FOUR TYPES OF NATIVES IN CENTRAL AFRICA 



At the top and to the left is a Moyanzi youth with highly raised scars, tribal marks, on 

 the cheeks. To his right is one of the Bakwese, essentially a tribe of warriors. They arc 

 never found without having at least a knife sticking in the bands they wear as ornaments 

 round their arms, and they are always ready to use any weapon at hand. Below, at the left, 

 is a northern Bambala native whose hair-dress differs considerably from that of his southern 

 Bambala neighbor to the right. When freshly arranged the latter looks like a "toque." The 

 southern Bambala let their hair grow to a considerable length, removing only three or five 

 longitudinal lines with the razor. The remaining hair is plaited into ridges, and to give it 

 an appearance of greater length palm fibers are frequently plaited into the ends. Small nails 

 with gilt tops are stuck into the ridges.
