[900] Herbert Spencer, _Fortnightly Review_, 1870, and _Principles of Sociology_ i, -- 171.

[901] This view is provisionally indorsed by E. B. Tylor, in _Journal of the Anthropological Inst.i.tute_, xxviii.

[902] One such case is mentioned in Codrington's _Melanesians_, p. 33.

[903] Frazer, _Golden Bough_ (1890), ii, 332 ff. This theory has since been abandoned by Frazer (_Totemism and Exogamy_, iv, 54 f.).

[904] Frazer, _Fortnightly Review_, July and September, 1905, pp. 154-172 (reprinted in _Totemism and Exogamy_, i); _Totemism and Exogamy_, ii, 89 ff.; iv, 57 ff.

[906] This is the theory adopted by Frazer in his latest work on the subject.

[907] The widespread belief that birth may be independent of the union of the s.e.xes does not, of course, carry with it an explanation of totemism.

(domestication of cattle and use of milk as food connected with moon-cult). Cf. H. Ling Roth, in _Journal of the Anthropological Inst.i.tute_, xvi, 102 ff.

[921] The totem belongs not to a tribe (Jevons, _Introduction to the History of Religion_, p. 114 f.) but to a clan.

Tyler_, 183 ff.

[928] Rivers, in _Man_, viii (1908).

[929] Cf. Frazer, _Totemism and Exogamy_, iv, 31 ff. The Bushman G.o.d Cagn, who has the form of a mantis, and the Hindu monkey-G.o.d Hanuman seem to have no connection with totemism.

[930] Cf. the remarks of Haddon, op. cit.

[931] So Zeus and other Greek G.o.ds.

[934] The moral perfection of the individual is an ideal that has arisen out of social relations; it is demanded by the deity because the moral standard of a deity is that of his human society.

[935] In international relations this tendency appears in the demand for arbitration.

[937] Cf. the Chickasa _hullo_, said to mean 'mysterious'

(Speck, in _Journal of American Folklore_, xx, 57).

[938] The danger from such objects is referred to a supernatural presence, whose att.i.tude toward human beings may be doubtful; only, when the phenomenon observed is thought to be nonnatural and is afflictive (as in the case of death, for example), this att.i.tude is judged to be hostile.

[939] Purely economic and other social considerations are sometimes combined with the mana conception.

[940] The physical unity produced by contact may be brought about, according to savage philosophy, in other ways.
