J. Waring, Jr., George C. Vaillant, A. V. Kidder, Ralph Linton, Gordon R. Willey, George I. Quimby, Jr., James B. Griffin, J. Alden Mason and George C. M. Engerrand. Waring has very generously supplied me with new data and ideas, and aided in rounding out the material presented here so as to be integrated with further studies which he is planning. Thus it is to be hoped that the problem of the “Southern Cult” will be approached from time to time from different angles by different persons.
