4?8 NOTES OF A BOTANIST CHAP. on one side (rudely figured at a], into which fire is put, and another at the opposite (as at b], which serves as a flue. Of the articles laid on the budari, c is the brush of piassaba tied tightly round at midway, which serves for sweeping the oven before the cassava cake or farinha is spread out to bake ; d is the palm-leaf fan for blowing the fire ; and my Indians would have it that d' was another fan, but the hook .at one corner (which, whenever it occurs in these figures, indicates a bit of liana-rope by which the utensil is hung up) renders it probable that else was meant e is a stage (or shelf) something ; such as may be seen of various sizes hung from the roof of an Indian's hut, but especially over the oven and hearth, the smoke from which acts as an antiseptic to the dried fish and other viands kept on the stages, and also partially keeps off the cockroaches ; f is either the mandiocca-grater or, more probably, a flat piece of board, sometimes with a hole to insert the fingers, which is used to raise the edges of the cassava cake and to aid in turning it over. All these articles are in use to this day throughout a vast extent of country on the Orinoco and Casi- quiari. Even in the Andes, a triangular or square fan, plaited by the Indians of the leaves of maize or wild cane, is the only bellows used by the Quitonian housewife. The figures marked B (Fig. 17) were declared by my Indians to be dolphins, whereof two species abound in the Amazon and Orinoco. C they said was plainly the same sort of thing as the big papers (maps) I was continually poring over. For a is the town often consisting of a single annular house, with a road from it leading
