Note. — May I appeal to those who are in a position to give me information, for localities in which the following animals are respected : badger, boar, eagle, glowworm, rabbit, sparrow, squirrel, wasp ; also notes of all fish-taboos. I also wish to know whether the following animals are killed in any of the ways enumerated under sacrifice : cormorant, cross-bill, partridge, peewit, quail, redstart, seal, sea- swallow, wagtail, weevil.

I have prepared a list of questions which I am circulating all over Europe. I shall be pleased to receive notes of superstitions dealt with in the paper, and to send my questions to any one who will collect material. — N. W. T.
