Note 109.3 — Chapter IV · Notes

P. Rascher, M.S.C., “Die Sulka, ein Beitrag zur Ethnographie Neu-Pommern,” Archiv für Anthropologie, xxix. (1904) p. 211; R. Parkinson, Dreissig Jahre in der Südsee (Stuttgart, 1907), pp. 179 sq. In the East Indian island of Buru a man’s death is sometimes supposed to be due to the adultery of his wife; but apparently the notion is that the death is brought about rather by the evil magic of the adulterer than by the act of adultery itself. See J. H. W. van der Miesen, “Een en ander over Boeroe, inzonderheit wat betreft het distrikt Waisama, gelegen aan de Z.O. Kust,” Mededeelingen van wege het Nederlandsche Zendelinggenootschap, xlvi. (1902) pp. 451-454.
