[9] See Jastrow, _Religion_ II 745 sq. and Boll, _Der ostasiatische Tierzyklus im Hellenismus_ (Leiden 1912). I hope to treat this phase of the subject more fully in a special article. See for the present the summary of my paper on this subject in the Actes du IV{ère} Congrès International d'Histoire des Religions (Leiden 1913) 106-111 and Records of the Past (Washington) Vol. XII (1913) 12-16. [10] See Hartland, _Primitive Paternity_--especially the summary in Chap. VII, and also Frazer, _Totemism and Exogamy_ I 93 seq.; 191 seq. etc. [11] See Ploß-Bartels, _Das Weib_ (2{d} ed.) Chap. XXXII; _Das Kind_ Chap. III, VIII, IX and Van Gennep, _Rites de Passage_ Chap. V. [12] Part XXVII and Part XXVIII Pl. 1-42 of _Cuneiform Texts from Babylonian Tablets etc. in the British Museum_, are taken up with texts of this character. [13] Parts XX, XXX and XXXI and Pl. 1-42 of Part XXVIII represent the bulk of this section of the Library so far as recovered by Layard, Rassam and George Smith. Previous to the British Museum publication, Alfred Boissier had published three volumes of divination texts of all kinds under the title of _Documents Assyriens relatifs aux Présages_ (Paris 1894-99) and in his _Choix de Textes relatifs a la Divination Assyro-Babylonienne_ (Paris 1905-06). [14] The chief publications of astrological texts is by Ch. Virolleaud under the title _L'Astrologie Chaldéenne_ (Paris 1903-13), consisting up to the present of four parts and two supplements containing texts, and four parts with two supplements containing the transliteration of these texts. Besides this publication, M. Virolleaud has published numerous fragments of texts in the periodical _Babyloniaca_, founded and edited by him. Cun. Texts, Part XXX Pl. 43-50 also contains astrological texts; Part XXXIII Pl. 1-12 are aids to astrology. [15] Chiefly by Boissier in the two works mentioned in note 2 on p. 6. [16] Copious specimens of liver divinations texts in German translation with comments will be found in the author's _Religion Babyloniens und Assyriens_ II 227-412; of Astrological Texts _ib_ II 458-740; Oil and Water, Divination _ib_ II 749-775; of Animal omens _ib_ II 775-826; of Birth omens _ib_ II 837-941 and a summary view of the miscellaneous omens _ib_ II 946-969. [17] The same is the case with the collections of liver signs and to a large extent also in the case of the astrological collections.
