I am told there Is a certain caste, or rank, in the families so subdivided. Some branches are much more aristocratic than others, and woman who marries beneath her is considered a disgrace to her family. She is more despised than an English duchess who marries shopkeep- CT, and her relatives will not chip in for as costly a burial as though she had married in her own class. A daughter of one of the Brown Bear divisions would be disgraced by marriage with son of the Mouse or the Snail, and the Crows and Eagles at the top of the genealogi- cal tree can only marry one another.

Cremation is common in Japan. It was for years common in Alaska. Many of these Indians burned their dead, and they had hollow poles in which they deposited the ashes.
