The first ten volumes of the journal Ethnology included installments of
a feature called the "Ethnographic Atlas" in which information was
presented in coded form on various of the world's cultures. In 1967,
after 862 cultures had been thus coded, they were assembled and published
in book form (Murdock 1967) by the University of Pittsburgh
Press. The installments in Ethnology continued until 1971, when the
total number of cultures coded had reached 1,264. The purpose of the
present volume is to present a selected sample of this coded material in
a form designed to be maximally useful to scholars in the behavioral sciences.
