in the country for races and castes, 1 have included the following, not 

 belonging here in strict accordance with the title of this article: 

 Castila, Cimarrones, Indios, Infieles, Insulares, Mestizos, Montaraz, 

 Peninsulares, Remoutados, and Sangley.^ 



Ahacas. — Heathen Malay people, who lived in the dense forests of 

 Caraballo Sur (Luzon). Warlike, probably head-hunters. In the 

 last century they were Christianized, and in their territoiy the parish 

 of Caranglan (province of Nueva Ecija) was founded, where their 

 descendants lived as peaceful Christians. They have a language of 

 their own, but appear now to be thoroughly Tagalized. 



Ahra-Igorrotes^ Igorrotes of Ahra. — Collective title for the head- 

 hunters living in the province of Abra (Luzon). Belong for the most 

 part to the Guinaanes. 



Ahulmi. — The name* of a group of wild peoples living in the moun- 

 tain regions of Zambales. They are perhaps identical with the Zam- 

 bales and Igorrotes. 



Adang. — A folk with a language of their own, who dwell about a 

 mountain of the same name in the province of Ilocos Norte. Accord- 

 ing to the Augustians P. Buzeta and P. Bravo, they are a mixture of 

 Malays and Negritos. But the first-named. element is more prevalent 

 than the second. Their customs resemble those of the Apayaos, their 

 next neighbors; still they do not appear to be head-hunters. 



Aeta^ see Negrito. [Variants: Aheta, Eta, Aita, Aigta, Ita, Atta, 

 Agta, Inagta, Ate, Ata, etc., from the Tagalog, ita^itim.^ Malay ?'?'«»?, 

 Bicol, ytmii^ black]. 



Agutamos. — Name of the natives of Malay race in the island of Agu- 

 taya, in the Cuvo archipelago (province of Calamianes). They have 

 their own dialect, called Agutaino; are Christianized and civilized. 



Alihdon^ Alihahdun. — Not the name of a people, but, it seems, a 

 title of the Moro chief, settled on the bay of Da^ao. 



Aliraut. — This name is cited in the form Igorrotes of Alimut. Sup- 

 posed to be the tribe of head-hunters who lived in June, 1889, in the 

 lately erected comandancia Quiangan and on the banks of the river 

 Alimut. In this case thej^ should belong to the Mayoyao or Ifugao 

 famil}^ (Luzon.) 



Altasanes or Altahanm. — In both forms a head-hunting people of 

 northwestern Nueva Vizcaya (Luzon) is known. The correct spelling 

 of the name should be decided. They appear to have no language of 

 their own and perhaps belong to the Mayoyaos and If ugaos. 



^NoTE. — Blumentritt published his first list in his work entitled Yersuch einer 

 Ethnographie der Philippinen, Sixty-seventh Supplement to Petermann's Mittheil- 

 ungen, 1882; Brinton reports good dictionaries and grammars by Spanish mission- 

 aries in Bicol, Bisaya, Ibanac, Ilocan, Pampango, and Tagala. Vocabularies of the 

 Bontoc, Banaul, Ilocan, and Lepanto, of northern Luzon, by Schadenburg, were 

 printed in Verhandlungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft in Berlin, in 1889; 

 American Anthropologist, 1898, Vol. XI, p. 302.
