content: Shamir's original descriptions and negative numbers: Côte d'Ivoire, Yamousoucrou [Yamoussoukro], Dances at the funeral of relative of the President Houphouet Boijny. I was told that the President at that time wished to do away with the costly and enormous funeral cermonies until that time in use. But he decided to do it just once more at the occasion of a  deceased relative of his. This last official traditional funeral took place in the bush, near Yamoussoucrou. No white guests were invited. The only european was a priest to do this cerremony or the end, and myself with some friends, passing by by chance. The dances represent different tribes of the country. ; 547-1
