[83: This conception of a second death, or the death of the soul, is found among many races: Hindus, Tartars, Greeks, Kelts, Frenchmen, Scandinavians, Germans, &c.]

[86: It is interesting to note that the Alaska Eskimos seem to believe in a being similar to this tornarssuk of the east coast of Greenland, with long tentacles, &c. See Holm: _Meddelelser om Grönland_, part 10, p. 115, note 1.]
[87: _Tartok_ means properly 'dark.' Among the Eskimos of Southern Alaska, the same word, _taituk_, means 'mist.' In East Greenland _târtek_ means 'black.' (Compare Rink: _Meddelelser om Grönland_, part 11, p. 152.)]
[88: Rink: _Tales and Traditions of the Eskimo_, p. 44. In Scotland a singing in the ears is called 'the dead-bell,' and portends the death of a friend. Hogg: _Mountain Bard_, 3rd ed. p. 31.]
[90: Holm, however, tells us (_Meddelelser om Grönland_, part 10, p. 105), that on the east coast the body is sometimes dragged out through the house-passage by means of a thong looped around the legs. In such cases, I take it, the dread of touching the body must have conquered the dread of taking it out through the passage, for if it is taken through the window it must be lifted and handled. By dragging it with the feet foremost and pointing outwards they probably think to hinder the soul from effecting a re-entrance.]

[98: The Dakota Indians relate that on the way to Wanaratebe there is a wheel which rolls with frightful velocity along the bottom of the abyss below the mountain ridge mentioned on p. 239. To this wheel are bound those who have treated their parents despitefully. See Liebrecht, _Gervasius Otia Imperialia_ (1856), p. 91, note.]
