The Thanda Pulayans, on the west coast of India, think that the phosphorescence on the surface of the sea indicates the presence of the spirits of their ancestors, who are fishing in the backwaters. See E. Thurston, _Ethnographic Notes in Southern India_, p. 293. Similarly the Sulkas of New Britain fancy that the mysterious glow comes from souls bathing in the water. See P. Rascher, “Die Sulka,” _Archiv für Anthropologie_, xxix. (1904) p. 216.
For a list of these tales, with references to the authorities, see my note on Pausanias, ix. 26. 7. To the examples there referred to add I. V. Zingerle, _Kinder- und Hausmärchen aus Tirol_, Nos. 8, 21, 35, pp. 35 _sqq._, 100 _sqq._, 178 _sqq._; G. F. Abbott, _Macedonian Folk-lore_, pp. 270 _sqq._ This type of story has been elaborately investigated by Mr. E. S. Hartland (_The Legend of Perseus_, London, 1894-1896), but he has not discussed the custom of the sacred marriage, on which the story seems to be founded.
