Richard, “History of Tonquin,” _ib._ p. 746. The account of the ceremony by Tavernier (whom Baron criticises very unfavourably) is somewhat different. According to him the expulsion of wicked souls at the New Year is combined with sacrifice to the honoured dead. See Harris, _Voyages and Travels_, i. 823. 502 Aymonier, _Notice sur le Cambodge_, p. 62. 503 Bastian, _Die Völker des östlichen Asien_, iii. 237, 298, 314, 529 _sq._; Pallegoix, _Royaume Thai ou Siam_, i. 252. Bastian (p. 314), with whom Pallegoix seems to agree, distinctly states that the expulsion takes place on the last day of the year. Yet both state that it occurs in the fourth month of the year. According to Pallegoix (i. 253) the Siamese year is composed of twelve lunar months, and the first month usually begins in December. Hence the expulsion of devils would commonly take place in March, as in Cambodia. 504 J.
