You are now within the borders of Macoushia, inhabited by a different tribe of people called Macoushi Indians, uncommonly dexterous in the use of the blow-pipe and famous for their skill in preparing the deadly vegetable- poison commonly called wourali. It is from this country that those beautiful paroquets named kessi-kessi are procured.
In the daytime it retires amongst the darkest rocks, and only comes out to feed a little before sunrise and at sunset: he is of a gloomy disposition and, like the houtou, never associates with the other birds of the forest. The Indians in the just-mentioned settlement seemed to depend more on the wourali poison for killing their game than upon anything else.
