E. M. Campbell, in which he mentions the grave near Kihikihi, Waikato, wherein " the bodies were buried in a circle, the feet toward the centre." In the same Journal, vol. xii, p. 209, Mr. Percy Smith has a note on the custom of sacrificing slaves at the building of a fort (pa). " In the case of a pa, slaves were often buried in a sitting posture, embracing the base of the main posts of the palisading. Not many years since six skeletons were discovered in such position at the base of the posts ...of a large pa near 0-potiki." We have seen that the spirits of the dead sometimes afflict the living. Such complaints are termed '* mate kikokiko,^^ and are said to frequently result in death. An old man explained to me, " The spirits of dead persons are afflicting such sufferers. These kektui control them. If the afflicted person survives, he will be the medium of that [evil] spirit. Some people become demented when so afPected." Natives say that these spirits of the dead are sometimes seen as a flying luminous object at night.
