 narium laur inum; in Tumleo (ERDWEG [1902, 365]) a mixture of soot and the scrapings 

 of the inside of a soaked bark; more to the eastward (HAGEN [1899, 218]) such a resinous 

 bark unmixed, or (KRIEGER [1899, 5o])resin out oî'Çalophyllum inopliyllum is used.

 At both ends the side-boards are usually connected by a handsome plaited work of nàclie. 

 which can be recognised in fig. 129. 



The outrigger, in the territory hère referred to, is ahvays carried on the starboard

 fig. 130). The longitudinal float, tsâm, considerably shorter than the boat itself and at both 

 ends pointing upwards, is fastened to each of the ivariat in a practical manner by means of 

 two sets of oblique pins. -
