Title:
From Erode: South Kanara. Just over the frontier of Coorg, Sullia is in the foothills of the Western ghats. The region is notorious for malaria; the Collector would not allow the Bakes to stay overnight in the Travellers Bungalow. In that notorious T.

Title:
From Erode: Mangalore, probably May 7th. Compare the horse-masks 153, 154 with those in Cananore (Chirakkal) no.123, 124. The mask made of Arecasheath prepared then and there. I seldom saw a more realistic horse than this hobby-horse once it began to gallop. I think the boys covered with greass were devils, whereas the man on the horse played a somewhat clownish part, wearing a topi, which people always feel as more or less clownish. Photographer: Bake, Arnold Adriaan
