532 NATIVE TRIBES OF THE PHILIPPINES. 



black, wool!}' savages of the mountains in Camimiusan "" Negros 

 Baliigas," so it seems that in certain regions more or less pure-blooded 

 Negritos were called by this name. 



Bdnaos. — [In northern Luzon, See A. B. Me3^er, with A. Scha- 

 denberg, in Vol. VIII, folio series of the Ro^^al Ethnographic Museum, 

 in Dresden.] 



Bangui- Bangui. — The Dulanganes are so called by the Moros, 



Bangot. — A name conferred on v^arious bands of Manguianes in 

 Mindoro, for the place and mode of life. So called are (1), by the 

 Socol and Bulalacao, those Manguianes who inhabit the plains; and (2) 

 those Manguianes of Mongoloid type who have their dwelling places 

 on the banks of the streams south of Pinamalayan. 



Banuaon. — Name of the Manobo trilie from which the Christian 

 settlement of Amporo, in the district of Surigas (Mindanao), was 

 formed. 



Barangan. — Name l)orne l)y those Manguian hordes who occup}'^ 

 the most elevated stations in the Mangarin Mountains (Mindoro). 



Batak.- — Another name for the Tinitianos, especially those that 

 dwell in the neighborhood of PuntaTinitia and the Bu])ayan Creek, on 

 the island of Palawan. 



Batan. — The inhabitants of Batanes Island were and are enumerated 

 b}' Spanish authors among the Ibanags or Cagayanes. According to 

 Dr. T. H. Pardo this is incorrect, for their idiom differs not only from 

 the Ibanag but from all others in the Philippines, having the sound of 

 "tsch,-' unknown elsewhere in the archipelago, and a nasal sound like 

 that of the French "en," The}' are therefore to be separated from 

 the Cagayanes, 



Bayalxmnn. — Name of a supposed Malav people with a language of 

 their own, living as neighl)ors to the Gamunanges on the mountain 

 slopes eastward from Tuao, in Cagayan (Luzon). They are heathen 

 and little is known of them save the name. 



Berihi. — Manguianes domiciled between Socol and Bulalacao, living 

 on the mountains. (Compare Bangot.) 



Bieol. — Autonym of those natives of Malay race who inhabit the 

 peninsula of Camarines in Luzon and some outlying islands. On the 

 arrival of the Spaniards they were somewhat civilized and had a kind 

 of writing. The}' are Christians, still a section of them live under the 

 names Igorrotes, or Cimarrones, mostly mixed with Negrito l)lood, in 

 the wilds of Isarog, Iriga, Buhi, Caramuan, etc., wild, and plunged in 

 the deepest heathendom. The official spelling of the name is Vicol. 

 This is clear, since in Spanish the letter v, especially before e or i, is 

 sounded like German b. 



Bilaneii. — A ISIalay people occupying, according to latest accounts, 

 a larger area than I have attributed to them in my ethnographic chart 

 of Mindanao, here thoroughly penetrated also by other stocks. The
