It was my principal intention in reviewing Dr. Bloch's book, Placing the Dead, to call attention to and, indeed, to recommend to Indonesianists his remarkable case study of Merina social organization and mortuary practice. Neither in my passing criticism nor in my even more brief comments on certain puzzling and unsatisfactorily explained aspects of Merina ritual, did I wish to imply any slight on the contribution of Dr. Bloch's ethnography. Dr. Bloch stands prominently among present ethno graphers who are now, by careful case study, advancing and enriching our understanding of the complexity of Malagasy social life. But from this standpoint, it is both useful and instructive that my review has prompted Dr. Bloch to clarify, on the basis of his subsequent field work and further reflection, a number of topics inadequately dealt with in his book
