Two 8 kin fish tjhich had been dried for U days in the sun after removal 

 of the head, viscera, and bones were eaten for supper on the fifth day. 



The 31 cases in Example 2 all used fish from the same catch. According 

 to the fiahemen, many fish of this species were mixed in with the day's catch. 

 The fishermen, knowing this species to be poisonous separated them from the 

 catoh and instead of sending them to market, brought several home for use and 

 distributed a share to the village. Those that ate the fish out of curiosity 

 and daring suffered the described effects. Several reoidanto of the same 

 village who had received the fish escaped harm because they heeded the warn- 

 ings of old men and thre^ away the fish.
