The half blade of each leaf is plaited into itself with a single or double plait up to about three-fourths of its length, when the plait is tied.

At end of section add: The thatch of certain Wapishana houses toward the head of the Kuyuwini may be of manicol, but is employed in yet a third way. The half blade of each leaf is plaited into itself with a single or double plait up to about three-fourths of its length, when the plait is tied. The plaiting has, of course, commenced at the base of the leaf. Each plaited leaf is fixed vertically, top and bottom, to the laths on the rafters. Starting from right to left, the unplaited half of one leaf is hidden by the plaited half of the one immediately succeeding it. I saw this form of thatch, illustrated in Figure 23, B, C, at Wappu (mani- col) -Wau (creek) settlement. 324. At end of section add: Also the Astrocaryum murumura Mart., one of the pimpler palms used by the Trio (GOT, 103), Taruma, Waiwai, and others. 328. At end of section add: The Waiwai type of bench is illus- trated in Figure 24. The seat is somewhat concave spindle-shaped, while the supports, wider below than above, are in closer apposi- tion at their fixed than at their free ends which project in front and behind. The supports have a tri- angular opening. The whole is covered with black patterns on a red (annatto) foundation. The ends of the seat above and below (like that of the Waiwai paddle blades) are always painted black, which may be in turn decorated with wavy lines, etc., formed with the finger tip before the black paint has set and through which the red pigment shows. 330. At end of section odd: The Taulipang also appear to have three-legged stools that with little alteration of their natural growths have been cut out of a root or branch fork. (KGR, iii, 79.) 337. Line 3, for (one of the Simarukas?), read: (a species of Aspidosperma, the paddle wood of the Creoles). 340. At end of section add: It should be noted that the holes for the insertion of the chips are reaUy longitudinal incis
