335 Stefan Lehner, “Bukaua,” in R. Neuhauss, _Deutsch Neu-Guinea_, iii.
(Berlin, 1911) p. 448.
M79 Use of the bull-roarer to quicken the fruits of the earth.
336 A. C. Haddon, in _Reports of the Cambridge Anthropological
Expedition to Torres Straits_, v. (Cambridge, 1904) pp. 218, 219.
Compare _id._, _Head-hunters, Black, White, and Brown_ (London,
1901) p. 104.
337 A. C. Haddon, in _Reports of the Cambridge Anthropological
Expedition to Torres Straits_, v. (Cambridge, 1904) pp. 346 _sq._
338 A. W. Howitt, “The Dieri and other kindred Tribes of Central
Australia,” _Journal of the Anthropological Institute_, xx. (1891)
p. 83; _id._, _Native Tribes of South-East Australia_ (London,
1904), p. 660. The first, I believe, to point out the fertilising
power ascribed to the bull-roarer by some savages was Dr. A. C.
Haddon. See his essay, “The Bull-roarer,” in _The Study of Man_
(London and New York, 1898), pp. 277-327. In this work Dr. Haddon
recognises the general principle of the possible derivation of many
games from magical rites. As to the bull-roarer compare my paper “On
some Ceremonies of the Central Australian Tribes,” in the _Report of
the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science for the
year 1900_ (Melbourne, 1901), pp. 313-322.
M80 Swinging as an agricultural charm.
339 J. G. Kohl, _Die deutsch-russischen Ostseeprovinzen_ (Dresden and
Leipsic, 1841), ii. 25.
340 For the evidence see _The Dying God_, pp. 277-285.
M81 Analogy of the Kayans of Borneo to the Greeks of Eleusis in the
early time. The Sacred Ploughing at Eleusis.
341 On the Kayan chiefs and their religious duties, see A. W.
Nieuwenhuis, _Quer durch Borneo_, i. 58-60.
342 See above, p. 36.
343 See above, p. 74.
344 Plutarch, _Praecepta Conjugalia_, 42. Another of these Sacred
Ploughings was performed at Scirum, and the third at the foot of the
Acropolis at Athens; for in this passage of Plutarch we must, with
the latest editor, read ὑπὸ πόλιν for the ὑπὸ πέλιν of the
manuscripts.
345 See above, pp. 50 _sqq._
