[53] Cf., e. g., M. F. Washburn, _The Animal Mind_, ch. xii, xiii. [54] For illustrations see Dudley Kidd, _The Essential Kafir_, especially ch. ii, on “Native Beliefs.” [55] Cf. “The Place of Science in Modern Civilisation,” _Journal of Sociology_, March, 1906, pp. 585–609; “The Evolution of the Scientific Point of View,” _University of California Chronicle_, vol. x, pp. 396–415. [56] Cf. _Theory of the Leisure Class_, ch. iv, v. [57] This technological blend of manual labour with magical practice is well seen, for instance, in the Malay ritual of rice culture.--W. W. Skeat, _Malay Magic_, various passages dealing with the ceremonial of the planting, growth and harvesting of the rice-crop. [58] Cf. J. E. Harrison, _Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion_, especially ch. iv; J. G. Frazer, _Adonis, Attis, Osiris_, bk. i, ch. iii. [59] Such seems to be the evidence, for instance, for Cybele, Astarte (Aphrodite, Ishtar), Mylitta, Isis, Demeter (Ceres), Artemis, and for such doubtfully late characters as Hera (Juno),--see Harrison, _Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion_; Frazer, _Adonis, Attis, Osiris_, and _The Golden Bough_. Quanon may be a doubtful case, as possibly also Amaterazu. The evidence from such American instances as the great mother goddesses of the Pueblos and other Indian tribes runs perhaps the other way, or at the best it may leave the point in doubt. See, for instance, Matilda C. Stevenson, “The Zuñi Indians,” _Report Bureau of American Ethnology_, 1901–1902, section on “Mythology;” The same, _ibid_, 1889–1890, “The Sia;” Frank H. Cushing, _ibid_, 1891–1892, “Zuñi Creation Myths.” [60] Cf., e. g., Frazer, _Adonis, Attis, Osiris_, bk. ii, ch. iii, bk. iii, ch. vi and xi. [61] Cf., e. g., Hutton Webster, _Primitive Secret Societies_, especially ch. iii, iv, v; Spencer and Gillen, _Native Tribes of Central Australia_, ch. vii, viii, ix, xvi. [62] Cf. for instance, Codrington, _The Melanesians_; Seligmann, _The Melanesians of British New Guinea_.
