AN ESKIMO IGLOO is suggested by the low tunnel-Iike en- 

 trance to this rounded hut, windowless and doorless. Bundles 

 of reeds beside the entry are of the kind used in the earliest 

 days for the making of canoe-like balsas in which the Que- 

 chuas navigated lakes and streams of the high mountain coun- 

 try. The reeds also are used to make floor mats called petates, 

 for wall coverings and for pallets on which they sleep.
