A Further Contribution To The

STUDY OF THE MORTUARY CUSTOMS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS

BY H.C. YARROW.




INTRODUCTORY.

In view of the fact that the present paper will doubtless reach many
readers who may not, in consequence of the limited edition, have seen
the preliminary volume on mortuary customs, it seems expedient to
reproduce in great part the prefatory remarks which served as an
introduction to that work; for the reasons then urged, for the immediate
study of this subject, still exist, and as time flies on become more and
more important.
