Ethnological Notes Morris Opler

[_]
Ethnological Note 1
This same episode is also related with an owl as the monster. [See Mescalero text 8]
[_]
Ethnological Note 2
This was true of all the monsters who had the power of killing with their eyes. That was why Child of the Water was not killed by the eyes of the Eagle [see Chiricahua text 1.4] when the latter took him to his nest.
