Among many kinds of bracelets or armlets the most common is a broad woven one of grass, fitting very tightly on the upper arm.

There are others of shell--one solid, formed by grinding down a large shell (Trochus niloticus) so as to obtain a well polished transverse section, and another in two or three pieces tied together, making a round smooth ring; of the former of these five or six are sometimes worn on one arm.

But the most curious bracelet, and by no means an uncommon one, is that made of a human lower jaw with one or more collar bones closing the upper side crossing from one angle to the other.

Whether these are the jaws of former friends or enemies we had no means of ascertaining; no great value appeared to be attached to them; and it was observed, as a curious circumstance, that none of these jaws had the teeth discoloured by the practice of betel chewing.
We procured various sorts of necklaces--strings of shells, black seeds, and dogs' teeth.

As the canine teeth alone are used in making one of the last description, the number of dogs required to complete a single necklace must be considerable.
