Note 66 — PERRAULT'S (continued 2)

The work of M. Cosquin's referred to throughout is his valuable Contes de Lorraine, Paris, 1886. A crowd of Puss in Boots stories are referred to by Dr. Köhler in Gonzenbach's Sicilianische Märchen, ii. 243 (Leipzig, 1870). They are Finnish, Bulgarian, Russian, and South Siberian. The Swahili and Hindu versions appear to have been unknown, in 1870, to Dr. Köhler. In 1883, Mr. Ralston, who takes the Buddhist side, did not know the Indian version (Nineteenth Century, Jan. 1883).
