the tattooist, especially when 1t is remem-
bered that his tools were of the most primi-
tive order and his knowledge of drawing
most crude. The Instruments used were
two In number, a bone needle sunk into a
handle and a crude mallet. The needle
was first dipped into dye, and then 1t was
hammered through the flesh of the subject
each stroke drawing blood.
The dye mostly used was solution OF
burnt wood. or powdered rosin... The best
dye was obtained from caterpillar, which
burrowed In the vegetable SOIL getting a
spore of fungus between the folds of its
neck. The insects body nourfshed the
fungus, which in turn would vegeetate and
cause the death Of the caterpillar. filling the
interior of the body with its roots. This
material when charred made a fine dye,
but how the Maori native ever discovered
this is a mystery.
1t took months to tattoo a chief or a
person of high rank, and all that time he
must have suffered the. tortures of per-
dition. The accompanying pictures show
the careful elaboration of the artist. Not
a particle of the face Is left untouched by
his needle, and every inch of the scores OF
the fine lines meant blood drawing blow
with the mallet and needle.
While there is some similarity in the
general plan of the designs marked on the
faces. the details are quite different. Hav-

is cut In bell shape, with one seam and
very little fullness at the back. Double

gowns have panels of fancy silk or vel

others are trimmed with a narrow band
of fur, rows of round braid, or an inch
