Among the facts which sccme,l To initiate

loayo traces behind it. No trace of bone OF either
oxen or sheep had boon found in the whole extent

in wild stale and in modified forms; but other
p!nnts follow ln tho train OF man. The Maoris

Many sa,ages have NOT arrived at tho idea Of
marriage. A sayagos wives areessentially n part
Of his property. In sone cases the tie is of such
nature that 1t affords not even presumption az
! to parentage. Many sYagls recognize kinship
only on tho mothers side. This Is the case With
the South Sea Islanders ge5ierally It was 50 with
tracing up tho idea OF marriage We can account for
Tho two extraordinary customs which NO lnd in
every part OF the world that man is regarded as
no relation to his own children. Only an things
