but will state that in my opinion the following tribes should be recognized 
in northern Luzon: 
I THe Neeriros. Il Tur Inoncors (Ipimaos). Ill Tue Ka- 
Lingas. IV THE Irucaos. V Tue Bonroo Icorors. VI Tue 
Leran'to-Bencurt Icorors. VII Tur Trnatans. 
A word as to terminology. Dr. Barrows and Dr. Jenks in writing the 
names of Philippine tribes have ordinarily used the same form for both 
singular and plural, although Dr. Barrows at least has been very incon- 
sistent in this matter. This usage has been allowed under protest in 
printing his contributions to the Census Reports.t There is some excuse 
for it when the name of a tribe is of Malay origin, but it becomes absurd 
when applied to names derived from the Spanish, as, for instance, Ne- 
grito. When one is writing English rather than Malay it seems to me 
well to form plurals in the usual way by adding “s” or “es” to the sin- 
gular, and I have followed that usage in this article. 
I will now endeavor to describe briefly the several tribes above listed, 
giving under each— 
1. The synonyms of its name as well as the names of peoples which now 
exist or are supposed to have existed and have been given separate tribal 
rank, and in my opinion are not entitled to such rank, but should be 
classed as belonging to the tribe under discussion. 
2. Its habitat so far as it is at present known. 
3. A brief description of the physical characteristics of its members; 
of their dress and ornaments, including ornamentation of the skin by scar- 
ring or tattooing; of their buildings and settlements; of their hunting, 
fishing, agriculture and manufactures; of their methods of warfare and 
head-hunting; of their arms; of their musie and dancing; of their 
marriage customs, and of their customs relative to the burial of the dead. 
T shall not discuss folklore, or religious beliefs, or other ceremonials 
except in so far as they are directly related to the subjects above 
mentioned.
