OTHER EXPEDITIONS 291 



stick, and beats on one end of the bamboo-joint with 

 his open hand ; he is accompanied by a man who beats 

 his hand on the top of a short length of bamboo, 

 making a noise like water coming out of a bottle. 

 Some Dayaks brought in two Tarsiers, Tarsius spectrum, 

 which appears to be not uncommon here. 



2()th. Spent the day photographing and developing. 

 Bought a Flying-Squirrel, Sciuropterus. 



-$oth. Some natives came over to the bungalow and 

 I took head-measurements of a good many ; some of 

 the Lanchang women appeared and, to my surprise, 

 expressed a desire to be photographed I was not long 

 in gratifying their request. An Engkro man attracted 

 my attention, as he presented a very different appearance 

 from the usual type of Land-Dayak ; he wore his hair 

 long at the back and with a deep fringe in front, whereas 

 the Land-Dayaks always shave the hair in front; he 

 had on a bead necklace, armlets of bark with ground- 

 down sections of cowries stuck in them, and plaited 

 fibre bracelets : altogether, he looked more like a Sea- 

 Dayak ; these people and the Milikin are worth investi- 

 gation, as I do not believe that they ought to be classed 

 amongst the Land-Dayaks. Most of these people when 

 their head-measurements are being taken stand quite still 

 and unmoved like old cows, but a handsome young 

 Kuran Dayak with an aquiline nose and swaggering 

 manner fidgeted and giggled all the time that I was 

 measuring him, saying that he was ticklish. 



3ist. Walked over to Piching and got a very good 

 reception from the people, who are singularly kind and 

 hospitable. The usual feast was prepared for me, but 

 there was no beating of gongs at it, and I was asked if 

 I would excuse this want of orchestral accompaniment
