They are present, though in a very rude condition, in men of all races, even the most savage; but so different is the taste of the several races, that our music gives no pleasure to savages, and their music is to us in most cases hideous and unmeaning. Dr. 'Journal of Anthropological Society, Oct. 1870, p. clv. By travelling eastwards we find that there is certainly a different language of music.
In the two figures forming plate CLIV are found simple bird symbols and feather designs very much conventionalized. The same is true of the two figures given in plate CLV. The vessels illustrated in plate CLVI, a, b, are decorated with designs of unknown meaning, save that the latter recalls the modification of the feather into long triangular forms.
As for the two previous cases, nos. clv. and clviii., we must here again remark the usual strange reservations and observe how difficult it is to explain these premonitions save by attributing them to our subconsciousness. The main, unavoidable event is not precisely stated; but a subordinate consequence seems to be averted, as though to make us believe in some definite power of free will.

To shrink from every dignity of man, at the approach of a lordly piece of self-consequence, who, amid all his tinsel glitter, and stately hauteur, is but a creature formed as thou art and perhaps not so well formed as thou art came into the world a puling infant as thou didst, and must go out of it as all men must, a naked corse... CLV. To MR. CRAUFORD TAIT, W.S., EDINBURGH.
And if we go further back we find in chapter clv. of the printed editions of the "Gesta Romanorum" an interesting picture of domestic life. The whole family is portrayed gathering round the fire in the winter evenings and beguiling the time by telling stories. Such we are informed was the custom among the higher classes.
Then they knew that the bonga had taken her away and had not given her up. CLV. The Bonga's Victim. Once upon a time there were seven brothers and they had one sister. Every day they used to go out hunting leaving their wives and sister at home. One very hot day they had been hunting since dawn and began to feel very thirsty; so they searched for water but could find none.
Concerning this book Casaubon wrote in his Epistle CLV.: "Know concerning Scioppius that some of his works have been burned not only here at London by the command of our most wise King, but also at Paris by the hand of the hangsman. I have written a letter, which I will send to you, if I am able, against that beast."
At last I am experiencing an entirely new sensation: the approach of old age. The shadow invades me, as Victor Hugo would say. Madame Cornu has spoken to me enthusiastically of a letter you wrote her on a method of teaching. CLV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 17 March, 1870 I won't have it, you are not getting old. Not in the crabbed and MISANTHROPIC sense.
The designs shown in plates CLIII to CLV, inclusive, still preserve the spiral form with attached feathers, some of them being greatly conventionalized or differentiated. These feathers are different from any which I have been able to find attached to the bodies of birds, and are thus identified from morphological rather than from other reasons.
