520    This study, based on a lifelong involvement with New 
       Guinea, compares the culture of the Kamoro (18,000 people)
       with that of their eastern neighbours, the Asmat (40,000),
       both living on the south coast of West Papua, Indonesia. 
       The comparison, showing substantial differences as well as
       striking similarities, contributes to a deeper 
       understanding of both cultures. Part I looks at Kamoro 
       society and culture through the window of its ritual cycle,
       framed by gender. Part II widens the view, offering in a 
       comparative fashion a more detailed analysis of the socio-
       political and cosmo-mythological setting of the Kamoro and
       the Asmat rituals. Next is a systematic comparison of the 
       rituals. The comparison includes a cross-cultural, 
       structural analysis of relevant myths. This publication is
       of interest to scholars and students in Oceanic studies 
       and those drawn to the comparative study of cultures. Jan 
       Pouwer (1924) started his career as a government 
       anthropologist in West New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s, 
       with periods of intensive fieldwork, in particular among 
       the Kamoro. A distinguished anthropologist, he held 
       professorships at universities around the world.
