  and 
  so

  The 
  statement 
  concerning 
  (lie 
  poison 
  was 
  rather 
  vague 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  

   not 
  been 
  possible 
  to 
  procure 
  the 
  plants 
  for 
  identification. 
  The 
  poison 
  

   was 
  made 
  from 
  the 
  root 
  of 
  a 
  vine 
  of 
  which 
  there 
  are 
  four 
  varieties. 
  

   These 
  were 
  described 
  as 
  follows: 
  ''One 
  grows 
  on 
  the 
  ground, 
  one 
  runs 
  

   on 
  trees 
  and 
  has 
  red 
  leaves, 
  the 
  third 
  has 
  but 
  few 
  leaves, 
  and 
  the

  fourth 
  has 
  many 
  rootlets 
  clinging 
  to 
  the 
  bark 
  of 
  the 
  tree. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  

   root 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  variety 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  poison 
  was 
  made." 
  To 
  this 
  

   root 
  was 
  added 
  the 
  decaying 
  flesh 
  of 
  the 
  lizard 
  and 
  "a 
  bug 
  that 
  swims 
  

   on 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  water." 
  These 
  were 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  ingredients 
  of 
  

   the 
  poison 
  kept 
  in 
  the 
  left 
  arm 
  of 
  the 
  figure. 
  It 
  was 
  explained 
  : 
  "The 
  

   left 
  is 
  always 
  first 
  ; 
  we 
  begin 
  to 
  paint 
  ourselves 
  on 
  the 
  left 
  and 
  fol- 
  

   low
