Show A bpottea ri u. There is a whole tribe of spotted men and women and children, too, to be met with in a district on the banks of the River Purus, in South America. They fete only on the river banks, ,or in floating float-ing settlements in the lagoons. Almost their whole life is spent in their canoes, and they are conspicuous by their peculiar pecu-liar skin, which is covered with black and white spots, and causes many individuals in-dividuals to look just as if they had been dappled, so that the spotted man need not always be a thing of paint and patch.
