Explanation of Plate XXX. 



Fig. 1.^ — Girls carrying loads on their heads, Koror, Palaii. The left girl 

 carries on her head a vessel made of two pieces of the bark of the 

 betel-nnt tree (?). She also carries a vessel made of the same material 

 under her arm. The girl on the right has a basket of plaited leaves 

 on her head. This custom of carrying things on the head prevails 

 extensively among the natives.

 but was moved during German rule to the site opposite the 

 governor's office, Avhere it now stands. It, however, retains its old 

 appearance and is carved extensively both in and outside.
