American Indians_, s.v. (and cf. article "Wakonda"); W. Jones, in _Journal of American Folklore_, xviii, 183 ff. On "nagual" see Bancroft, _Native Races of the Pacific States of North America_, iii, 458; Brinton, in _Journal of American Folklore_, viii, 249. [1137] _Journal of American Folklore_, viii, 115. [1138] Cf. M. H. Kingsley, _West African Studies_, p. 132 f. [1139] Roscher, _Lexikon_, i, 2, col. 1616. [1140] Cf. article "Daimon" in Roscher, op. cit. [1141] Spiegel, _Eranische Alterthumskunde_, ii, 91 ff.; Dan. x, 20; xi, 1; xii, 1; Matt. xviii, 10. [1142] Examples are given above, Sec. 255 f.

[1145] Here again a distinction must be made between animals simply sacred and those that are specifically totemic. [1146] Codrington, _The Melanesians_, pp. 248 f., 253 ff. [1147] Lang, _Myth, Ritual, and Religion_, chaps. xii f. [1148] So the Samoan Tangaloa (Tylor, _Primitive Culture_, 3d ed., ii, 344 f.). [1149] St. John, _The Far East_, i, 180.

Grey, _Polynesian Mythology_, p. 1 ff.; Taylor, _New Zealand_, chap. vi; cf., for Polynesia, W. Ellis, _Polynesian Researches_, chap. xiii.
