. The uncivilized races of men in all countries of the world; being a comprehensive account of their manners and customs, and of their physical, social, mental, moral and religious characteristics. By Rev. J. G. With new designs by Angas, Danby, Wolf, 1871. (1.) AUSTRALIAN WIDOWS AND THEIR CAPS. (See page 777.). (2.) CAVE WITH NATIVE DRAWINGS. (See page 780.) C781) I THEOEY OF TRANSMIGRATION. 783 cerity, refused to eat any of it, continuallygrumbling and complaining of the tum-bling clown him brother. The Nauo tribe preserve a tradition whichinvolves this metempsychosis. Once upona time, a certain great warrior, namedWilloo, fought their tribe, and carried oft allthe women, and killed all the men excepttwo. The survivors climbed up a great tree,followed by Willoo. They, however, brokeoff the branch on which he was climbing,so that he fell to the ground, and was seizedby a dingo below, when he immediately died,and was changed into an eagle hawk, whichhas ever afterward been called by the nameof Willoo. The same tribe think that a small lizardwas the originator of the sexes, and in con-sequence call it by different names; the menusing the term ibirri, and the women up the idea, the men kill everymale lizard that they can find, while thewomen do the same by the females.
