Excerpt from Contributions to Cuna Ethnography: Results of an Expedition to Panama and Colombia in 1947 From February to September 1947 the writer of these lines had the privilege of undertaking an expedition sponsored by the Ethno graphical Museum, Gothenburg, of which the goal was chiefly Panama and Colombia and during which I was accompanied by my wife Karin and my friend Nils M. Holmer, a linguist, and at that time associate professor in the University of Upsala. The collaboration between Dr. Holmer and myself had started already earlier, established by our common interest in the investigation of various aspects of the Cuna culture, and at the time of our departure from Gothenburg, on February 8, 1947, this collaboration had just borne fruit in the publication of a joint work, A! Ii-i gala or the Way of Alan, A [medicine Song from the Ciinas of Panama. As a practical study inter alias of the Cuna language would be of great interest to Holmer, who had already proved in a brilliant way his theoretical knowledge of this language by the publication of a Critical and Comparative Grammar of the Ciina Language, it gave me great satisfaction to learn that he, too, would be able to accept the offer to accompany us on the journey, after successful applications for material support on his behalf from The Viking Fund, Inc. In New York and the Sociedad sueco-hispano-a mericana in Gothenburg. The results of Holmer's linguistic investigations among the Cuna Indians will be published by him according to a more detailed account given in the preface to this work. I should like to mention, however, even at this moment, that he has placed his whole ex perience at disposal for Such parts of this work as pertain to his particular branch of science, for which I am very grateful to him.
