Probably not over 200 are captured, however, during a year. The ling-an', a spring snare, is the most used for catching birds. I saw one of them catch four shrikes, called ta'-la, in a single afternoon, and a fifth one was caught early the next morning. Pl. XLVII shows the ling-an' as it is set, and also shows ta'-la as he is caught.
AVICULA LATA, pl. 6. f. 1. Shell dark brown; half ovate; broad obliquely truncated, and scarcely notched behind; covered with close regular very thin denticulated concentric lamina, forming a paler external coat. The front ear rather produced, with a distant inferior notch; internally pearly, with a broad brown margin on the lower-edge. Inhab. North and West coasts of Australia.
But their tatu involves, not an intelligent elaboration of the models, but a simplification and degradation, or at best an elaboration without significance. Figs. 1 6, Pl. 137, are examples of the Sea Dayaks TUANG ASU or dog design. The figures show the dog design run mad, and it is idle to attempt to interpret them, since in every case the artists have given their individual fancies free play.
Over these streams, or rather sheets of sluggish water, the Igorot have built 152 salt houses, usually about 12 feet wide and from 12 to 25 feet long. The houses, well shown in Pl. CXV, are simply grass-covered roofs extending to the earth.
The natives also were averse to eating it, and only one man acknowledged to have seen it before. Caught by seine, by Corporal Emms of the 51st regiment, 7th April, 1841. No. 48. AULOPUS PURPURISSATUS. Richardson, Icones Piscium, p. 6, pl. 2, f. 3. Native name, KARDAR. "Rays, D. 19; A. 14; V. 9; P. 10." Very rare. Caught by hook, on a rocky shore, by Mr. Sholl of Albany, 14th July, 1841.
The unmistakable dog-patterns are illustrated by one of the panels shown in Pl. 124; and in Pls. 134 ET SEQ. we reproduce a number of dog-patterns of more or less conventionalised characters. It will be noticed that the eye is the most constant feature about which the rest of the pattern is commonly centred; but that the eye also disappears from some of the most conventionalised.
Alcis, dat. pl. Perhaps from the Slavonic word holcy==kouros, Greek for Castor and Pollux. Referable to no German root. Peregrinae, sc. Greek or Roman. Tamen. Though these gods bear no visible trace of Greek or Roman origin, yet they are worshipped as brothers, as youth, like the Greek and Roman Twins. Superstitionis==religionis. Cf. notes, His. 3, 58; 5, 13. Lenocinantur. Cherish, increase.
Between 200 and 300 pounds of those fish, only one in a hundred of which exceeded 2 1/2 inches in length, were taken from the river during the three hours in the afternoon when the ceremonial fishing was in progress. Two large scoops, one shown in Pl. XLIX, were used to catch the fish. They were a quarter of a mile apart in the river, and were operated independently.
The allied fleet was thus exposed to be doubled on at two points, both van and centre; and both points were attacked. Pl. VIa. This brought about a mêlée at the head of the lines, in which the Dutch, being inferior, suffered heavily.
Lit., 'places, here used as a synonym for 'heavens, as an Assyrian commentator expressly states. I.e., Ea. See above, p. 424, note 3. The complete proof is brought by Jensen, Kosmologie, pp. 246-253. Kosmologie, p. 199. Magie und Wahrsagekunst der Chaldaer, p. 163. See the illustration in Jensen's Kosmologie, pl. 3. The word used also means "cities."
