PACIFIC ISLANDS 



relating to the Bagobo of IVIindanao Island. In the several cases are to 

 be found collections showing the native work in metals, the garments of 



native fibre decorated with 

 beads, and a very interesting 

 and quite complete exhibition 

 of textiles, showing the mater- 

 ials, looms and finished pro- 

 ducts. 



At the farther end of the 

 hall are two cases given over 

 to the representative peoples of 

 the islands of Sumatra, Celebes, 

 and Java, showing their knives 

 and l)low-guns. 



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
