[791] So, apparently, among the Nandi (Hollis, _The Nandi_,
pp. 6, 61).
[792] As among the Australian Arunta (Spencer and Gillen,

_Thompson River Indians_.
[808] On the other hand, the Kurnai, who are not totemic,

[810] In the Banks Islands the restrictions of eating relate
to the patrons of individual persons; see _Journal of the
Royal Anthropological Institute_, xxxix, 165 f.
