Footnote 248:
Variae nationes, inter quas Americæ aborigines sunt, sanguinem
menstrualem sacrissimum atque in eo boni malique vim esse putant, quia
non solum modo omnis sanguinis vita ipsa sit, sed vitae humanae
germina vel ova quibus species hominum transmittuntur in se contineat.
Quod quam verum sit quantamque vim ad foedieris liminis notionem
principalem intellegendam habeat infra videtur.
For illustrations of this truth see H. Ploss’s _Das Weib in der Natur.
und Völkerkunde_ (2d ed.), I., chap. 39; Strack’s _Der Blutaberglaube_
(4th ed.), pp. 14–18; Spivak’s _Menstruation_, pp. 6–12; and Frazer’s

Fathers, medieval writers, and down to writers of this century.
“Apud populum Novæ Zelandæ creditur sanguinem utero sub tempus
menstruale effusum continere germina hominis; et secundum præcepta
veteris superstitionis panniculus sanguine menstruali imbutus
habebatur sacer (_tapu_), haud aliter quam si formam humanam
accepisset. Mulierum autem mos est hos panniculos intra juncos
parietum abdere: et hâc de causâ paries est domûs pars adeo sacra ut
nemo illi innixus sedere audeat. Opinio animis N. Zelandorum
insita–nempe sanguinem menstruum germina humanæ speciei
continere–opinionibus hodiernis convenit: multi enim physiologiæ
scientissimi credunt rumpi vesiculam gräafianam, et ex illâ ova delabi
circa tempora menstrualia.”–Shortland’s _Traditions and Superstitions
of the New Zealanders_, p. 292.
