62 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL 
Much interesting ethnological material was brought back by Mr. 
Tjiider. It consists of charms, ornaments, weapons, cooking utensils 
and other articles from several tribes. Long battle spears, ugly arrows 
bearing rows of jagged points and slender clubs with egg-shaped stone 
heads are among the things that show how the tribesmen contend with 
their enemies or attack wild animals. 
The photographs illustrating this brief note were taken by Mr. 
Herbert Lang, the museum taxidermist who accompanied the expedi- 
tion, and are used through the courtesy of Mr. Tyiider.
