* This review (dated 27 December 1947) reached me on 14 January 1948, long after my article (‘People without a history’) had been written, and after I had corrected the proofs. It is a remarkable coincidence that the Commissioner for Archaeology in the Sudan should refer to the same subject here. Some years ago he did mention the Shilluk mounds to me in conversation, saying he had picked up early-looking potsherds on them; but since then neither of us has mentioned them. Although we seem to be in complete agreement, it should be made clear that there has been no collusion, nor must any responsibility be attached to Mr Arkell for anything I have said. On the other hand I regard Mr Arkell’s remarks above as strongly reinforcing my own less authoritative suggestions. O.G.S.C.
