Galelareezen,” _Bijdragen tot de Taal- Land- en Volkenkunde van

to the east of Celebes, earthquakes are explained as punishments
inflicted by evil spirits for indulgence in illicit love (F. S. A. de
Clercq, _Bijdragen tot de Kennis der Residentie Ternate_ (Leyden,
1890), p. 132).

Footnote 399:
Probably a similar extension of the superstition to animal life occurs
also among savages, though the authorities I have consulted do not
mention it. A trace, however, of such an extension appears in a belief
entertained by the Khasis of Assam, that if a man defies tribal custom
by marrying a woman of his own clan, the women of the tribe will die
in childbed and the people will suffer from other calamities. See
