Give his original group a name, say Emu. With Totemism it will contain captive wives of various groups, say Bat, Cat, Rat. It will also contain outside suitors, probably of the same names. These men are allowed to marry women of the group, and, by Mr. Atkinson’s theory, the offspring of these unions, or ‘cross-cousins,’ are allowed to marry the children of their aunts within the group. There are thus, within the group, two intermarrying ‘sides of the house,’ _veve_, as in Melanesia. But why or how do these sides of the house, practically phratries, now receive totemic names, say Yungaru and Wutaru, or Wolf and Raven? Perhaps Mr. Atkinson would have replied, ‘by a mere extension of the habit of adopting totemic names,’ which, of course, involves the pre-existence of that habit.--A.

L.] [Footnote 8: It will be interesting to see if research will bring to light the fact that even with so irresponsible and imperious a dynasty as the Ramesids some form of lustration was not considered necessary in the event of such unions. This is the case with the people of Madagascar under similar circumstances.] CHAPTER VII TRACES OF PERIOD OF TRANSITION--AVOIDANCES Survivals in custom testify to a long period of transition from group to tribe.--Stealthy meetings of husband and wife.--Examples.--Evidence to a past of jealousy of incestuous group sire.--Evidence from Teknonymy.--Husband named as father of his child.--Formal capture as a symbol of legal marriage.--Avoidance between father-in-law and son-in-law.--Arose in stage of transition.--Causes of mother-in-law and son-in-law avoidance.--Influence of jealousy.--Examples.--Mr. Tylor’s statistics.--Resentment of capture not primal cause of this avoidance. --Note on avoidance.
