V. _Personal Ornaments, Disfigurements, etc._ Are there any special marks made by tattooing or cicatrices to distinguish the various tribes? are they the same in both sexes? Drawings of these marks would be very desirable, distinguishing each tribe. Are the teeth filed or knocked out? If the former, into what shapes are they filed? when is the filing effected? and is it the same for both sexes? Is antimony used for the eyelids? and how is it applied? Are ear-ornaments worn by either sex? are they pendent or inserted in the lobe? Are there any nose or lip ornaments? Is the hair cut into any peculiar shape, or is its colour altered by dyeing? Is any cap or protection worn on the penis, as by the Kafirs and other tribes? Any peculiarities of dress for men and women? any distinction between married and unmarried? What protection is worn in battle? What are the forms of the weapons? and is any missile weapon in use? Is there any mutilation of the sex organs? Are any marks used as distinctions for bravery, success in hunting or rank? VI. _Ivory and Wood Carving._ If elephant ivory is not of native origin, where is it obtained? Are any other materials of the same nature employed in carving, such as walrus-tusk, cachalot teeth, etc.? Are any very hard woods employed; and if so, how are they worked? VII. _Money._ What kinds of money are in use? Do the coins pass by weight as bullion, or have they a recognised value? Are any objects such as iron bars or tools, salt, pieces of cotton, cowries, beads, wampum, etc., employed as a means of exchange? If so employed, is there any recognised way in which their value is certified, or is their value the subject of bargain in each case? ANTHROPOLOGICAL NOTES. _By W. L. H. DUCKWORTH, M.D., SC.D., M.A._ The following notes deal in the briefest possible manner with the more important observations to be made on human bones; and it is conceivable that some such records might be obtained under circumstances precluding the observer from securing or removing the actual specimens, and even in instances where only a very brief period is available for inspecting them. It is convenient to arrange the observations under the following separate headings:— 1. The circumstances attending the death of the individual should be first investigated, and observations concerning the mode and locality of interment should be recorded (cf. Professor Tylor’s Schedule, under ‘Funeral Rites’). 2. The general condition of the specimen next demands attention. This is to some extent dependent upon circumstances referred to in the preceding section. From the texture and preservation of the actual bony substance, a rough estimate may be formed as to the lapse of time since the death of the individual. The occurrence of the skull alone, or at a distance from the remainder of the skeleton, should be noted.
