the stand and adjusting them to the corresponding mark on 
each and clamping, the camera may be raised or lowered at

These few preliminary arrangements will greatly facilitate 
the work of photographing, and save much time, and should 
be made by the photographer and an assistant before 
attempting to photograph the natives. 
The various other sections of the book besides those 
relating to external characters which can be illustrated 
by photography will probably suggest themselves to the 
traveller when he is on the scenes of his operations, but it 
may be useful to mention a few:—Attitudes and Movements, 
Physiognomy, Abnormalities, Deformations, Clothing, Orna¬ 
ments, Tattooing, Habitations, Pottery and its manufacture 
and manner of use, Ornamentation and Design, Archaeology, 
Burial Customs, Games and Amusements.
