Note 1206 — Chapter IV · THE POSITIVE CULT—continued III.—Representative or Commemorative Rites
Joseph Ward Swain translation
"It is not easy to express in words what is in reality rather a vague feeling amongst the natives, but after carefully watching the different series of ceremonies, we were impressed with the feeling that the Wollunqua represented to the native mind the idea of a dominant totem" (Nor. Tr., p. 248).
