[77] Westermarck opines (170) that “such tales are not of much importance, as any usage practised from time immemorial may easily he ascribed to the command of a god.”  On the contrary, such legends are of very great importance, since they show how utterly foreign to the thought of these races was the purpose of “decorating” themselves in these various ways “in order to make themselves attractive to the opposite sex.”

[96] Feathers also serve various other useful purposes to Australians.  An apron of emu feathers distinguishes females who are not yet matrons. (Smyth, I., xl.) Howitt says that in Central Australia messengers sent to avenge a death are painted yellow and wear feathers on their head and in the girdle at the spine. (Mallery, 1888-89, 483.)

[97] Related by Dieffenbach.  Heriot even declares of the northern Indians (352) that “they assert that they find no odor agreeable but that of food.”
