Note 774 — Chapter VIII · THE IDEA OF THE SOUL
Joseph Ward Swain translation
Strehlow, I, pp. 15 ff. Thus, according to Strehlow, the dead live in an island in the Arunta theory, but according to Spencer and Gillen, in a subterranean place. It is probable that the two myths coexist and are not the only ones. We shall see that even a third has been found. On this conception of an island of the dead, see Howitt, Nat. Tr., p. 498; Schürmann, Aborig. Tr. of Port Lincoln, in Woods, p. 235; Eylmann, p. 189.
