“ The anthropologist--and it is from his point of view that I approach the matter--has to decide which of these two names he will use. He has to mention the names of different places continually, and as he cannot always give two alternatives, he has to fix on one or the other. The natural tendency of the anthropologist, due to his interest in native matters, is to use native names, and this tendency shows itself in anthropological literature. ”
