[_]
Ethnological Note 1
This tale, a plain case of diffusion from Mexican sources of Western European folk-lore, is told by the Warm Springs Apache, one of the three Chiricahua bands. Before the United States reservation period was inaugurated the Warm Springs Apache were on friendly terms with nearby Mexican towns and in close contact with them.
