SPRINGS. The Aryan Hindu and t he non-Aryan tribes who occupy Britith India, continue to worship springs and fountains, and other natural objects. This has been a custom with many races. The fountain of Egeria the Fontinalia Romana, the Aqum ferentinm, an'd the sacred wood where the Ferim Latium were celebrated, were under the especial protection of some divinity. Pausanias says that at Phocis in Achaia, there was a fountain called llama, consecrated to Hermes, near which thirty enormous stiaight stones had been erected at a very remote period, when, instead of images, the Greeks adored blocks of stone. Such was also the religion of pagan Ireland.
