It is a signiticant fact that the BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT PL. XXIX Text Appearing After Image: SERI ARCHER AT ATTENTION MCGEK) THE TABU SQUIRREL 203* smaller rodents, especially the long-tail nocturnal squirrel, areexcluded from the Seri menu by a rigidly observed tabu of undiscov-ered meaning. A general consequence of this tabu is readily observedon entering Seriland; there is a notable rarity of the ser))ents, thehigh-colored and swift efts, and the logy lizards and dull i)hrynosoinasso abundant in neighboring deserts, as well as of song birds and theirnests; and this dearth is coupled with a still more notable abundanceof the rodents, which have increased and multiplied throughout Seri-land so abundantly that their burrows honeycomb hundreds of squaremiles of territory. A special consequence of the tabu is found in thefact that the myriad squirrel tunnels have rendered much of the terri-tory impassable for horses and nearly so for pedestrians, and havethereby served to repel invaders and enable the jealous tribesmen toprotect their principality against the hated alien.
