The research was funded by the Social Science Research Council of London, England. This support is gratefully acknowledged. 5 In a previous work S. Hugh-Jones, The Palm and the Pleiades. Ritual and Cosmology in Northwest Amazonia ( Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1979, p. 145), I incorrectly identified the adze constellation as being composed of Orion's belt together with Bellatrix (α Orionis) and Betelgeuse (γ Orionis). 6 Stars and constellations were identified with the aid of a number of different informants and using a flashlight as a pointer. Identifications were matched against star maps in the field and subsequently checked against D. H. Menzel, A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets ( Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1964). 7 The dates of rise and set of stars and constellations are taken from tables supplied by Dr. Anthony F, Aveni (see A. F. Aveni, “Astronomical Tables Intended for Use in Astroarchaeological Studies,” American Antiquity, vol. 37 (1972) 531– 40) but, in order to avoid distorting ethnographic reality, I have not stated them in numerical terms. 8 Patrice Bidou, personal communication. 9 See P.
