Australian Children's Games ¹

Abstract

A certain amount of attention has been paid of late years to the subject of the games of primitive peoples, but so far we are only in the preliminary stage of the inquiry; indeed, a vast deal more evidence must be collected before sound generalisations can be made. A few suggestions have been thrown out by various students which must be regarded more as trial hypotheses than as definite conclusions, indeed they should be looked upon rather as “kites.”
