Plate I. The dancing ground of Palimbai in the flooded season The wompunau or dancing ground is a long avenue down the centre of the village. In it stand the men's ceremonial houses, of which one is visible in the picture. The sides of the wompunau are lined with mounds on which coconut palms, crotons, bananas, etc. are planted to raise them above the fiood level. Dwelling houses lie on both sides of the wompunau, hidden by this vegetation. The photograph was taken from the upper storey of another ceremonial house. In the immediate foreground are the tops of Dracaena plants growing on the wok or ceremonial mound belonging to this house. Behind these a woman is paddling a small canoe across the wompunau. In front and to the left of the far ceremonial house, its wak is visible.
