Description / content note: A husband and wife happily sing a strange antiphonal duct together which would, upon first aquaintance, appear to be a lively quarrel but is in fact the very opposite. Bark cloth once so frequently used in this region now seems to be used only occassionaly for funerals and other ceremonies according to our informant. "That woman dresses herself in bark-cloth thinking she will die alone." Song for initiation of boys, with clapping.
