FAMILY GROUP OF THE DTAKS. 



The Dyaks are expert house and boat builders. Rice, sago, tropical 

 fruits, monkeys, wild pigs, and other game yield them subsistence. 

 The Dyaks are warlike and are still to some extent head-hunters. 

 Their weapons are spears, short swords, blowguns with poison-tipped 

 darts, and rarely bows and arrows. 



The group here shown represents a Dyak family on the porch of 

 the communal house carrying on their various occupations. Two 

 women pound rice in wooden mortars ; another woman carries rice in 

 a back basket by means of a head strap ; a man armed with a blowgun 

 brings in from the forest a red monkey which he has killed ; and two 

 children play a game, of cat's cradle, which is a familiar form of 

 amusement in this part of the world. (See pis. 70 and 71.) 



DYAK MAN. 



The skin of the Dyaks is light brown; the hair jet black, straight, 

 or wavy; the nose short, wide, and flat. Their height is about 5 

 feet 3 inches. While skillful in ironworking and other arts, they 

 are stationary in development. 



The costume consists of a chawat worn about the loins, and a tur- 

 ban made by wrapping a scarf of cloth or bark around the head. 

 Several large rings adorn the ears. The Malay weapons borne by 

 this figure are the spear; the shield, with tufts of human hair; and 

 the curious serpentine dagger called kris. (See pi. 72.) 



FAMILY GROUP OF THE BONTOC IGOROT. 



Philippine Islands. 



The Igorot are of Malayan stock and live in the higher central 

 portion of Luzon, principally in the Province of Bontoc. They 

 cultivate rice in terraces on the hills, and also plant maize, bananas, 

 sweet potatoes, and other crops; weave cloth; make pottery; and 

 mine and smelt ore. Their houses are lightly constructed, and are 

 gathered together into villages, ruled over by clan councils. The 

 population of each group is, as a rule, at enmity with all others, 

 and because the Igorot are the least modified of the Philippine 

 tribes they were until recently addicted to the practice of head- 

 hunting, which they held in common with many Malayan groups 

 of the East Indies. 



At the time of the War with Spain, Igorot levies, equipped with 

 armor, spears, bolos, and knives, were pushed forward by the Span- 

 ish to engage American troops, and it is said that they displayed 

 much courage during the slaughter that followed. 



The Igorot is of a cheerful disposition, strong, a good worker, 

 and inclined to peaceful pursuits. He is of a medium stature, has
