When it is remembered that the The Florida mysteries were believed to have been brought from Ysabel, where nothing of the kind has as yet been observed. This belief, however, serves to point to a connexion with the Dutduk of New Britain, in the name of which a further connexion may probably be found. In all these societies the...
