REPORT ON A JOURNEY FROM TUARAN TO KIAU. 21. 
85. The Kiau natives now killed the cow for which before 
a goat had been substituted during the ceremony consequent 
on taking the oath of friendship. 
86. BAYER, the father of BUNAHOW, we found to be a 
talkative old man; in fact I dropped off to sleep and when 
I awoke he was still declaiming. 
§7. The wild raspberry grows in abundance on the village 
green, but the natives do not utilize it. During our walk 
yesterday the Dyaks found “Libu”’ creeper, as they call 
it, which, they sentimentally said, reminded them of the 
fragrant breath of the Dyak women. This, I believe, is the 
creeper whose leaves steeped 11 warm water are used asa 
substitute for tea by the Orang Sunger (Sulu refugees) of — 
Labuk and Tongud. At Nyot Tonggal in 1883, a village on 
the latter river, | drank many cups of this *‘ tea”’ and did 
not dislike the taste. 
88. BUNAHOW’S brother has a shrunken leg and is sitting 
next to me and employing himself shredding tobacco leaves. 
The leaves are of medium size and unbroken. In cutting, 
the performer uses a long bamboo knife and, to prevent 
acciderts, has a bamboo joint on his left thumb which keeps 
the leaves steady on a three-legged stool, representing the 
block. The tobacco is ait erw ards made into rolls which are 
folded into a parcel Mee byes by-2- deep. — Phis, 2 SOS eg EBS 
ly heard, was sold four to the fathom of black cloth or 44 cents 
each. 
89. TAMBIAS, our late guide, informs me that he stood 
and watched cave swallows flying in clouds out of Bukit Simpa- 
ruan, one day’s journey from Kiau. TAmBIAS I found to be 
an intelligent young man and I believe his report, but as the 
Kiau men appear to be coming to the end of their rice, and 
provisions are five times dearer than in Tuaran, I postpone 
prospecting for the cave. 
90. In the evening, SI GURAS, a sister of BUNAHOW’S, 
entertained us to /uggano. When the Hill Dusuns sing, 
they prefer to lie on their backs saying they are more com- 
fortable in this position. Since my return 1 have informed 
our Medical Officer of the fact, and he says that there is an 
anatomical reason for this, as the lungs have more play than
