the story of Giufa planting the ears and tails of the swine in the
marsh: Ortoli, p. 208; _Melusine_, p. 474; and _Romania_, VII. p. 556,
where copious references to parallels from all of Europe may be found.
In the story in Ortoli, cited above, the priest's mother is killed, as
in text.

There is another story in Pitre (No. 200) which is also attributed to

CVI. PETER FULLONE AND THE EGG.

Once upon a time Peter Fullone, the stone-cutter, was working at the
