Only the nights had names, the days had none, _ibid._, pp. 72. Both the chronology according to moons and the counting of days by nights are linguistically demonstrated of the Melanesian group.

Sic constituunt, sic condicunt: _nox ducere diem videtur_,’ in connexion with the public assemblies at the changes of the moon. The fact must not be overlooked that, according to Caesar, _ibid._ 22, the Germans ‘agriculturae non student, majorque pars victus eorum in lacte, caseo, carne consistit.’ See also, on this subject, Pictet, _Les origines Indo-Européennes et les Aryas primitifs_, II. 588.
