Folk-Tales of Andros Island, Bahamas #227797

Now the chief settlement. In 1852 Nicolls Town was the chief settlement. And the island population was 1032. I met individuals who stated that they had Indian ancestry; but with the exception of two women. Mother and daughter. I saw no physical suggestion of it.

In comparing certain tales in the following collection with tales collected in our Southern States. These facts of migration should be borne in mind.
