of the Baganga River, still a large stream with falls and cataraots. The 
clearing of this village faces east end is very steep. She women and

There is no lying, stealing or immorality among them.

imen taken from last camp). Forests a little less heavy.

Travelled 3 hours before reaching a spot where one could see any¬

No kinds identified. Birds very scarce throughout this mountain region. 
Must always watch one’s feet. I strive to keep up. Notime for observa¬

Nhen a young man wants a wife he pays hemp doth, or five slave nan 
(if he wants to marry in the upper 400). If two men each have a sister, 
and one asks to exchange sisters for wives, the one who asks is expeoted 
to give an extra woman in the bargain. They can have as many as 5 wives.
