(Diamang, Publicações culturais, no. 25. / (Servicio de Saúde, Subsídios para o estudo da antropologia na Lunda).Very rare two-volume set of this study of anthropometry of the Lunda and Songo indigenous people. An obscure publication that aimed to identify the 'races' to be distinguished. One of the later examples of anthropometrically recorded racial science. Decades earlier, dedicated researchers, and not only German ones, had already measured this completely in vain. - Text in Portuguese
