In an Introduction to The Khasis, by P. R. Gurdon. This work, written by one who had a long and intimate knowledge of the Khasi tribes, gives an admirable account of the people, their institutions and domestic life. See also Sir J. Hooker, Himalayan Journal, Vol. II, pp. 273 et seq.; Dalton, Descriptive Ethnology of Bengal; and a series of papers by J. R. Logan, in the Journal of the Indian Archipelago, 1850-1857. Mr. Frazer (The Golden Bough, Part IV, Adonis, Attis, Osiris, p. 387) gives a short account of the Khasis; also McGee in the article The Beginning of Marriage already quoted.
