1865, 1866, p. 71 (Demonology in Ceylon); Skeat, _Malay Magic_, pp. 45,
571. The same combination of the two classes of magic, as applied to a
medical cure, is instanced by Walhouse in _Journ. Anthr. Inst._ iv. p.
372 (Account of a leaf-wearing tribe).
[495] Cf. Ellis, _Yoruba Peoples_, pp. 99, 278; _Tshi Peoples_, pp. 98,

xv. p. 52, quoting De Clercq en Schmeltz, _Nieuw Guinea_, p. 185. For
an interesting analogy see De Landa, _Relation des causes de Yucatan_,

[497] Schurtz, _l.c._ p. 47. Cf. with regard to other means of
animating idols by contact, Brenner, _Kannibalen Sumatras_, pp. 225,
226; Pleyte Wzn in _Globus_, lx. p. 289 (Religiöse Anschaungen der
Bataks).
[498] Matthews, The Mountain Chant, in _Rep. Bur. Ethn._ 1883, 1884,
especially pp. 426, 427.
[499] Cf. the Kalmuck tales quoted in Stoll, _Suggestion und
Hypnotismus_, p. 31.
[500] Cf. Lucretius, _De rerum natura_, iv. vv. 1-1035.
[501] Cf. the facts collected by Réclus in his pamphlet, _L’âme comme
souffle, ombre et reflet_, and by Frazer in _The Golden Bough_, i. pp.
143-149.
[502] Rochas, _L’extériorisation de la sensibilité_, p. 103.
[503] Andree, _Ethnographische Parallelen_, Neue Folge, p. 19.
[504] Cf. Ellis, _Eẃe-speaking Peoples_, p. 98.
[505] Cf. as the perhaps most typical example, Matthews, “The Prayer of
a Navajo Shaman,” in _The American Anthropologist_, i. (1888).
[506] Cf. _e.g._ Svoboda, _Gesch. d. Ideale_, i. pp. 495, 496.
[507] Cf. the theories of Réclus and Svoboda referred to in p. 217,
note 4, of the preceding.
[508] Cf. _e.g._ the typical instances of Naga funeral ceremonies
described by Dalton in _Ethnology of Bengal_, p. 40.
[509] This interpretation seems to be indicated _e.g._ in the case of
the rope-pulling at Chukma funerals (Lewin, _Wild Races_, p. 185).
As to the use of tugs of war for purposes of agricultural magic cf.
Haddon, _The Study of Man_, pp. 270-276.
