Consequently, the Aryan nations will find the types of the condition of their ancestors when in savagery in that of the Australians and Polynesians." KURNAI SOCIETY AND PRIMITIVE SOCIETY. 363 Housefather, with complete power of life and death as regarded the members of his family. The wandering ghost of the ancestor, instead of visiting his descendant in dreams, and teaching him forms of incantation to guard the Mungan and his family from the evil machinations of sorcerers within and without the tribe, or against the malignant Brewin, might become the house-spirit,.
