^{Note 4 page 47} When I sent my copy of Roger, ‘Fables Sénégalaises,’ to Prof, Fortier, he called my attention to an extremely important note in it on the word bunki (p. 58) ‘nom qu'en ouolof on donne à l'hiène. Cet animal figure très-souent dans les fables des nègres. Ils lui font jouer le rôle d'un lourdaud, toujours dupe de lui-Même et des autres, caractère parfaitement approprilé à ses habitudes et à son extérieur.’ Thus the goat in the tales of the negroes of Luisiana was originally a hyena.

^{Note 5 page 67} James Russell Lowell kindly directs my attention to this passage.

^{Note 6 page 69} Kaarle Krohn has kindly informed me that no variants of this adventure have been found in Finland, a fact which strengthens my assumption of its literary origin.

^{Note 7 page 70} I regret very much that this version, edited by Bulgakov under the title ‘Stefanit i Ichnilat,‘ Petersburg, 1877 (or 1878), has not been accessible to me.
