92 MADRAS FISHERIES BULLETIN VOL. XII, 



The smaller canoes have sometimes a plain angular bend 

 connecting the boom and the float, one arm lashed to the side of 

 the boom, the other to the outer side of the float, as shown in 

 figure 50 b. 



WEST COAST OF BORNEO 



Comparatively few outriggers are employed on this coast ; what 

 there are, arc of the East Indonesian type seen around Macassar. 

 The majority of fishing boats here are either small dugouts without

 rudders are employed as in Macassar praus. Steering is done with 

 the one on the lee side, that to windward is often left immersed 

 and untended — it acts as a sort of leeboard under these conditions.

 fishing canoes are of this design (PI. XI, fig. XXI). In this,

the oblique outrigger secondary approaches the form seen around 

 Macassar, but the free end of the curved head instead of being 

 brought down past the side of the boom and there secured later- 

 ally, is cut to fit upon the convex upper surface of the boom to 

 which it is strongly lashed (Fig. 51). The booms are stout
