272 PAGAN TRIBES OF BORNEO chap. 



74, and PI. 143, Figs. 7, 8. The central part of the 

 forearm design is an anthropomorphic derivative, judging 

 by the name tegulun ; the lines are termed kilang^ and 

 kanak and gerowit are also conspicuous ; gerowit is also the 

 name of the design for the metacarpals ; the two stars 

 joined by a line on the wrist are termed lukut^ and it is 

 possible that their significance is the same as that of the 

 Kayan lukut tatued in the same place by men, but we 

 have no evidence that this is the case. 



Nieuwenhuis figures [9, PI. 80] a Bakatan tatued on 

 the chest in the typical manner. 



The only other designs, apparently of Kalamantan 



— __— ___^.i_.^_«__^ origin, are those figured 



— by Ling Roth [7, p. Zj\ 

 Three of these are after 

 drawings by Rev. W. 

 Crossland, and are 

 labelled "tatu marks on 

 arm of Kapuas Kayan 

 captive woman." The 

 designs are certainly 

 not of Kayan origin ; 

 the woman had in all 

 probability been brought 

 captive to Sarawak, 

 where Mr. Crossland saw 

 her, and it is unfortun- 

 ate that exact informa- 

 tion concerning the tribe 

 to which she belonged 

 was not obtained. The 

 designs, if accurately 

 copied, are so extremely unlike all that are known to 

 us that we are not able to hazard even a guess at their 

 provenance or meaning. The other design figured on 

 the same page is copied from Carl Bock ; it occurred on 

 the shoulder of a Punan, and is said by Mr. Crossland 

 to be commonly used by the Sea Dayaks of the Undup. 

 We met with a similar example of it (PI. 138, Fig. 7) 

 on an Ukit tatued in the Kayan manner, but could get 

 no information concerning it, and suppose that it is not 

 an Ukit design. Hein [6, Fig. 90] figures the same 

 design, and Nieuwenhuis [8, p. 240] alludes to a similar. 

 We may note here that the designs figured on page 89 



Fig. 74.
