).
