HE PRESENT STUDY GROWS out of investigations which led to the publication in 1948 of my article, Religious Folklore of the Poljica Region of Dalmatia.1 For the geographical setting and the ethnological background of the people of the Poljica area, the reader is referred to that study. The data contained in this brief study were collected over a period of years, beginning with the author's visit to Jugoslavia in I938. The material comes not only from the peasants of Poljica, but also from immigrants from Poljica living in St. Louis, Chicago and New York. Friends, relatives and acquaintances in Jugoslavia have served as informants. Portions of the material have been checked by reference to Rev. Frano Ivanisevic's book, Poljica narodni zivot i obicaji (Zagreb, Jugoslavia). Other items have been checked by friends in Jugoslavia. In translating from Croatian to English the author has been at pains to keep as closely as possible to the original tongue
