] Wissowa, _Religion der Roemer_, p. 365 ff.; Fowler, _Roman Festivals_, Index. The Romans, with their thoroughness where public religion was concerned, divided all the days of the year into the three classes, _dies festi_ (festive, for worship), _dies profesti_ (for ordinary business), and _dies intercisi_ (mixed, partly for religion, partly for ordinary affairs). [1008] Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_, iii, 29 (Burma). [1009] J. H. King, _The Supernatural_, Index, s.v. _Luck_. [1010] Many examples are given in Westermarck's _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, chap. xxxvii f.; cf. above, Sec. 204 ff., on fasting. [1011] Howitt, _Native Tribes of South-East Australia_, p. 630 ff. [1012] E. A. Gait, article "Caste" in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_. [1013] Frazer, _Golden Bough_, 2d ed., i, 321. [1014] Taboo thus helps the growth of civil law (especially of penal codes) by its collection of offenses, though only on condition of retiring from the field. Cf. Frazer, _Psyche's Task_, p. 17 ff. [1015] Lev. xiv, 48-53. [1016] Lev. xii. [1017] So in many popular festivals; see Spencer and Gillen, _Native Tribes of Central Australia_; Hopkins, _Religions of India_, p. 453 ff.; Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, chap. xlii. [1018] Examples are given in Crawley's _Mystic Rose_, pp. 223, 480 ff., chap. x ff. [1019] Tylor, _Early History of Mankind_, 3d ed., p. 129 ff.; Hubert and Mauss, in _Annee sociologique_, vii; Frazer, _Early History of the Kingship_, lecture ii, especially p. 52 ff. (he defines taboo as "negative magic," magic, that is, employed to avoid malefic influences); cf. Crawley, _The Mystic Rose_, chap. ix, for the transmission of sex characteristics. [1020] Cf. R. R. Marett, "Is Taboo a Negative Magic?" (reply to Frazer), in _Anthropological Essays presented to E. B. Tylor_. [1021] Cf. Marett, op. cit. [1022] R. Taylor, _New Zealand_, chap. viii; Alexander, _Short History of the Hawaiian People_. [1023] Shortland, _Maori Religion_. [1024] Exod. xxiii, 10 f. [1025] Livy, i, 31. [1026] Codrington, _The Melanesians_, p. 215 ff.; George Brown, _Melanesians and Polynesians_, p. 273 ff. [1027] Seligmann, _The Melanesians of British New Guinea_, Index, s.v. _Taboo_. [1028] H.
