1208 KTHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [eth.ann.s8 



91 leaders sang the four songs of | ALotEmdalag'ils; and when the last 

 song was at an end, | X'lmsElilEla spoke, and said, "Now we | have 

 finished, friends. Now our great friend | AL5tEnidalag'lls will be 

 caused to dance by his tribe to-morrow night!" Thus he said. || 



95 "Now I shall tell our great friend that you have been visited by 

 those I who wish for magic power, and who wish for different 

 dances; and this |.our great Hamase^na goes to him who wishes for 

 a I cannibal-song without whistles. His song is about the canni- 

 600 bal, I and his head-mask is GtElogudzEwes, Hox"hogudzEwes, || and 

 Gwa^wayela^na; these three are lent by our friend Hamase^na ) to 

 our friend as head-masks for the hamdzEdzo^ | (this is called by the 

 Kwag'ul hamshamtslEs). And he has four | songs. The frog war- 

 dance comes from our | friend Wuqagas, for when those who belong 

 5 to you go II to the house of our friend Wuqagas, she gives birth at 

 once I to four frogs, which go into the stomach of the woman, or 

 even of a | man who has disappeared and gone to the house of the 

 frog war-dancer. And at once whistles sound | in the stomach of 

 the frog war-dancer (this is ca;Iled by the Kwag'ul bad-inside- | war- 



10 dance). And this our friend Qlaminagas, if she ||is visited by a 

 woman, or even by a man, who is loved', when they disappear, | 

 then Q laminagas knows that they will be q laminagas dancers. | 

 She calls them into her house, and gives them instructions | what
