Depopulation on Ulithi

Lessa, William A. (September 1955). "Depopulation on Ulithi". Human Biology. 27 (3): 161–183. ISSN 0018-7143.

Abstract: Ulithi Atoll, in common with most of the islands of the Caroline Archipelago, has experienced a severe decline in population since the early part of the century. It is my purpose to set down here some facts and figures to support certain opinions which I hold regarding the causes of this decline. Any contribution I may make will have to be a modest and tentative one, for the vital statistics and medical data necessary to construct an airtight case are not available. Nevertheless during a total of 9 months which I spent on Ulithi, distributed in two trips covering 1947-49, 1 made enough observations and collected enough census materials to convince me that my conclusions have much validity.
