Chapter XXI: Conclusions (4)

[505] Cf. as the perhaps most typical example, Matthews, “The Prayer of a Navajo Shaman,” in _The American Anthropologist_, i. (1888).

[506] Cf. _e.g._ Svoboda, _Gesch. d. Ideale_, i. pp. 495, 496.

[507] Cf. the theories of Réclus and Svoboda referred to in p. 217, note 4, of the preceding.

[508] Cf. _e.g._ the typical instances of Naga funeral ceremonies described by Dalton in _Ethnology of Bengal_, p. 40.

[509] This interpretation seems to be indicated _e.g._ in the case of the rope-pulling at Chukma funerals (Lewin, _Wild Races_, p. 185). As to the use of tugs of war for purposes of agricultural magic cf. Haddon, _The Study of Man_, pp. 270-276.
