6 The first portion of this myth, i.e. the incident of the lost fish-hook and its recovery, is in one form or other widely spread in Indonesia, outside the Kei Islands occurring also in Halmahera, Soemba, Celebes, and Sumatra. It is likewise known from Japan (Chamberlain, pp. 119 ff.) and the North-West coast of America (see F. Boas, Indianische Sagen von der Nord-Pacifischen Küste Amerikas, Berlin, 1895, pp. 94, 99, 149, 190, 238, 254, 289, and cf. S. T. Rand, Legends of the Micmacs, New York, 1894, p. 87).

20 A serpent with a precious stone in or on its head frequently appears in Indonesian tales: Celebes (Central), Adriani and Kruijt, p. 158; Sangir Islands, Adriani, 1894, p. 33. It is common also among the Malays of the Peninsula (Malacca, Skeat, 1900, p. 303) and is widely current in India (Crooke, ii. 143). From its distribution it seems clear that the idea was introduced into Indonesia from Indian sources.

146 Immortality by casting the skin, as in the case of the snake, is a wide-spread conception, and is especially common in Melanesia (see Part II, Chapter I, Note 54). That immortality was offered to man, but that he failed to hear and come and get the gift, is an idea also found in Melanesia (see New Britain, Bley, p. 198).
