for it except that he would not allow himself to be 
duped or outraged by them. He allowed me to 
take his portrait (which is here reproduced), and the 
Indians were so delighted with 
the likeness of their chief, that I 
verily believe every one of the 
tribe came to have a look at it. 
[The example of their chief 
rendered others willing to sit 
for their portraits. Caali, the 
youngest son of Callistro ; and 
Anassado, Callistro's grand- 
daughter, a little girl of about six 
years, taken sitting in a hammock, 
also well show the characteristic 
features of Indians at different ages. Two other 
females — Cumantiara, a daughter of Bernardo, 
the headman of Urubu-coara, 
mentioned above, and Param- 
haada, a girl of fifteen, both of 
the same tribe as Callistro — 
are fair examples of the better 
types of young Indian women ; 
but Spruce states that some of 
the younger and prettier ones 
were too shy and frightened to 
allow themselves to be de- 
lineated by the white stranger. 
The above are all Tariana 
Indians, the most extensive 
tribe on the Uaupes, but there are also portraits 
of individuals of three other tribes — the Pira- 
Tapuyas (fish Indians), the Tucanos, and the 
Carapanas.
