Scientific paper

IN connexion with Miss Violet Alford's lecture on ritual dances, reported in NATURE of December 4, it would be interesting to know whether anthropologists familiar with ritual dances among tribes of the southern hemisphere, for example, the Australians, have noted in these the practice of dancing `sun circles' in the reverse direction, which we should call `widdershins.' As the apparent path of the sun. in the southern hemisphere runs in the contrary direction to its path in our hemisphere, that is, from east through north to west, sun circles should surely be danced in this direction also.
