In Dahome it is termed Addagwibi, and is performed between the twelfth and twentieth year.  The rough operation is made peculiar by a double cut above and below; the prepuce being treated in the Moslem, not the Jewish fashion (loc. cit.).  Heated sand is applied as a styptic and the patient is dieted with ginger-soup and warm drinks of ginger-water, pork being especially forbidden.  The Fantis of the Gold Coast circumcise in sacred places, e.g., at Accra on a Fetish rock rising from the sea The peoples of Sennaar, Taka, Masawwah and the adjacent regions follow the Abyssinian custom.  The barbarous Bissagos and Fellups of North Western Guinea make cuts on the prepuce without amputating it; while the Baquens and Papels circumcise like Moslems.  The blacks of Loango are all “verpae,” otherwise they would be rejected by the women.  The Bantu or Caffre tribes are circumcised between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, the “Fetish boys,” as we call them, are chalked white and wear only grass belts; they live outside the villages in special houses under an old “medicine-man,” who teaches them not only virile arts but also to rob and fight.  The “man-making” may last five months and ends in fetes and dances:  the patients are washed in the river, they burn down their quarters, take new names, and become adults, donning a kind of straw thimble over the prepuce.  In Madagascar three several cuts are made causing much suffering to the children, and the nearest male relative swallows the prepuce.  The Polynesians circumcise when childhood ends and thus consecrate the fecundating organ to the Deity.  In Tahiti the operation is performed by the priest, and in Tonga only the priest is exempt.  The Maories on the other hand, fasten the prepuce over the glans, and the women of the Marquesas Islands have shown great cruelty to shipwrecked sailors who expose the glans.  Almost all the known Australian tribes circumcise after some fashion:  Bennett supposes the rite to have been borrowed from the Malays, while Gason enumerates the “Kurrawellie wonkauna among the five mutilations of puberty.  Leichhardt found circumcision about the Gulf of Carpentaria and in the river-valleys of the Robinson and Macarthur:  others observed it on the Southern Coast a nd among the savages of Perth, where it is noticed by Salvado.  James Dawson tells us “Circumciduntur pueri,” etc., in Western Victoria.  Brough Smyth, who supposes the object is to limit population (?), describes on the Western Coast and in Central Australia the “Corrobery"-dance and the operation performed with a quartz-flake.  Teichelmann details the rite in Southern Australia where the assistants—­all men, women, and children being driven away—­form a “manner of human altar” upon which the youth is laid for circumcision.  He then receives the normal two names, public and secret, and is initiated into the mysteries proper for men.  The Australians also for Malthusian reasons produce an artificial hypospadias, while the Karens of New Guinea only split
