{56} Codrington, in Journal Anthrop. Inst. Feb. 1881. There is a Breton
Marchen of a land where people had to 'bring the Dawn' daily with carts
and horses. A boy, whose sole property was a cock, sold it to the people
of this country for a large sum, and now the cock brings the dawn, with a
great saving of trouble and expense. The Marchen is a survival of the
state of mind of the Solomon Islanders.
