In the second OF two lectures on THE
secret societies Of the Banks Islands. %
given at the Royal Institution recently.
Nir ". II. r. Rivers said that in one OF
the ceremonies OF the secret societies they
had 100 dances and 100 songs. Decorated
men came in pairs from various direc-
tions. They carried bladders. which they
dashed against the trees. making loud
reports. Then they gave a special dance.
The three main features in the Kolo-
kolo performances were dances. killing
pigs and the payment Of people taking
part in the dance. To give a magnificent
lColokolO was one OF the best ways OF OBJ
tanning social kudos. The people had no
regular chiefs, and the men rose 10 the
top through these secret organizations.
One function Of these societies was the
protection OF property. A member OF q
society put up 8 certain sign. called
a taboo and that protected him from peo-
pie not connected with HIS society So
cieties, therefore, with few members were
extremely popular. and in consequence
tended to become large. That was one
Of the factors which led 70 the growth
and increase OF the societies.
II two men had a dispute about the
ownership Of land one Of them would put

ciety on the land. The result was that
