dians of the Putumayo, a CHEF tribu-
tary of the upper Amazon. AS de.
scribed by w. E. Hardenburg. the ap-
paratus consists of two logs of hard
wood. with small holes burnt through
leugthwise by heated stones. The thick.
er of the two logs gives out two grave
notes when struck. the thinner two
acute notes. Hanging from roof tim
bers. the logs are beaten with rubber
tipped clubs, and signals are sent by .
code based on the difference OF tone
and the length and number Of blows
In this way messages are exchanged to
