4 i6 NOTES OF A BOTANIST CHAP, xxv enouo-h water is added to render it o drinkable. Thus prepared, its colour is brownish-green, and its taste bitter and disagreeable. The Use and Effects of Caapi In November 1852 I was present, by special invitation, at a Dabocuri or Feast of Gifts, held in a malloca or village- house called Urubu-coara (Turkey-buzzard's nest), above the first falls of the ; Uaupes the village of Panure, where I was then residing, being at the base of the same falls, and about four miles away from Urubu-coara, following the course of the river, which during that space is a continuous succession of rapids and cataracts among rocky islands. We reached the malloca at nightfall, just as the botutos or sacred trumpets began to boom lugubriously within the margin of the forest skirting the wide space kept open and clear of weeds around the malloca. 1 At that sound every female outside makes a rush into the house, before the for to merely see one botutos emerge on the open ; of them would be to her a sentence of death. We found about 300 people assembled, and the dances at once commenced. I need not detail the whole proceedings, for similar feasts have already been described by Mr. Wallace (Travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro, pp. 280 and 348). Indeed, there 1 Some of the trumpets used at this very feast are now in the Museum of when I Vegetable Products at Kew. To get them out of the river Uaupes, left for Venezuela in March 1853, I wrapped them in mats and put them on board myself at dead of night, stowing them under the cabin floor, out of sight of my Indian mariners, who would not one of them have embarked with me had they known such articles were in the boat. The old Portuguese missionaries called these trumpets juruparis or devils merely a bit of jealousy on their part ; the botuto being the only fetish not worshipped, but held in high respect throughout the whole Negro-Orinoco region.
