e Blacks about their fear of ghosts, I never was able to reaUze their ideas on the subject. They admitted the decay of the body; that if the grave were opened the bones would be found there, but that the flesh would have disappeared, and affirmed that, notwithstanding, the deceased sometimes appeared in the body to injure and annoy. They had no fears of the ghosts of men dead, say, forty years before. As somewhat akin to this, I may mention the following circumstance. Having 88 THE AUSTRALIAN BAGE : one day arrived at home from an out-station five-and-thirty miles off, the doctor of the Bangerang asked me whether there were any.
