Note 967 — Chapter IX · THE IDEA OF SPIRITS AND GODS
Joseph Ward Swain translation
On this question, see N. W. Thomas, Baiame and Bell-bird—A Note on Australian Religion, in Man, 1905, No. 28. Cf. Lang, Magic and Religion, p. 25. Waitz had already upheld the original character of this conception in his Anthropologie d. Naturvölker, pp. 796-798.
