Note 1204 — Chapter IV · THE POSITIVE CULT—continued III.—Representative or Commemorative Rites

Joseph Ward Swain translation

Nor. Tr., pp. 226 ff. On this same subject, cf. certain passages of Eylmann which evidently refer to the same mythical being (Die Eingeborenen, etc., p. 185). Strehlow also mentions a mythical snake among the Arunta (Kulaia, water-snake) which may not differ greatly from the Wollunqua (Strehlow, I, p. 78; cf. II, p. 71, where the Kulaia is found in a list of totems).
