Excerpt from Totemism and Exogamy, Vol. 2 of 4: A Treatise on Certain Early Forms, of Superstition and Society
In each island there were a number of totem clans, all the members of each clan having the same totem or totems. Most of these clans had more than one totem, but one Principal totem was more important than the others and might be called the chief totem, while the rest were subsidiary. In some cases two or more clans might have the same chief totem while their subsidiary totems differed. For example.
