[387] Numerous instances could be given. Thus Livingstone ('Travels,' p.
217) states that the King of the Barotse, an inland tribe which never had
any communication with white men, was extremely fond of taming animals, and
every young antelope was brought to him. Mr. Galton informs me that the
Damaras are likewise fond of keeping pets. The Indians of South America
follow the same habit. Capt. Wilkes states that the Polynesians of the
Samoan Islands tamed pigeons; and the New Zealanders, as Mr. Mantell
informs me, kept various kinds of birds.
