Abstract: Report on a Collecting Trip in Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Czechoslovakia & Belgium, 5-7/1922, pp. 16-18. Culin is directed in Paris to two dealers named Guillaume. The first, H. Guillaume, proves to be mainly a picture dealer with a less than interesting African collection. He then went to Paul Guillaume's shop and found many interesting objects, among which were masks, standing figures, single heads, seats supported by carved figures, carved wooden cups and drum-sticks. Culin relates some conversation about Dr. Gordon of the University Museum, Philadelphia. Culin purchases a stool, a sceptre, an image and a box, 2625 ff total, before leaving Guillaume.
