Temne Household Size and Composition
The distinction between the household as a co-residing group of people who form a co-operating domestic unit and the family as a kinship group has become reasonably well established in the literature of anthropology (cf. Bender 1967; Bohannan I963: Chapters 5 and 6). Increasingly this same basic distinction has come to be used by demographers as well. In this article I discuss the size and composition of households among the Temne of the rural ch…

Rural-Urban Differences in Infant and Child Mortality among the Temne of Kolifa
In this paper, the author's census data, collected in 1963, are used to compare infant and child mortality among the Temne of the rural chiefdom of Kolifa Mayoso and the nearby provincial town of Magburaka in central Sierra Leone. Problems in data collection and analysis are considered, and Temne cultural beliefs and practices which may influence early mortality levels are described. Comparative data from Sierra Leone, as well as other West Afric…
Migration in central Sierra Leone
IntroductionIn this study I shall utilize data from one Temne chiefdom, Kolifa Mayoso, to illustrate patterns of migration in central Sierra Leone. Of primary concern are the extent of migration in terms of in-migrants and out-migrants and for the latter the relative importance of various destinations both rural and urban, the reasons for migration with special emphasis on patterns of out-marriage and finally, the importance of migration in terms…

Landlord and Stranger
The relations between a stranger who leaves his home to settle in a distant chiefdom in Sierra Leone and his landlord have for centuries been guided by customary rules. They are of interest to the anthropologist studying contemporary society, and to the historian who can sometimes elucidate from them otherwise obscure incidents in the past. In this article we describe the landlord-stranger relationship as it exists in Sierra Leone today, then giv…
The Social Organisation of the LoWiili
The Changing Political System of the Temne
Opening ParagraphThe purpose of this study is to consider some of the changes that have taken place in the positions of political officials and in the administrative hierarchy of the Temne of Sierra Leone, British West Africa. The time period under concern extends from approximately 1880, towards the end of the 'tribal wars', as they are called by the Temne, through the establishment of the Protectorate and the later introduction of the Native Ad…
The Organization and Functions of the Ragbenle Society of the Temne
Opening ParagraphThe Temne of the Northern Province of Sierra Leone are second only to the Mende in the Protectorate, numbering over half a million and inhabiting some 10,500 square miles of land. In general, they are culturally similar to their neighbours, especially in their possession of a number of societies, some secret, some not, which play integral roles in their lives. Of the societies found in this westernmost section of the Guinea Coast…

On Some Contributions of Demography to Anthropology
Notions of what demography is or ought to be vary considerably, depending essentially upon the predilections of the individual. Many who are concerned with research in human population do not regard themselves as demographers. Investigation has revealed that such people have been trained in a variety of disciplines but with a preponderance in sociology; ca., threefifths of the members of the Population Association of America were trained in socio…
