Note 54.2 — THE SCOPE OF SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY

M. J. van Baarda, “Fabelen, Verhalen en Overleveringen der Galelareezen,” Bijdragen tot de Taal- Land- en Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch-Indië, xlv. (1895) p. 514. In a letter to me of 14th March 1909 Sir John Rhŷs compares a Welsh expression, “Rain through sunshine, the devil going on his wife.” He adds: “I do not think I ever heard it except when it was actually raining during sunshine. I can now see that instead of ar i wraig the original must have been ar i fam ‘on his mother.’ In fact I am not at all sure but that I have heard it so.”
