748 TSIMSHIAN MYTHOLOGY [eth. ass. 31 



The Water-Being (?) who Married the Princess (No. 42, p. 272). 

 The Story of Part Summer (No. 43, p. 278). 



It occurs also as an incident in: 



The Story of Asdi-wa'l (No. 35, p. 243). 



Story of GunaxnesEmg'a'd (No. 45, p. 285; Ts 5.294). 



As has been pointed out by Swanton (see p. 874) stories of this 

 type are common in the folk-lore of the Tlingit and Haida. In his 

 collection of Tlingit tales, the following have been recorded: 



The Halibut People Tl 38. 



The Woman Taken Away by the Frog People Tla 53, Ttf> 236 



(Masset version M 554). 

 The Woman who Married the Devilfish Tl 130. 

 The Thunders Tl 175 (Tsimshian versions Ts 161; note to p. 747). 

 The Girl who Married the l !al ! Tl 237. 

 The Woman who Married a Tree Tl 238. 

 The Girl who Married a Fire Spirit Tl 239. 

 The Woman who Married the Dead Man Tl 247 (Masset version 



M 625). 

 The Origin of Copper (the same as the Tsimshian GunaxnesEmg'a'd) 



Tl 252. 

 The Woman Taken by the Grizzly Bears (same as Tsimshian 



GunaxnesEmg'a'd) Tl 126. 



There are also a number of Masset and Kaigani tales of this type: 



Swimming Land-Otter Kai 254 (Tsimshian version Ts 166). 



The Grizzly-Bear Hunter M 508. 



The Woman who Married the Frog M 554 (Tlingit versions Tla 53, 



Tib 236). 

 The Woman who Married a Devilfish M 560; also Kai 260. 

 The Half-Head that Married a Certain Person M 625 (Tlingit 



version Tl 247). 

 The Woman who Married the Grizzly Bear (same as Tsimshian 



GunaxnesEmg'a'd) M 500. 



Among the Skidegate tales I find only a version of the story of 

 GunaxnesEmg'a'd (Sk 336). The idea enters as an element into the 

 Skidegate story of A Slender One Who Was Given Away Sk 151. 

 Farther south, in Rivers Inlet, this type of story is also represented 

 only by a version of the GunaxnesEmg'a'd story (Ri 5.226). 



It would seem, therefore, that these stories are essentially char- 

 acteristic of the Tlingit and Tsimshian, and of those Haida who are 

 influenced by the former.
