Several of these appear to be of Spanish origin, but the 

 majority are of Malay derivation. 



A cruder and more primitive form of the Minahasa type of 

 hermaphrodite outrigger {infra, p. 85) is met with at Las Palmas, 

 Mindanao. Its characteristics, are clearly shown in figure IX, on 

 plate V. It is probably the parent form of the type, indicating its 

 original home. From a study of the boat forms of the North 

 Celebes region, I infer that there has been immigration thereto 

 from the Philippines. 



THE CELEBES ISLANDS. 



When we pass to the Celebes we find much greater diversity 

 in double outrigger canoes and boats than in the Moluccas. The 

 fishermen use them if possible even more extensively and for light 

 coasting purposes in several parts, particularly in the north, large 

 outriggers still continue the struggle with the schooner-rigged, 

 high-sterned praus that have monopolized this trade in the south.
