The four men, whose arms were marked in the above manner, were young and
of the lower order, probably fishermen. It appeared to have been done by
puncturing the skin, and staining it with Indian ink in the manner
practised by our seamen.
The above marks are quite as large as the originals; they were on the
inner part of the fore arm, close up to the elbow joint. Some were
marked on both arms, others only on the right, but we did not observe
any who had them only on the left arm.
