Note 68 — PART II Congo Folklore Tales or Stories told round the Congo Fire

C. J. Harris, in his introduction to Uncle Remus and His Sayings (Ward, Lock and Co., 6d. edition) mentions Prof. J. W. Powell, of the Smithsonian Institute, and Herbert H. Smith as having found similar stories “in a number of languages, and in various modified forms.” The former among the North American Indians, and the latter among the South American Indians, and one in particular he has traced to India, and as far east as Siam. I would refer the reader to that Introduction for further details.
