Note 368 — Chapter II · TOTEMIC BELIEFS—continued The Totemic Animal and Man

Joseph Ward Swain translation

Among the Kaitish, if a man of the clan eats too much of his totem, the members of the other phratry have recourse to a magic operation which is expected to kill him (Nor. Tr., p. 284; cf. Nat. Tr., p. 204; Langloh Parker, The Euahlavi Tribe, p. 20).
