Celtic Fairy Tales, XVII. Sea-maiden., sentence 20

The external soul of the Sea-Maiden carried about in an egg, in a trout, in a hoodie, in a hind, is a remarkable instance of a peculiarly savage conception which has been studied by Major Temple, _Wide-awake Stories_, 404-5; by Mr. E. Clodd, in the "Philosophy of Punchkin," in _Folk-Lore Journal_, vol. ii., and by Mr. Frazer in his _Golden Bough_, vol. ii.

Who acts: external soul, Major · What happens: carry, be, study · To what, where: egg, remarkable instance, peculiarly savage conception
