Resembling that figured in Jukes' Voyage of the Fly volume 1 page 277, but smaller.) NATIVE HAIR-DRESSING.
The greatest peculiarity among these people is their mode of dressing the hair; it is usually shaved off the temples and occasionally a little way up the forehead, then combed out at length, and tied midway with a string, leaving one part straight, and the remainder frizzled out into a mop projecting horizontally backwards.

Some also had a long pigtail hanging down behind, in one case decorated with a bunch of dogs' teeth at the end.

Across the forehead they wore fillets of small shells strung together over a broad white band of some leafy substance.

The septum of the nose was perforated, and some wore a long straight nose-stick of bone with black bands.
