- General Note:
- Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.

- Most Nyishi houses vary in length from about 15 to 25 metres, and most are approximately 6 to 8 metres wide : they typically contain several hearths, one for each family or each wife in a polygynous marriage : Front and back porches increase the area in which people can work or relax during dry or warm weather : this very long Nyishi longhouse may belong to Jorum Kamin, whom Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf visited on his trip from Assam to the Apatani valley, in autumn 1944 : Jorum Kamin's house, with 8 hearths, was one of the largest that Fürer-Haimendorf had seen : the small structure in front of the house may be a storehouse for meat or dry goods : a large crowd gathered to see the foreigner, and they may be the people shown in this photograph.
