p. 294, n. z.—In this alleged quotation some passages are omitted with-
out indication, while others, not there, are inserted. What is left of the
original is paraphrased throughout Native words have their essential
hyphens omitted and are otherwise misspelt. The passage referred to runs
as follows :—
A bundle oi wild canes (nauwi) is planted. Pigs are paid for-
The wild canes.
A ï¬Ållet made out of a leaf called nzuai-lislis. This is ordinarily used
for tying on the heacbcovering called nakambat (see p. 180). In this case
the ï¬Ållet is worn round the head without head-covering.
A sacriï¬Åcial pig is " circled " for and killed with a spear in honour of
the wild canes.
Ten days later (this really means any day, depending on the readiness
of the pigs) an image of nator 1 wood is erected. It apparently has two
faces on one body. The eyes are painted white, the middle of the body
black, and there is also a good deal of red.
The image is made by the brothers, fathers, etc., of the novice. The
mother’s brother and mother's lather may also assist in the work, if they
like, but are not more important than the others. It is planted in a spot
called 1‘-law (holy place) close to the club~house, and is surrounded by the
rope called nimbm-aw. Bamhoos called nambu Orelemes and shrubs called
nu,-ai rew, and na-en‘-mbrues (eordyline terininalis) are planted on either
side and behind the image. Pigs are paid for the image, the face of the
image, the objects planted.
The sacriï¬Åcial pig is " circled " for while those who are taking the
degree are blackened from head to foot, and all carry ceremonial pig-killers.
No man kills his own pig, but each kills that of one of the others. The pigs
are then cut up and distributed among the guess, those who have killed
not eating.
It is apparently incumbent upon a man, if he possess a large pig, such
as a crescenbtusker (see p. :90) to kill it. If he has not one of this grade,
he must kill the largest he has.—_I. L.
