When this song has been droned for some time, the war- 

 riors get small portions of hair which have been cut from 

 the head of the deceased. Each man takes one of the 

 fragments of hair and plaits opossum fur around it, making 

 a small parcel about the thickness of a pencil, and a few 

 inches iu length, called ' muriir,' and puts it away in a little 

 bag, called 'guraga,' which he uses for storing similar 

 charms. 



At the same time the women are also mustered in the 

 camp, which is within sight of the bambilli, and sit down 

 in a convenient place, singing a ' nyunggoan ' or weeping 

 song, of which " Cliant No. 2 " above is an example. 



After the above ceremonial has been gone through, the 

 people patieutly wait for a suitable opportunity to organize 

 a party to punish the individual who has caused the death
