THE SOCIAL SYSTEM 85 



until the whole household removes and builds a 

 new house. Occasionally a remnant of a household 

 which has been broken up by the attack of enemies 

 is sheltered by a friendly house ; but the newcomers 

 are lodged in the gallery only until the time comes 

 for building a new house, when they may be 

 allowed to build rooms for themselves, and to 

 become incorporated in the household. Another 

 plan sometimes adopted is to build a small house 

 for the newcomers closely adjoining the main house, 

 but joined to it only by an open platform. 



APPENDIX TO CHAPTER V 



Tables showing Kinship of the Kenyahs of Long Tikan {Tama 

 Bulan^s house) in the Baram District of Sarawak. 



We have made out tables showing the kinship of the inhabit- 

 ants of several Kenyah long houses and of one Sea Dayak house, 

 following the example and method of Dr. W. H. R. Rivers. 

 These tables have not revealed to us indications of any peculiar 

 system of kinship ; but we think it worth while to reproduce one 

 of them as an appendix to the foregoing chapter. The table 

 includes all the inhabitants of the house living in the year 1899, 

 as well as those deceased members of whom we are able to 

 obtain trustworthy information. The arrangement is by door or 

 room, but since on marriage some shifting from one room to an- 

 other takes place, some individuals appear under two doors. 



In these tables the names of males are printed in ordinary 

 type, those of females in italics ; and the following signs are 

 used : — 

 = for married to. 



I indicates the children of a married couple. 



1 i 



I implies that the individual below whose name it occurs reached 



° adult life, but died without issue. 



I implies a child dead at early age, sex and name unknown. 



X 



$ implies male child not yet named, 

 $ implies female child not yet named 

 "i individual of unknown name.
