They Are Even More Diminutive Than
Those Described by stanley.
At a meeting of the Paris telegraph
zeal society "a letter vas read from Nj.
Paul Crampel, the explorer Of the
Ogowe basin. giving an account of the
Bayagas. "a diminutive people who in
habit the great forests extending 10 the
north Of the Ogowe and are probably
nearly related to the Wambuttis de
seribed by Stanley.
The BayaCas live scattered among
the Mfangs. 10 whom their relation Is
one Of semi-servitude. When a Mtang
chief becomes powerful enough he sur
rounds himself with a band of these
'sBohemians' Of the forest. They be
come his hunters and ivory seekers. In
return he supplies them with n
and bananas. Changing their places
of abode every four or five days, the
Bayagas are not able 70 cultivate the
soil.
They are great hunters. The ele-
phant is their principal game, their sol
weapon Of attack being a very sharp
two edged e about . 1-2 feet in
length. Ply sically there is a great
contrast bet cen the Bayagas and the
MfanR. TIE former are dwarfs com
paned with the latter, whose height Is
often IRON 5 feet 9 inches TO 5 feet IL
inches or more. The average height Of
the Bayaaas is 4 feet z inches. They
are stout well propoFtioned and mus
cular. The color of their skin is a yell
lowish brown.
What strikes the observer most at
first sight are the prominence Of the
superciliary arches, the great thickness
of eyebrows, which are continuous, and
the projection Of the cheek bones. The
neck is very short. the head set into
the shoulders, chest broad and well de-
veloped. the arm strong and wrist
stout. the legs crooked. The dominat-
ing characteristic of their p~hysiognomy
is an expression Of fear.
The traveller had not much oppor-
tunity Of studying the women He
noticed. however. the mutilation OF
their ears. the lobe Of which is pierced
by pieces of wood OF ivory, and in this
way is gradually enlarged until il
touches the shoulder. The Bayagas,
although polygamists, do not initiate
their neighbors or masters. among
whom a large number of wives is con.
sidered to be the greatest evidence o.
wealth.
Among the Bayagas there is a pau
city Of married women, owing largely
to the family organization, which tend
