dwell Sin a few struggling hovels of the

higher than an English pigsty, and
caves so low that nan cannot enter
them except on all.fours. 1r shape they

like European hay-stacks and others
like our old straw bee.hives. The com
mon hut is q circle from twelve to
twenty-five feet IN diameter; those be
longing to the chiefs are sometimes of
considerable size, and the first part Of
the erection is cylindrical framework
composed Of all stakes, or the rough
trunks Of young trees, interviewer with
parall ! and corcentric rings of flexible
twigs and witnes, which are coated in
side and outside with puddle Of red or
grey clay. 49,

projections, forming narlo. yaranaa,
edged with horizontal bars which rest
upon forked uprigilts. Over the sticks,
interviewer with tie frame, thick grass
or palm fronds are thrown, and the
whole is covered with coat o. tnatan,
tied on with strips ot tree bark. During
the first few minutes Of heavy rain, this
roofing shrunk by the parching suns
admits water enough TO patch the II
