  Pomo ceremonies were in general quite simple and the ceremonial life was characterized by an absence (1) of any fixed ceremonial season or sequence of ceremonies, and (2) of any extensive priesthood or secret order controlling ceremonial matters. Some of the ceremonial performances possessed certain esoteric features, such as initiation rites and special restrictions on the part of the uninitiated. We note the presence of a few fairly elaborate ceremonies and a considerable number of dances, some of which were employed as integral parts of certain ceremonies, others as merely incidental to them. These dances usually followed one another without any definite order or relation, though in certain cases definite dances were prescribed as parts of given ceremonies. One ceremony has a definite mythological background, but this has been lost elsewhere. No myths are told today to account for the other performances. In most of the dances an indefinite number of both men and women might participate. In two dances the number of performers of each sex was definitely prescribed. In five, only men might participate, and two were strictly women's dances. In other words, there is patent in Pomo ceremonies a rather thorough going democracy regarding the positions of the sexes.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
Compared to the original, some alterations were made:
Typos
- The word "greal" was changed to
"great" [page 427]. - The word "somewhow" was changed to
"somehow" [page 428]. Price is missing in Volume 6, Edition 2. A question mark was added.
Readability
- All footnotes were moved to the end of the chapter. Because of this repositioning,
Footnote 10 refers to Page 414 with the phrase See below, which, in this version, should be: See above. - Em-dashes were added to empty spots of transliterated text for clarity [page 412]. These are not in the original.
The first part of the List of Publications is originally situated at the beginning of the publication. For readability, this part (Vol. 1-Vol. 6) was joined to the second part of this List. The entire List of Publications can be found at the end of the page.
Consistency
- Inconsistencies in spelling were retained. The em-dash in the Section Heading called Fire Eating [Page 418] was deleted to make it correspond to the Table of Contents (no em-dash there!) [Page 397].
