. Across Africa. Indigenous peoples -- Africa, Central; Plants -- Africa, Central; Africa, Central -- Description and travel. XXIII.] DISTINGUISHING DRESS. 309 an impossibility for them to turn pale, or for their wool to stand on end with fright; but they made the attempt; and there can be no doubt that they hold this great idol in such awe that they dare not breathe the name of Kungwe a Banza without fear and trembling. The people dress like the Waguhha, and tattoo themselves in the same fashion, but wear their hair differently, the majority drawing it back from the face and tying and binding it together behind, so that it projects in a most curious fashion, reminding one much of a saucepan handle. The men wear plumes, frequently made from the red tail- feathers of the gray parrot, varying in size and shape according to rank. They also have aprons made of a single skin, and it is worthy of remark that each clan or family has a distinguish- ing skin, which it is customary to wear in the presence of the chief.
