A SKULL-RACK IN A RAVI AT URAMA, GULF OF PAPUA. 

 The skulls of enemies are preserved and handed down as heirlooms from one 

 generation to another. They are greatly valued, and efforts to procure them for the 

 Museum collection were usually unsuccessful. Some were procured, however, and it 

 is hoped to exhibit them in the gallery arranged as here illustrated. The end of a 

 ravi will be constructed and all the properties, such as dance-masks, carved gopi- 

 boards, bows, arrows, etc., will be brought together in their correct association.
