THE following accounts describe the method of wearing the hair. Anderson (Cook's third Voy. Bk. I. ch. vi.) says ‘Their hair is perfectly woolly and clotted, or divided into small parcels, with the use of some sort of grass, mixed with a red paint or ochre, which they smear on their heads,” and Backhouse (p. 78), “The men clotted their hair with red ochre and grease; and had the ringlets drawn out like rat tails.” According to Davies, “The men allow their hair to grow very long, matting each lock separately with grease and ochre.” Judging from drawings, etc., the V. D. L men appear to have dressed their hair into thin spiral ringlets about three to four inches long, and described as follows by various travellers. Marion speaks of it being tied in knots–pelotons (p. 28). “The men allowed their hair to grow very long, and plastered it all over very thickly with a composition of red ochre and grease, and when it dried a little their locks hung down so as to resemble a bundle of painted ropes,” (Calder J. A. I. p. 20). While Backhouse says (p. 79): “The men clotted their hair with red ochre and grease, and had the ringlets drawn out like rat-tails.”
