gold ring into the child's bowl, for which the fathe: (the dwarf), in order to prove his gratitude, in vited Eigil into his mountain-cave, where he curec his wound (' Eig. Saga,' page 46). In the vicinity o Odin's castle (which in the Saga of Hedin and Hogn^ is transferred to Asia), there lived some men skillec in the art of fabricating all sorts of things. 'Sucl men are called dwarfs.' ' They dwelt in caverns, bu Oh. VI.] DWARFS, GIANTS, GOBLINS, ETC. 211 at that time they had more intercourse... with "men" than now.' I must remark in passing, that all rude nations apply the designation 'men' to themselves only, all others being differently designated. To the Green- landers, Greenlanders alone, and to the Samoyedes, Samoyedes alone are men. When, therefore, in any Saga, dwarfs and Jotnar (giants) are mentioned in contradistinction to men, it proves only that they did not belong to the same race as those who narrated the Saga. So it is in Didrik of Bern's Saga (chap. XX.), etc. In Sturleson's 'Ynglinga Saga,' it is said: 'In Sweden (Suithiod) there exist several nations, and sundry languages ; there are giants and there arc dicarfs.' We cannot doubt that by dwarfs is here meant a certain race of people.
