genres.' 1) Shadow puppets are flat and transparent leather or paper cut-outs, fastened to one supporting stick and manipulated by at least two other thin sticks or rods. Shadow puppets are popular in South India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and China. Imported from China, they are also known in Korea and Japan. Shadow puppets existed in India from about the time of Christ,2 but in China reportedly only from the eleventh century A.D.'

Trapping, collaring and monitoring the Lorisinae of Asia (Loris, Nycticebus) and Perodicticinae (Arctocebus, Perodicticus) of Africa
Abstract: We can gain a better understanding of elusive nocturnal mammals through live trapping them to gain vital samples and measurements and through following them in the night with radio or GPS collars. Studies that involve humane live-trapping of a species open the doors into better understanding a species’ evolution, diversity, adaptations, and behaviour. We review 11 studies that have attempted to trap lorises and pottos with physical traps, and show that this method yields very low success, and is achievable largely with traps specifically built and designed for the species. Hand trapping, however, was successful in 7 studies, and we make recommendations for this procedure. Once caught, we provide a detailed list of measurements and samples that can be taken, and review 14 studies (both reintroduction and wild) that have used various radio collars to track lorises and pottos. We intend that these recommendations will provide a standard by which lorises and pottos can be compared throughout their range.

Four Functions of Folklore
TL;DR: In a paper given at the El Paso meetings last year I expressed the opinion that the most effective way to bridge the gap between the anthropological and the humanist points of view towards folklore is through a common concern with common problems, rather than relying as in the past on a common interest in a common body of subject matter as mentioned in this paper.
