Chapter VI., criticism of Dr. Pikler). Mr, McLennan merely
mentioned to me, in conversation, this idea, which he later abandoned. It had previously occurred to Garcilasso de la Vega that the _germ_ of totemism was to be found in the mere desire to differentiate group from group; which is the theory to be urged later, the _names_ being the instruments of differentiation.
Mr. A. K. Keane, as in Mr. McLennan's abandoned conjecture, and as in the theory of Dr. Pikler, makes totemism arise in "heraldic badges," "a mere device for distinguishing one individual from another, one family or clan group from another ... the personal or family name precedes the totem, which grows out of it." (Ethnology, pp. 9, II).
