text: The Yanchong people were all wearing skull caps made from dogskin. I got a decorated bag from them, the bottom end of which was woven like a carpet. They tell me that they (85) wear cloth made like this too. Their ordinary cloths were black with red bands, very similar to the Sema cloths. There were also thin blue stripes with intermittant yellow ones.
