The card gives the reference: " 20AR" . This may be an obsolete box number, or part of an obsolete system of classification; in any case, its significance is at present unclear. The card has the following entry: " See picture in " Malay Magic" -Skeat.W.W Plate 4, page 133" The fowler is concealed in the conical hut, made of stakes covered with green branches. A railing is provided outside as perch for the decoy pigeon, which, with the help of grain, brings the wild birds within reach of a noose fastened to the end of a long rod which is kept ready by the fowler; Collected by: Skeat.W.W; Ref.
