Partly from notes sent me by my friend the Rev. J. Roscoe, partly from Sir H. Johnston's account ( The Uganda Protectorate , ii. 688). In his printed notes ( Journal of the Anthropological Institute , xxxii. (1902) p. 39) Mr. Roscoe says that the mother-in-law “may be in another room out of sight and speak to him through the wall or open door.”

More evidence of the mutual avoidance of mother-in-law and son-in-law among savages is collected in my Totemism and Exogamy ; see the Index, s. v. “Mother-in-law.” The custom is probably based on a fear of incest between them. To the almost universal rule of savage life that a man must avoid his mother-in-law there is a most remarkable exception among the Wahehe of German East Africa. In that tribe a bridegroom must sleep with his mother-in-law before he may cohabit with her daughter. See Rev. H. Cole, “Notes on the Wagogo of German East Africa,” Journal of the Anthropological Institute , xxxii. (1902) p. 312.
