Tylor's theory about figures [on the Assyrian reliefs in the British Museum as the King fertilising the palm tree] is accepted by orientalists generally; sends the reference to the paper's publication; Tylor explains the object they are holding; answers Frazer's questions about fir trees, and eagle-headed figures.
