- Translation of: Os Boróros Orientais Orarimogodogue do Planalto Oriental de Mato Grosso.
- The original Portuguese text is not included.
- Four notes should be made about the translation. First, the word 'ounce' may refer to either a jaguar or ocelot: when the authors are more specific, the more specific terms are used. Second, the notations about the relative size of artifacts found in the captions of some of the pictures refer to the size of the illustration in the original source, not the HRAF translation. Third, the quality of the original photographs is poor and they have not reproduced well. Fourth, the translation is literal and includes many grammatical peculiarities that occur in the original text.
- Translated from the original Portuguese for the HRAF files by Ivana Lillios.
- Only pp. 11-261, 351-362, and 447-449 are included.
