Fire-piston (length 3 7/8 ins); cylinder (diam 3/5 in) of bamboo, closed by a node at lower end; piston of wood; a very unusual example, on account both of its small size and of the fact that its cylinder is made of a stem of bamboo; collected by Capt. Stanley Pershouse, at Sinlurn Kaba, Kacheen Hills, Burma.
