NICHOLSON, Sydney. 18?? — 19??. Rev. British (?) Missionary in India. From 1897 worked in South India, e.g. in Cuddapah (Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh) for London Missionary Society (still there 1915).
Publications: “Women’s Cloths in the Cuddapa District, South India”, Man 20, 1920, 149-152; “Social Organization of the Mālas – An Outcaste Indian People”, JRAnthrInst 56, 1926, 91-103.
Sources: Unfortunately Internet is full of the composer S.N. and I have not succeeded in finding our missionary among the numerous references. Finally (2036) the Report of the London Miss. Soc. 120 for 1915 gave a few hints.
