The author gives a systematical account of the Maricopa and related tribes. The information on the subjects which are of special interest from the psychoanalytical point of view is scanty. Fear of retribution seems to be one of the reasons of the considerate behavior towards children (p. 321). Dream and spirit were called by a single word cámág, i.e., dream (p. 237). This agrees with what I found among the Yuma (next kin of the Maricopa), and also in Central Australia. An observation on sexual life which seems peculiar to the author, also tallies with the reviewer's field experience, and seems to be rather frequent among primitives. "The youth did not court the girl. Instead he crept to her bed at night and lay beside it, but he refrained from touching her" (p. 220). A native woman attributes the formation of her character—being "mean"—to the trauma of exposure she underwent when a few days old (p. 321).
