This series contains material from Maramasike Island (in South Malaita), concentrating on the Sa’a language as well as other local languages. It includes (at times incomplete) comparative vocabulary lists (Sa’a-English) which were probably compiled by Capell, a typed paper on the difference between Uki, Niawa, and Sa’a (the three local languages), a map showing the population distribution on Maramasike Island, and handwritten notes on the grammar of Sa’a and other local languages.
