the case of the land camudi or boa constrictor shown in D, EB, F and 
figure 175 A. Figures 173 C and D, illustrating portions of the same 
pegall, represent a snake about to swallow a frog; a similar combi- 
nation is given by Dance and others (PEN, 1, 126). 
Birds are indicated as flying (fig. 175 B) with wings (w) out- 
stretched from a body equal in size to the head (2). Dance describes 
the pattern as macaws or parrots flying, while De Goeje, in Surinam, 
interprets it as “swallows, bats, or dancers.” According to Pierre 
Barrére (PBA, 138), an identical pattern was met among the Galibi 
of Cayenne (pl. 117 C). Birds are also represented by their three- 
claw tracks (fig. 175 C). The many species of jaguar or “ tiger” (fig.

indicated with varying degrees of complexity (B,C,D), or by the 
stripes (A). Certain of the designs (E, F) show phases in the deco- 
rative devolution from the original motif (D). The same thing can 
be noted with figure 177 A, derived from figure 176 A. The kibihi 
is pictured in a series of spotted bands (fig. 177 B) intended for its 
tail, while monkeys (C, D) and deer (E) are illustrated in their 
entirety. A similar design for deer is figured by De Goeje from 
Surinam. In none of these Pomeroon district designs has a repre- 
sentation of the human form been observed; indeed, no record of it 
has been obtainable throughout the Demerara. On the other hand, 
W. Joest (WJ) gives a Surinam example of an erect human figure
