 | | Composed by "Chana Lucla," an Andamanese woman of the "Aka Balawa" tribe [Akar Bale], married to a man of the "Aka Kede" tribe. |
 | | The two following songs composed by "Toke," an Andamanese of the "Aka Jawai" [Aka-Juwoi?] tribe, resident at "Pewiltaur," are given to show a two-line chorus of peculiar rhythm, used chiefly in the northern part of the Middle Andaman. |
 | | There also occur minor differences in these dances among the different tribes, which merely consist, on the men's part, of a different mode of swinging the hands, and on the women's part, of a greater or less accentuation of the curtesy. |
