It is likewise known from Japan (Chamberlain, pp. 119 ff.) and the North-West coast of America (see F. Boas, Indianische Sagen von der Nord-Pacifischen K\u00fcste Amerikas, Berlin, 1895, pp. 94, 99, 149, 190, 238, 254, 289, and cf. S. T.

Nauru, Hambruch, p. 381.\n18 For still another version see Nieuwenhuis, ii. 113.\n19 Schwaner, i. 177.\n20 A serpent with a precious stone in or on its head frequently appears in Indonesian tales: Celebes (Central), Adriani and Kruijt, p. 158; Sangir Islands, Adriani, 1894, p. 33. It is common also among the Malays of the Peninsula (Malacca, Skeat, 1900, p. 303) and is widely current in India (Crooke, ii. 143). From its distribution it seems clear that the idea was introduced into Indonesia from Indian sources.\n21 Cf. Schwaner, i. 177.\n22 Hupe, p. 138.\n23 Schwaner, loc. cit.\n24 Warneck, p. 28; cf.

Roth, 1896, i. 301).\n143 Chatelin, p. 115.\n145 Evans, p. 478.\n146 Immortality by casting the skin, as in the case of the snake, is a wide-spread conception, and is especially common in Melanesia (see Part II, Chapter I, Note 54). That immortality was offered to man, but that he failed to hear and come and get the gift, is an idea also found in Melanesia (see New Britain, Bley, p. 198).\n147 Chatelin, p. 114.\n149 Beyer, p. 96; Seidenadel, p. 485.\n150 Torres Straits, Haddon, 1904, p. 17; New Guinea (Moresby), Lawes, p. 371; (Kiwai) Chalmers, p. 118.\n151 Beyer, p. 102.\n153 Kruijt, 1894, p. 341.\n154 Furness, p. 8.\n155 Furness, p. 12.\n156 Cf.
