FIG. 15. SPEARS USED IN FIGHTING AND HUNTING.

Wild chickens are captured by means of snares (Fig. 16). A tame rooster

is fastened in the jungle and around him is placed a snare, consisting

of running knots attached to a central band. The crowing of this fowl

soon attracts the wild birds which, coming in to fight, are almost sure

to become entangled in one of the nooses. Slip loops, attached to a bent

twig and released by disturbing the bait, are also employed in the

capture of wild fowl.
