Ca-tog-bah-tong wag the name of the first Mandaya village* (Yah® 
ha-ha® you is this call from a distance), which was sighted at 8:30 
A* M. , we having set out at 5:25 A, M. We are now hear the head canyon 
of the Baganga River, still a large stream with falls and cataracts* The 
clearing of this village faces east and is very steep* She women and 
old men all run away before we reach their houses* Their laws are strict* 
There is no lying, stealing or immorality among them. 
Land shells few. Rough rocks eroded into strange shapes, (spec® 
imen taken from last camp). Forests a little less heavy. 
Set 4 traps in last camp beside Baganga River* Caught old male rat, 
having distal end (1/2) of tail white. Small Swifts, glossy back, show a 
little white when flying away. Flitting over the stream.

Travelled 3 hours before reaching a spot where one could see any- 
thing at a distance* Brown Bornbills common. Numerous bird voices. 
No kinds identified* Birds verv scarce throughout this mountain region. 
Must always watch one’s feet. I strive to keep up. Notime for observa- 
tions* Trees too tall to see* 
When a young man wants a wife ho pays hemp cloth, or five slave men 
(if he wants to marry in the upper 400)* If two men each have a sister, 
and one asks to exchange sisters for wives, the one who asks is expected 
to give an extra woman in the bargain* They can have as many as 3 wives*
