heads of their victims, sometimes 

 tossing them about and playing 

 with them, and again carrying 

 them for some httle distance only 

 to throw them away. It does not 

 appear that they ordinarily take 

 the gory trophies home, as do the 

 representatives of all the other 

 head-hunting tribes, although the 

 hands or hearts of their victims 

 are apt to be carried away by 

 them as trophies. 



Men of this tribe murdered Dr. 

 William Jones, an ethnologist of 

 the Field Natural History Mu- 

 seum, after he had worked among 

 them for more than a year. For- 

 tunately his notes were saved, 

 and, -vhen published, they ought 

 to give the first fairly compre- 

 hensive account of this little- 

 known tribe. 



the; kalingas 



The name Kalinga. which means 

 "enemy," is applied to the people 

 of a sharply marked warlike tribe 

 numbering some 66,000 souls. 

 They inhabit the region bounded 

 by the subprovinces of Ifugao 

 and Bontoc on the south, Abra 

 and Ilocos Sur on the west, 

 Apayao on the north, and Caga- 

 yan and Isabela on the east. They 

 are not forest dwellers, but live 

 on the open plains and bare hill- 

 sides, or in large clearings along 

 mountain streams. They are ap- 

 parently of Malayan origin, and 

 only in very exceptional cases do 

 they show evidence of the admix- 

 ture of Negrito blood. Their 

 dark-brown bodies are, as a rule, 

 kept quite clean, and are often 

 beautifully developed. They have 

 high cheek-bones and eyes shaped 

 like those of the Chinese, but 

 usually set level and very far 

 apart (see page 858). 



FOND or" GAY COLORS 



The men "bang" their hair over 

 the forehead and make straight 

 cuts extending back above the ears 

 through that hair on the sides of 

 their heads. Their back hair, 

 which is allowed to grow long, 

 sometimes hangs down over their 

 shoulders. They wear clouts, 



A KALINGA GIRL 



Wearing the typical dress of well-to-do women. Un- 

 like the women of neighboring tribes, they generally 

 wear a short upper garment. Note the heavy ear orna- 

 ments of mother-of-pearl.
