Note 4 — II. THE URINE DANCE OF THE ZUÑIS.

“There must, I think, be some mistake about the fanatical dance of Arabian Bedouins; probably one of the wild practices of Moslem Dervishes was described in the source you have mislaid. These practices are Turkish or Persian, not Arabian, in origin. The Rifar Dervishes eat live serpents and scorpions, and, I dare say, perform still more disgusting acts.”—(Personal letter from Professor W. Robertson Smith, Christ’s College, Cambridge, England.)
