Arrows and quiver, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Luzon. — The 

 type of quiver more commonly made by those tribes using the bow 

 and arrow is formed from two or more joints or nodes of bamboo. 

 In this specimen the septum of the lower joint is allowed to remain. 

 This .serves as a bottom for the quiver. One-half the distance up the 

 length of the quiver the siliceous walls are left intact, but from that 

 point to the top of the quiver the walls are cut away on one side, 

 leaving one-half the sectional circumference. This facilitates re- 

 moval of the arrows when they are to be used. A cord of twisted 

 bark is looped through a hole in the uncut sector of the bamboo near 

 the top for suspension. 



The arrows are similar to the typical Negrito arrow ; the head and 

 foreshaft combined is formed of palm wood and is unbarbed; the 

 shaft is formed of the dwarf variety of bamboo; feathering is similar 

 to that described as the typical Negrito method, namely, the two or 

 three feathers used are left intact, except for the base end of quili, 

 which is bisected, one section removed and the other laid flat against 

 the shaftment; tips of feathers and bisected base are each wrapped 

 with waxed wrappings of bark fiber so that the feathers rest with 

 split quill lying flat against the shaft and spines projecting awa^ 

 from the shaft. 



Length of quiver, 88.4 centimeters (2 feet 10 inches) ; length of 

 arrows, 109.2 centimeters (3 feet 6 inches). Collected hj Capt. II. C. 

 Warmsley (pi. 1). Cat. No. 211653, U.S.N.M. 



Quiver and arrows, Moro, Mindanao. — The quiver is of bamboo 

 with a cap woven of rattan splints in single-twilled basketry pattern. 

 The quiver is provided with a small carrying handle attached by 

 means of abaca cord lashings braided about both handle ends, which 

 lie flat on the surface of the bamboo quiver case and are passed 

 around the surface of quiver in simple roll wrappings. Cord lash- 

 ings as well as the basketry quiver cap are pitched with a black 

 gummy cement. A spur, 41 centimeters (16.1 inches) long, com- 

 posed of one-third the sectional circumference of the extended bam- 

 boo quiver casing, projects from basal end of quiver and tapers to a 

 bluntly truncated point. Aside from being ornamental, this spur 

 serves as a ground support for the quiver when removed from the 

 belt. The basketry cap of the quiver likewise terminates in a spur 

 which is much shorter, namely, 3 centimeters (1.2 inches), and is the 

 core or starting point from which the basketry work is begun. It 

 serves also as an ornamental button or cap. The quiver is of but 

 one section or joint of bamboo, the septum serving as the basal end ; 

 the projecting spur is an extension of the adjoining section. 



The arrows are of uniform length and have bamboo shafts, tipped 

 with tapered heads of palma hrava; three of the palmwood heads 

 have iron points inserted into a bifurcated notch at the distal end.
