tribes. It is to be hoped that the number of such persons will increase 
in the not very distant future. Meanwhile, the average wild man accedes 
with much better grace to suggestions from a white man than to those 
‘made by a civilized Filipino. 
Tribe VI. THE BENGUET-LEPANTO IGOROTS. 
The non-Christian people of the Province of Benguet and the subprovince of 
Lepanto call themselves Zgorot, and the name Jgorots might, with entire propriety, 
be assigned to them as a tribal designation were it not that no satisfactory name 
for the Bontoe people except that of Bontoe Igorots has thus far been suggested, 
and it therefore becomes necessary to distinguish between the Igorots of this sub- 
province and those of Benguet and Lepanto. 
SYNONYMY. 
BENGUETANOS. Name applied to Jgorots of Benguet. 
IGUDUT. Synonym of /gorot. 
YGOLOTES. Synonym of /gorots. 
YGOROT. Synonym of [gorot. 
HABITAT. 
The entire Province of Benguet, including the former comandancia of Kayapa; 
the mountains of that portion of Union Province which borders on Benguet and 
Amburayan; the entire subprovince of Amburayan with the exception of the town- 
ship of Sigay, where there are a number of Tingians; the hills bordering upon 
Amburayan and South Hokos, and the entire subprovince of Lepanto with the 
exception of the townships of Angaki, Concepcion, and San Emilio, in each of 
which there are considerable numbers of T'ingians. 
The rancherias inhabited by Benguet-Lepanto Igorots which border upon the 
territory inhabited by the Bontoc Igorots have already been listed. 
‘ It should be noted that in the mountains of northeastern Benguet there live, 
in inaccessible places, a people called by the Benguet-Lepanto Igorots “Busaos.” 
This word means “enemies” and is not a tribal designation. The people to whom 
it is applied are Benguet-Lepanto Jgorots and speak the Kankanai dialect. 
DESCRIPTION. 
The Benguet-Lepanto Igorots are of lower stature than are the Bontoc 
Igorots and Ifugaos, but as a result of inhabiting a very healthful moun- 
tain country they are remarkably strong and well developed. Many of 
them have large and very beautiful eyes. Their skins are of the usual 
dark shade of brown, although often darkened by earth and soot and by 
long continued exposure to the sun. The men usually wear their hair 
cut moderately short. The women bang the hair which hangs over the 
forehead, but allow the rest of it to grow moderately long and wear it 
hanging down their backs. ; 
The usual costume of the men is a clout, supplemented, whenever the 
means of the individual will permit, by a cotton blafket, which is 
wrapped around the upper part of the body to protect it from the cold 
breezes of the mountains. (PI. ITI, fig. 2.)
