AGAIAMBO, or AGAUMBU

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 362 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AGAIAMBO, or AGAUMBU , a race of
dwarf
  marsh-dwellers in British New
Guinea
 , now almost
extinct
 . In his annual report for 1904 the acting
administrator
  of British New
Guinea
  stated that on a visit he paid to their
district
  he saw six males and four females. The Agaiambo live in huts erected on piles in the lakes and marshes. Dwarfish in stature but broadly built, they are remarkable for the shortness of their legs. They live almost entirely in their " dug-outs " or canoes, or actually wading in the water. Their food consists of sago, the roots of the water-lily and
fish
 . The Agaiambo are believed to have been formerly numerous, but within the last few years have suffered from the raids of their cannibalistic Papuan neighbours. In features, colour and
hair
  they closely resemble the true
Papuans
 .
