Harbour (PARKINSON [1900, 27, PL XIX, fig. 8), whilst the Berlin Muséum possesses the same 

 article from the upper Ramu. N°. 399 of Ajâpo (PL XIII, fig. 7) also is peculiar, small 

 rolls of sweet scented leaves tied by thin bits of string ; I got it from a young m an : — young, 



marriageable men are 

 the vainest individuals in 

 Papuan society. 



Finally at Kwatisoré 

 I collected two sets of 

 bandoliers (N°. 400, PL 

 IX, fig. 4 and N°. 401), 

 according to the inhabi- 

 tants, obtained from the 

 industrious Serui and 

 corresponding entirely 

 with those which De 

 CLERCQ and SCHMELTZ 

 [1893, 38] mention about 

 Goras and Saukorèm. The Rotterdam Muséum also possesses such a set (N°. 4703). The 

 black fibres in thèse bandoliers taken by De CLERCQ for leaf nerves, consist of mycélium 

 (see pag. 16), which is not used for bandoliers further to the east; (see also fig. 206). 



Sometimes used as a bandolier, sometimes as a belt, bands plaited from cord, see 



pattern fig. 43, but fully twenty times broader (in fig. 50 

 it is represented three times the breadth) are characteristic of 

 Papua Talandjang. DE CLERCQ and SCHMELTZ [1893, 39, 

 N°. 192, PL VIII, fig. 16] give a spécimen of Wan- 

 disiau under the name of sjiôso ; the spécimen of the Berlin 

 Muséum (N°. 21 172) is also originally from DE CLERCQ. Of 

 thèse the collection contains only one spécimen N°. 404 (PL 

 XVI, fig. 3) from Kaptiau and fig. 1 14 (the man to the right), 

 shows how it is worn. 



Although the technic according to which this ban- 

 dolier is made and which créâtes longitudinal ribs, is 

 used in K. W. Land for the manufacturing of the wings 

 on a kind of armlet, tsaue (BlRO [1901, 43, fig. 40, j]) and 

 also for thèse armlets themselves (Berlin Muséum, N°. 11396 

 and N°. 17 163), the use of bandoliers made in this way is 

 apparently only limited to a small district. 

 The same thing may be said of the peculiar „harness", as N°. 402 (PL XVI, fig. 2) 

 of Oinâke and N°. 403 (PL XVI, fig. 1) of Kaj6 Entsâu, each consisting of a band which 

 fits horizontally round the body and is held in its place by two shoulder bands. 



De Clercq has described a similar object as „bandolier" (De Clercq and Schmeltz 

 [1893, 39, N°. 202, PL XI, fig. 1]) collected at Masi-Masi, which was said to be worn only 

 at festivals in the temple.
