² *Cultes, Mythes et Religions*, i. 9–29; 41 ff.; ii. 112, 113; iv. p. iii (review of E. Durkheim, *Les formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse*, Paris, 1912). The suggestion of Frazer (*Golden Bough*³, iv. 104 ff.) that the form of Vṛtra may conceal totemism as well as a nature myth may be passed over without comment. Cf. his *Totemism*, iv. 13; Warde Fowler, *Religious Experience of the Roman People*, pp. 25–7; A. van Gennep, *L'état actuel du problème totémique*; Hopkins, JAOS. xxxviii. 154–69. For Germany cf. R. M. Meyer, *Altgerm. Rel.*, p. 486; Helm, *Altgerm. Rel.* i. 157–63; for the Celts, S. Czarnowski, *Le culte des héros et ses conditions sociales* (1919), pp. 331 ff.
