The first one brought in was scaleless and flat-headed, of a blackish colour, and was called by the Indians Cumaquema.

After a good deal of persuasion, I managed to induce one manto put his head imder the velvet cloth and look on the focussing-glass.lie was so pleased at seeing me walking aliout upside down when I movedto the front of the camera, that he called all the others in turn to havea look, and waved me ))ack each time I moved out of the picture ; afterthi.s there was always some one anxious to have a peep when I was-taking a pliotograpli.
