Notes:
There are two photographs (exposures 4 & 7) missing from the A.II film, both of which were published as Plate III & IV in Evans-Pritchard's article "The Dance"
Africa: Journal of the International African Institute
, Vol.1, No.4 (Oct., 1928) p.456, with the caption "Men Dancing" & "The Dance".
They were evidently sent to the publisher of
Africa
and not returned.
This article drew upon his first fieldwork expedition of 1927, which provides a date of 1927 for this film number.
