Text for the figures on the tables I—IV. Preface. The paper here presented is to be regarded as the first part of a larger such which I originally thought to entitle: “The Frog-Motive in the Art and Imaginative World of the South American Indian.” The idea was, if possible, to place the appearance of the frog-motive in the ornamental art within a certain territory or culture in relation to the roll of the frog-motive in the Indian traditions and imaginative world of the corresponding territory or culture. For different reasons I have, however, found it better to divide the work in two parts; one descriptive, treating the appearance of the frog-motive in South American Indian ornamental art and one, in which I grouped accessible information about the frog in Indian mythology in order to discover its function in this. An absolute congruity between both lines of the investi gation naturally cannot come into question, partly because of the simple fact that I here treat the frog-motive as it appears on archeological material and then often within territories, about the earlier inhabitants of which not the smallest tradition or even knowledge of the language is preserved. A great deal of the material to this paper has been supplied by the collections in Gothenburg’s museum, especially the archeological from the territory of Santarem where the frog-motive frequently appears, a fact which to some degree has given the impulse to this study. The fact is that I 1930 started my investigation of the roll of the frog-motive on the basis of the Santarem ceramics, commissioned thereto by the late intendant of this museum, Baron Erland Nordenskiöld. In this connection I should like to express my gratitude towards the deceased, that he always graciously placed his excellent library at my disposal and for the warm interest he has always bestowed on *ny investigation.
