. Bulletin. Ethnology. Vol. 3] TRIBES OF EASTERN BOLIVIA AND MADEIRA 451 which is an open sunshade. Pacaguara huts are tentlike, with no end walls. The use of cotton hammocks is general among all these groups. Acuna (1891, p. 145) praises the Caripund of the Puriis River for their artisti- cally carved benches in animal form. Chacobo benches are made of palm stalks nailed on tree stumps. i Clothing and adornment.—Chacobo and Caripund men go naked with the penis fastened against the stomach under a cotton belt. A distinctive ornament of the Chacobo is a solid, flat broad collar, made of countless monkey incisors and trimmed with tucan feathers. Chacobo men also wear a feather tuft or reed with feathers through the nasal septum, pieces of bone or wooden sticks in the ear lobes, and wrappings of long bast strips around the arms and legs. Men cut their hair across the fore- head and wrap it with a cotton band into a queue. Chacobo women cover their pubis with a Heliconia leaf attached to a cotton or fiber string; Pacaguara and Caripund women wear a small front flap or apron. Chacobo women bore the nasal septum and ears to insert feather tufts. Their other ornaments are seed necklaces, chonta finger rings, armlets of feathers and shells or wrappings of bark around arms and legs, and, occasionally, one or two feathers glued to their long, loose hair. Transportation.—The Pacaguara travel in bark canoes or in dugouts which may accommodate about eight people. Manufactures.—Industries are the same as those of the neighboring tribes: Twilled baskets, rectangular boxes of Gynerium stalks sewn to- gether, and bags of bark cloth for storage of their Figure 56.—A "Cascara," or bark canoe of the Cariptmd.
