Note 167 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
He mentions the pira marriage of the Yandairunga in Journ. Anthr. Inst. XX, 60, but drops it in Native Tribes. It is unfortunate that we never learn why Dr Howitt omits to mention facts which he has previously published. Are we to infer that the previous statements are erroneous in every case? If so, pirrauru must be a temporary relationship.
