Watriama and Co, 2013, ch. 14, Patrick O'Reilly (1900-1988): bibliographer of the Pacific, viewed August 18, 2022:pages 262-263 (in 1936 Louis Marin and Leon Sasportas along with a group of enthusiasts formed the Société des Océanistes, and established a bulletin to publish its proceedings; in 1939, within his new Musée de l'Homme, [Paul] Rivet organised a less formal association, Groupe d'Etudes Océaniennes [not found in OCLC]; Patrick O'Reilly and Maurice Leenhardt led initiative to amalgamate the two bodies, which occurred at a meeting on 22 December 1944; like the Groupe, the new organisation was an adjunct of the Musée, but adopted the name Société des Océanistes in a diplomatic concession to the Marin-Sasportas party)
