Domenech, 324, 350; Featherman, Aoneo-Mar., 184, 310, 320; Chiapo-Mar., 274; Codrington, 42; Marsden, 229; vi. Rep. Bur. Ethn., 580; ix., 419; i. Crantz, 165; i. N. Ind. N. and Q., 152, 204; D’Arbois, i. Droit Celt., 251; Kaindl, 26. Biddulph, 82, describes fosterage in the Hindoo Koosh. Mr. Parkinson, in ii. Internat. Arch., 33, speaks of adoptive parents and children in the Kingsmill Islands. Adoption, however, seems there rather of the nature of sponsorship. It creates rights and duties, but does not involve detachment from the family of birth. A similar custom appears elsewhere in Polynesia.
