[165] ”It is unlikely that a community of savages should deliberately parcel out the realm of nature into provinces, a.s.sign each province to a particular band of magicians, and bid all the bands to work their magic and weave their spells for the common good.” _Totemism and Exogamy_, Vol. IV, p. 57.

[190] ”If it be granted that exogamy existed in practice, on the lines of Mr. Darwin's theory, before the totem beliefs lent to the practice a _sacred_ sanction, our task is relatively easy. The first practical rule would be that of the jealous sire: 'No males to touch the females in my camp,' with expulsion of adolescent sons. _In efflux of time that rule, becoming habitual_, would be, 'No marriages within the local group.'
