500 |a This photograph is part of album K. Many of the images of this album are published in "The Ao Nagas" 1926. Mongsen andChongli are two groups of the Ao, speaking their own dialect and following their own customs. At the time these photographs were taken some villages could contain khels of these separate groups, each khel knowing the other's language but speaking its own. This was often very inconvenient, so a village might decide to speak the same dialect, even though Mongsen or Chongli customs continued to be differentiated among the inhabitants. There were also, of course, villages which were purely Mongsen or Chongli.

520 3 |a Leopard killed in Ngabu's trap. This one may have been trapped in Mills' garden at Mokokchung. A trap is a long, low structure made by driving stakes into the ground and lashing them together at the top. One end is left open, and over this a heavy door is suspended. Inside are two compartments, in the further of which a goat is put as bait. When the leopard enters the trap to try to get at the goat, the outer door falls shut behind it. Mills would then be summoned to shoot the leopard, and a man would crawl into the trap and pull its tail to make sure it was dead, a somewhat hazardous procedure if it was not.
