PLATE 12 



1. A view from the island of Taveuni across Somosomo Straits to Vanua Levu. I'lie reed- 

 covered forehilis of this eastern coast of Vanua Levu are due to burning, as normally the 

 windward (southeastern) exposures of the Fijian islands are densely forested. 





2. Children of Ngaloa practice a traditional spear dance, which they intend to present to 

 their ciders on a special occasion. Music is provided by the chanting and clapping of the 

 seated group.
