The Negritos love music and dancing. 

 They indulge in a monotonous crooning, 

 varied with loud shrieks, which passes 

 for singing. Their musical instruments 

 are gansas, bamboo flutes, often played 

 with the nose instead of the lips, and 

 jews'-harps of bamboo. For hours at a 

 time they keep up a monotonous circle 

 dance, each performer having his fore- 

 finger hooked into the waistband of the 

 skirt or clout of the person in front of 

 him and walking, stamping, leaping into 

 the air, or really dancing, as the humor 

 strikes the leader of the performance, 

 who sets the pace. 



THE SUBANOS (see pictures, PACE 1177) 



The Subanos, or Subanun, inhabiting 

 territory close to or on the coast of west- 



ern and northern Mindanao are a par- 

 tially Mohammedanized tribe long en- 

 slaved by the Moros, whose dress and 

 customs they have adopted to a consider- 

 able extent, although they are not sea- 

 rovers. They inhabit the Sibuguey Pen- 

 insula in Mindanao. The name means 

 ''river dwellers" and is applied to these 

 people because they live at some distance 

 from the seashore and are met with in 

 ascending the rivers. 



A considerable number of the people 

 of this tribe have been Christianized and 

 a still larger number have been converted 

 to Mohammedanism. They are essen- 

 tially an agricultural and a very peaceful 

 people and fall ready victims to their 

 more warlike neighbors.
