42 SARAWAK ETHNOGRAPHICAL COLLECTION, 



2. Dusun — Teruding. (Plate V fig. 13 bottom specimen, and 



Plate VII fig. 9). 



Made of apeng wood. It differs from the Sea-Dyak ruding 

 in the following points : — i.) the back of the instrument is not 

 concave ; ii.) one end is produced to form a handle almost 

 square in section ; iii.) one half of the frame is shaved down so 

 as to be very thin, the other half is comparatively thick ; iv.) in 

 order to give a greater range of vibration to the tongue a lump 

 of dammar is attached to it about its middle ; the peculiar shape 

 of the tongue is shown in Plate VII fig. 9. 



The cuticle of the wood is left on the handle, as a narrow 

 transverse strip across the middle of the instrument and on the 

 end opposite to the handle, where there also occurs a small dab 

 of resin. The instrument is enclosed in a small bamboo case 

 decorated with incised geometrical designs. 



Length 13 cm. ; breadth 0-8 cm. 



Catalogue No. 777. From Kiou, Mt. Kina Balu.

3. Land-Dyak — Stobeong. 



a. (Plate V fig. 13 top specimen). 



Jews-harp of brass. The tongue (jorah) and frame (bak) 

 are very thin and quite flat, one end is produced to form a 

 slightly thicker handle (kopivong) the opposite end is shaped and 

 notched. The handle is well-marked off from the frame. The 

 tongue has been smeared with lime in order to make it heavier 

 and so to tune the instrument in accord with others.
