This paper cannot be advanced as a comprehensive legal statement of rules applicable to what is commonly termed the It is, rather, a re-statement of some of the more fundamental and generally-accepted principles on the subject, designed, it is hoped, to acquaint a body of professional people, standing in a lay position as respects the law, with what probably would be expected of them were they summoned to give expert testimony in adversary legal proceedings.1 In an attempt to make these rules more meaningful to the particular profession involved, anthropology, some effort has been made to suggest the specific role of this profession in Indian claims cases in connection with several aspects of the rather broad outline given of the subject of the expert witness. The profession of Anthropology, at least as to giving testimony, is a relative newcomer to the courtroom.2 Several other professions were deeply enmeshed before organized publication and discussion of inter-relationships were undertaken, although close cooperation between the bench, bar, and sciences in planning suggestions for improvement and solutions of common problems is now a common occurrence.3
