For mentions of the wolf of darkness, see Hanusch, p. 192; Edda, ‘Gylfaginning,’ 12; Grimm, ‘D. M.’ pp. 224, 668. With the episode of the stones substituted compare the myth of Zeus and Kronos.

In comparing the group of Maui-legends it is to be observed that New Zealand Mahuika and Maui-Tikitiki correspond to Tongan Mafuike and Kijikiji, Samoan Mafuie and Tiitii.
