Ant. V, 1876.
156 DEATE GBBBMONIES.
with upright stones, eacli of which had a bullock's tail tied to it. He was told that it is the custom to tie a bullock by the tail to the stone, kill it, and then, leaving the tail on the stone, take away the carcase to be eaten.
The tail, representing the animal, is left to appease the ghost of the deceased, who thinks that he has got the whole animal. Much in the same way, a lizard, when pursued by a scorpion, sheds its tail, which the scorpion proceeds to... sting, while the lizard hurries away to make a new one.
Among the Koragas of South Oanara, a handful of earth is removed from the grave on the sixteenth day after burial, and buried in a pit. A stone is erected over it, on which some rice and toddy are placed as a last offering to the departed soul, which is then asked to join its ancestors.* When a death occurs among the Sholagas of the Ooimbatore hills, the corpse is buried.
On their return from the funeral, those who have been present salute a lighted lamp.
