p. 335, rm. 2_—-As on p. 310, n. 4, no mention is here made of the doubling
of the rite. There is no doubt whatever that the rites attending this degree
include the erection of a monolith, which is essential to all degrees the
taking of which coniers the title of Mhalias. The suggestion that I am
confused between the two grades Naarnel and Naamel Ewen, and that the
stone I ï¬Ågure represents the “ srnall stone " erected at entrance to the
former degree is disproved by the photograph itself, which is of a large
stone 4 feet high. In support, however, oi her suggestion the editor refers,
not to the large stone in question (opt cit., pl. xvi, ï¬Åg. 3], but to a small stone
belonging neither to Naamel Ewen nor to Naamel, but to the yet
lower degree of Wet-ndum (Deacon's Nevet), oi which no mention is here
made and which is unconnected with the matter discussed.
It is further suggested that I am mistaken in mentioning an image
called “ iemes naumel wan [rnisquoted for temes na-amel wzm], which is
set up for this degree in a village other than that of the candidate ", since
Deacon does not record this fact. In the ï¬Årst place, 1')eacon’s account of
this important degree is very short and cannot possibly be supposed to
be complete ; in the second place, an image bearing this name (and it is
not to be supposed that such names are invented by the ethnographer)
could not possibly be erected for any degree but this ; and in the third place,
I em misquoted, my words being: “ This image is usually erected in
another village, but it may be put up in the man’s own village,“ a peculiarity
further discussed op. cit, p. 2o4.—~]. L.
