48 Ordination, as the term is here used, comprehends regimentation as defined by Powell, yet relates especially to the method of reckoning from the constantly recognized but ever varying standpoint of prescriptorial culture.

49 Several of these are summarized in "The emblematic use of the tree in the Dakota group," Science, n.s., vol. IV, 1896, pp. 475-487.

50 Notably "A Study of Siouan Cults," Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology for 1889-0*0 (1894), pp. 351-544.

57 Neither space nor present occasion warrants discussion of the curious aphrodisian cults found among many peoples, usually in the barbaric stage of development; it may be noted merely that this is an aberrant branch from the main stem of institutional growth. The subject is touched briefly in "The beginning of marriage," American Anthropologist, vol. IX, pp. 371-383, Nov., 1896.

58 The History of Human Marriage (London, 1891), especially chapters iv-vi, xiii-xv, xx-xxii.
