The tribe both burn and bury the dead, and observe mourning for an

adult for ten days, during which time they daily put out a leaf-cup

containing food for the use of the deceased. In the third year after

deceased, and receives what they call one limb (_ang_), or half his

belongings; the _ang_ consists of a loin-cloth, a brass vessel and

dish, an axe, a scythe and a wrist-ring.
