ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I review images of small hairy hominoids that are basically similar to the Nage ebu gogo. I also discuss several mostly distinct Florenese representations which, while rather less comparable, nevertheless provide a wider context in which the Nage wildman may be understood. Owing to considerations of length (and to avoid overburdening the reader), it will be necessary to condense much of the material, particularly information deriving from my own ethnography. Throughout, it will be useful to refer to Maps 2 and 3.
