The Jagas are still buried sitting, and wives are sacrificed (Capello and Ivens, From Benguella to the Territory of the Iacca, vol. i, p. 330). In Ngois, likewise, the dead are occasionally buried in a sitting posture (Bastian, vol. i, p. 82). For a full account of a funeral, see Dennett’s Folklore, p. 11.
