Of mankind, some, in Kaitish opinion, were evolved; of others Atnatu is the father.

He expelled men to earth from his heaven for neglect of his ceremonies, but he provided them with weapons and all that they possess.

He is not TROS FERRO SUR LA MORALE: he has made no MORAL laws, but his ritual laws, as to circumcision and the whirling of the bull-roarer, must be observed as strictly as the ritual laws of Byamee of the Euahlayi.

In this sense of obedience due to a heavenly father who begat men, or some of them, punished them, and started them on their terrene career, laying down ceremonial rules, we have certainly 'the germs of religion' in a central tribe cognate to the Arunta.
Mr.Frazer detects only two traces of religion in the centre, omitting the Kaitish Atnatu, ['The Beginnings of Religion and Totemism among the Australian Aborigines,' FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW, September 1905, p.

452, Note 1.] but I am unable to see how the religious aspect of Atnatu, non-moral as it is, can be overlooked.
