Abstract
A straight account of a circumcision ceremony would be more at home in an ethnographic work than in a thesis dealing with land, population, and the adjustments of the social system consequent on expansion. The reason for the inclusion of this description in the present work is that the ceremony described possesses unique features arising from the very causes enumerated above. It is the first ceremony performed in an expansion area which has come to be inhabited largely through Government influence and encouragement during the last twenty years.
