Myths and Folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa, Myths and Folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin., sentence 9

It seems hardly worth while at the present time to comment in detail on the transformer concept here, as it is my intention to pursue investigations further in this general area, in which the transformer appears under various titles.

Who acts: It, concept, transformer · What happens: seem, comment, be, pursue, appear · To what, where: detail, investigations, general area, various titles
