One had painted his whole form black, and dressed his head and neck with feathers of the same colour, for he was in mourn- ing for some deceased relative or friend. As the hair of this native was worn in the huge mop-like fashion, the feathers sticking out from it increased the size of what was to be seen above the man*s head to a very great extent, Digitized by VjOOQIC 64 NEW GUINEA. and by wearing a flat circular shell on his fore- head, and encircling his neck with a band of cassowary feathe...rs, he had imparted to himself a most extraordinary appearance. The other man had lavishly adorned his head with casso- wary feathers, and wore around his hair a band of white shells, like cowrie shells. His chest was ornamented with boars' tusks, which hung from his neck, and similar ornaments were hang- ing at his back. His face was painted in a manner which gave him a somewhat hideous aspect, and he was liberally tattooed, many of the marks being indicative, it was said, of the number of enemies he had killed.
