Related Documents File - A list of publications discovered by Jeremy Coote in 1994 "In an attempt to find something out about the son of Mrs Turnbull from whom collection 1913.77 was bought I looked up the name 'Turnbull' in Shiro Saito's Philippine Ethnography: A Critically Annotated and Selected Bibliography (East - West Bibliographic Series 2), Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1972. The only Turnbull indexed is one Wilfred, whose publications, all of which are in the Philippine Magazine, are listed below. I was unable to locate any library in the UK that holds the Philippine Magazine." The list of publications are: The Dumgats of North - East Luzon: Part I and II, Vol. XXVI, no. 3 and 4, Among the Ilongots Twenty Years Ago: Parts I - III, Vol. XXVI, nos. 5, 6 and 7, Bringing a Wild Tribe Under Government Control: Parts I - III, Vols.
