cycle, see Bolte-Polivka, 2 : 516-527 (on Grimm, No. 113) ; for
American versions of the tasks and magic flight, MAFLS 13 : 54 n2;
and for American Indian versions of this cycle as a whole. Thompson,
370-381. In only four of the twenty Indian stories analyzed, however,
does the incident of the forgetting of his fiancee by the hero occur.

The first part of the "Forgotten Betrothed" cycle is found in an
Araucano story (Sauniere, No. 9), in which the hero takes service
with a supernatural being, falls in love with his daughter, performs
two difficult tasks and answers three questions, and flees with her
in a transformation-flight that ends with the death of the pursuer.

In a Negro story from Bahamas (MAFLS 13 : No. 27) are found the tasks,
magic-flight, and forgotten-betrothed elements.

Our story is closely related to Grimm, No. 82 a (see Bolte-Polivka,
2 : 190-196, for text), a story derived from Musaeus. Grimm, No. 197
(Bolte-Polivka, 3 : 424-443), is also related. Thompson (410) cites
a Micmac version that agrees with ours in its main outlines,--a
version which he believes goes back to a French original. A very
brief Kutenai version is given in Boas, "Kutenai Tales" (Bulletin 59,
Bureau of American Ethnology), p. 34.

Page 196. The following American Indian variants of motifs found in
our stories are analyzed by Thompson (419-426):--

Fatal imitation (G1): Maliseet (wife), Ojibwa, Dakota, Zuni.

Substitute for execution (H): Maliseet, Ojibwa, Wyandot, Thompson

Frightening robbers under tree (F5): Micmac, Maliseet, Wyandot, Ojibwa
(for Ojibwa see also Laidlaw, 196).

For a Negro (Bahamas) variant of G1, see MAFLS 13, No. 41; of F5,
ibid., No. 46. In a Oaxaca story, "Los Dos Compadres" (Radin-Espinosa,
198-199, No. 101), one compadre frightens a band of robbers unwittingly
and acquires treasure (sale-of-ashes incident). Then follows the
incident of the borrowed measure returned with coins adhering,
whereupon the rich compadre tries to "sell ashes," and is killed by
the robbers. For bibliography of the moti
