Note 65 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
It is also recorded of the Coroados Indians in the interior of Brazil, according to Spix and Martius, “When they carry on war, their leader is the best hunter, he who has killed the greatest number of Enemies, Ounces, &c., and has the greatest share of cunning. At home his commands are not attended to—every body commands at home, according to his own pleasure.”—Travels in Brazil, 8vo. Eng. Transl. vol. ii. p. 245.
