2 J. G. Müller, Geschichte der Amerikanischen Urreligionen (Bale, 1867), pp. 120 sq. The evidence could easily be multiplied.

2 Bernardino de Nino, Etnografia Chiriguana (La Paz, Bolivia, 1912), pp. 131-133. I have cited this story in Folk-lore in the Old Testament, i. 272 sq.

1 André Thevet, La Cosmographie Universelle (Paris, 1575), ii. 913 [947] sq., 915 [949]. The pages are wrongly numbered in this part of the book. I have added the correct numbers in square brackets. The passage is reprinted by A. Métraux in his book, La Religion des Tupinamba (Paris, 1928), p. 230, from which (p. 48) I gather that the beast referred to by Thevet is the sloth.

1 Curt Nimuendajü, “Bruchstücke aus Religion und Überlieferung der Šipáia-Indianer,” Anthropos, xiv.-xv. (1919–1920) p. 1015. Compare A. Métraux, La Religion des Tupinamba, pp. 48 sq., from which I gather that a Gaviao de Anta is a species of vulture.

2 K. von den Steinen, Unter den Naturvölkern Zentral-Brasiliens (Berlin, 1894), P. 377. The German name of Canis vetulus is Kampfuchs. The author refers to Brehm, Säugetiere, ii. 57, “fängt Krebbse und Krabben.”
