complete exhibition of textiles. 
At the farther end of the 
hall are two cases given over 
to the representative peoples of 
the islands of Sumatra, Celebes, 
_ and Java. 
The Samal and Sulu Moros 
representing the Mohammedan 
population are next in order. 
Their war-like character is indi- 
cated by the predominance of 
spears, krises, and shields. 
There are also some examples 
of their work in pottery and 
basketry. 
The Igorots of the Island 
of Luzon have examples of 
their metal work, weapons and 
shields, basketry and textiles 
displayed in cases midway of 
the hall on the east side. 
The Negritos are of special 
interest because of their small 
size. They are pygmies and 
are believed to be descended 
from the first inhabitants of 
the island. In the case devo- 
ted to them are to be seen 
an interesting array of diminu- 
tive poisoned arrows and the 
accompanying bamboo quivers. 
Owing to the increase of the 
Museum collections and the 
fact that no addition has been 
made to the building for the 
past ten years it may be neces- 
sary to rearrange the Philippine 
exhibits to provide room for the display of African material.
