THE END VIEW OE A COMMUNAL LONG HOUSE NEAR DOREY 



The decoration on the end shows the space for the separate rooms. The corridor through 

 the middle of the house is the common lounging place. One wonders how it is possible to use 

 the bridge ; the poles roll about and there is no hand rail ; still it is done, and even by young- 

 children.
