592 TSIMSHIAN MYTHOLOGY [bth. ann. 31 



13. In the version 5.197 it is also stated that he met the ancestor of 



a number of other tribal divisions, but no details of these 

 meetings are given. 



A few longer stories are embodied in the Transformer legend, which 

 I do not need to give here in detail. Most of these refer to marriages 

 between the Transformer and the daughter of an ancestor, and will 

 be treated at another place, in connection with the discussion of the 

 Test theme (p. 794). The most important of these stories are the 

 following: 



14. He marries the daughter of Gwa' £ nalalis 5.197; 9.195; 11.196; 



Dawson 21. 



15. His encounter with Qa'mxulal 5.199; K 11.3. 



16. His marriage with the daughter of Dza'wadalalis K 9.455; K 10.94; 



11.229; K. 5.135. [In the last-named passage the story is told 

 of G'l'i, the son of Gwa' £ nalalis. This, however, is probably a 

 mistake, since Q!a'ncqe £ lak u is often called G'l'i.] Nu ap 909. 

 As incidents of the Dza'wadalalis story appear a number of 

 transformations. All of these are supposed to have taken 

 place on Q!a'neqe £ lak"'s journey up Knight Inlet.
