} Rowley, Universities' Mission to Central Africa, p. 217: cited by Mr. Tylor. {50b} Quoted in La Table Parlante, a French serial, No. I, p. 6. {51} Colonel A. B. Ellis, in his work on the Yorubas (1894), reports singular motions of a large wooden cylinder. It is used in ordeals. {52} The Natural and Morall History of the East and West Indies, p. 566, London, 1604. {53} February 9, 1872. Quoted by Mr. Tylor, in Primitive Culture, ii. 39, 1873. {57} Revue des Deux Mondes, 1856, tome i. p. 853. {60} Hallucinations, English translation, p. 182, London, 1859. {62} Laws, xi. {63} Records of the Past, iv. 134-136. {65a} The references are to Parthey's edition, Berlin, 1857. {65b} [Greek], 4, 3. {65c} All are, for Porphyry, 'phantasmogenetic agencies'. {66a} Jean Brehal, par P.P. Belon et Balme, Paris, s.a., p. 105. {66b} Proces de Condemnation, i. 75. {67a} Appended to Beaumont's work on Spirits, 1705. {67b} See Mr. Lillie's Modern Mystics, and, better, Mr. Myers, in Proceedings S. P. R., Jan., 1894. {68a} Origen, or whoever wrote the Philosophoumena, gives a recipe for producing a luminous figure on a wall. For moving lights, he suggests attaching lighted tow to a bird, and letting it loose. Maury translates the passages in La Magie, pp. 58-59. Spiritualists, of course, will allege that the world-wide theory of spectral lights is based on fact, and that the hallucinations are not begotten by subjective conditions, but by a genuine 'phantasmogenetic agency'. Two men of science, Baron Schrenk- Notzing, and Dr. Gibotteau, vouch for illusions of light accompanying attempts by _living_ agents to transfer a hallucinatory vision of themselves to persons at a distance (Journal S. P. R., iii. 307; Proceedings, viii. 467). It will be asserted by spiritualists that disembodied agencies produce the same effect in a higher degree. {68b} [Greek]. {69} [Greek]. {70a} Damascius, ap. Photium. {70b} [Greek]. {71} Life of Hugh Macleod (Noble, Inverness). As an example of the growth of myth, see the version of these facts in Fraser's Magazine for 1856.
