marriage for about another tworice-seasons. Divorce seems to 
be not unusual among the Kintak Bong, but, according to two 
Grik Negritos, it is not common among their people. Exo- 
gamy among the Menik Kaien and Kintak Bong seems to 
be very usual, but rarer, if my informants are to believed, 
among the Grik aborigines. I was able to gather very little 
br sab nee about the prohibited degrees with regard to 
triage among the Kintak Bong and Menik Kaien, but 
Tokeh told me that a man might not marry the wife of his 
deceased brother, and also that marriage between first cousins 
was forbidden 
Food-Tabus. 
The Menik Kaien and Kintak Bong have a prejudice, it 
can scarcely be said to amount to. a tabu, against certain 
kinds of food, among them the flesh of buffaloes and fowls,

Musical Performances, 
Musical performances, in which the singing is accom- 
panied with bamboo stampers, are frequently held by the 
Kintak Bong. These are, I believe, at least partly performed 
with a religious intention, since Tokeh said that the people 
sang to the spirits of the banana and of gourd-plants. A 
performance of the kind was organized for my benefit and 
the following are the names of some of the songs which were 
sung :— 
Bah Tangot, The Rambutan-fruit song. 
Bah Tepas, ‘The Tepas-fruit song. 
Bah Changeh, The song of the Arang-para fruit. 
Bah Sempak, The song of the wild Durian (Durian 
buro 
ong). 
Bah Limus, The song of the Horse-mango. 
Bah Kabang, The song of the Rambutan Kabang. 
Bah Penig, The song of the Durian Kampong fruit 
(the cultivated durian). 
Burial Customs, 
I obtained the following account of burial customs from
