When laboring in mud and water, in planting time, both sexes frequently go about entirfl\ 

 nude, a condition not observed among any other tri))e in the Philippines 



some of the larger settlements. Forests 

 in the ^-icinity of such settlements are 

 divided up into small private holdings 

 claimed by individuals, whose right 

 thereto is recognized by the other meni- 

 bers of the tribe. Tn manv places it is 

 forbidden to cut trees until they have 



reached a large size, althotigh the lower 

 branches are constantly trimmed off and 

 used for firewood. Forest fires are kept 

 down to facilitate reforestation, and on 

 occasion A^oung trees are planted. Such 

 foresight on the part of a primitive peo- 

 ple is certainly unusual.
