- Description: This song os sung with the accompanying dance, in order to ask the Chief's pernission to go to the initiation school. It seems the young would-be initiates must go to the Chief's house and dance and sing the whole night through. The leader of this group was the Chief's cousin. The boys dance, whilst the girls stand in a row, singing and clapping. The boys all carried long thin wands in their hands and were wearing short loin cloths and leg rattles made of the nests of a variety of wasp which resemble the cacoons of the bag-worm, though somewhat larger. The girls wore short skirts. Both boys and girls were between 15 and 16 years of age. Pre-initiation dance song with leg rattles - "Mathlao".
