bow and an arrow with fork-shaped head are employed (Fig. 13, 

 Nos. 3~3a). A fish poison or stupifier is occasionally used. A small red 

 berry known as baiyatin is crushed, and the powder is thrown into or 

 just above quiet pools, where fish abound. Some of the fish become 

 stupified and float on the surface, where they are quickly speared 

 or scooped up. They are eaten without any ill effects.
