APPENDIX D. 



LlNYANYANBUIE. A caterpillar, which attains a length of 

 two or three inches and is covered with long brown 

 spiky hairs. If the caterpillar be brushed off the arm, 

 neck, etc., some of the hairs penetrate the skin and 

 set up an intolerable itching for several hours. The 

 natives have a most expert, though cruel, method of 

 getting rid of these unwelcome caterpillars. The 

 caterpillar is touched with a hot iron, round which it 

 promptly curls without leaving behind any of its 

 obnoxious hairs. 



KASHATA. Another caterpillar, which, if it gets on the 

 skin, causes considerable pain for hours but no 

 itching.
