usual sense) of every race. It may be urged then that the Committee should include in the range of its labours the leading god-and-hero tales of mankind. As soon, however, as "märchen," as found existing at the present day among the people, are fairly abstracted and classified, it will be a comparatively easy task to index the mythologies upon the same plan. In the meantime the Committee must, unless it receives much more working support than there is reason to look forward to, confine itself to the strict terms of its reference.
