The ceremony may he performed by members of the Family, but often a Taoist priest is called in to officinte. Such offeringe are not made for the spirit of n boy dying before his marriage, 'and never for an unmarried giri. Hence the rigid insistence in the old days, and even now in remote districte that if a girl dies after being en- gaged but before marriage, and the boy concerned is again engaged, be- fore the actual marriage to the second partner is consummated the red chair must be sent to the home of the original fiancée and spirit wedding ceremony performed. Thus the deceased girl's wandering Boul is given a home among her intend- ed husband's ancestral group and shares in the general sacrifices to that group. Otherwise her soul, unclaimed and unprovided for, will haunt the boy's family and bring thern luck.

Closely connected is the ceremony of calling the soul to the grave, when a frog or an empty coffin is buried in place of the body of sound member of the family lost at sea, or buried elsewhere, The priest solemnly calls the wander- ing soul to ita resting place, the sacrifices are then offered and the gravestone set up. The whole sys toni brings vividly to mind parts of the Aeneid, and offers many in- teresting points of comparison with ancient Roman beliefs.

TOUR OF INTERIOR

A party from Kachek have just returned from a three weeks' tour in the Loi country, in the interior of the island. They report various items of general interest. A head- mat of one village was asking the pastor what to do in a case con- a Hainanese trade. This cerning trader had sold to a certhin Loi

During the sudden and unexpected heavy rains the river rose rapidly and swept away all the man's pigs. The trader came back, demanded the sum of 840, or said he would take the man's buffalo. So they. promised to pay the $40-an erpen- sive rate for eight foot of cloth worth at most m dollar! The mem bers of the party had difficulty in securing carriers for their loads, and in several instances only the present of a shirt or coat plus the regular price was sufficient induce- ment. Lia-mui market (Gate of the Mountain),, in Dengang dis trict, almost dus west of Kachek according to the maps, is, the dis tributing point for the forest pro ducts brought out to the eastern side of the island. Loi carriers come from Foang ziang, four days' journey to the south-west, with loket No. 10-won by Thomas loads of rattan, eta, and return
