PLATE XXIII
Native drawing of a sort of ghoulish spirit called Auuenau. They are thought to be very thin and hairy. From their wrists, elbows, knees, etc., hang human bones taken from the dead, whom they seek to devour. The tail-like appendage is supposed to be the summer lightning, which is a sign of their presence. Geimbio tribe, Northern Territory, Australia.
