 APPENDIX.

The following tentative list of folk-tale incidents does not profess to give all the incidents or separate "actions" in the plots of the whole corpus of the European folk-tale. It merely attempts to bring together such incidents as have been commented on by the great masters of the folk-tale—the Grimms, Prof. Köhler, M. Cosquin, etc.—as being common to several of the European folk-tales. Incidents in italics occur in drolls: some few occur likewise in the more serious tales, and are then entered twice. No attempt has been made to include the mediæval stories and legends as, e.g., in Jacques de Vitry's Exempla, or even the more subtle details of the beast-tales: these last have already been named and bibliographised. Complete folk-tales, story-types, radicles, and formulæ, involving a succession and concatenation of incidents, are also excluded. I have given a tentative list in the Handbook of Folk-lore, pp. 117-135.
