The Putumayo : the devil's paradise, travels in the Peruvian Amazon Region and an account of the atrocities committed upon the Indians therein . ote.—The letters should be pronounced as in Spanish. The Huitotos are a well-formed race, andalthough small are stout and strong, with a broadchest and a prominent bust, but their limbs, espe-cially the lower, are but little developed. Theirhair, long and abundant, is black and coarse, andis worn long by both sexes. A peculiar custom isthat of pulling out the eyebrows, eyelashes, andthe fine hairs of the other parts of the body.
