B. Riley gives an account of the method of preparing the heads of | enemies practiced at the village of Dorro in Papua. After the flesh and brains are removed a piece of rattam cane is fixed to the bottom of the mummified skull to take the place of the lower jaw and to act as a support for the packing of the neck. ~ It was difficult to ascer- tain why the lower jaw is not re- placed. The explanation seems to be that they prefer to hang this up in thé house, and keep it as a mark or token of the owner's prow- ess in war, after the mummified head has decayed; but the lower jaw is sometimes replaced, being thed to the zygomas, as with the rattan cane. Finally, the head is dried, being fixed on a wooden framework over a fire lighted for that purpose, and the hair is pulled out as decomposition of the akin advances.
