Mr® Spencer, Dist. Treasurer, tells me of a hunt at Diga®, Mindanao, 
where a SO foot Pithon and herd of hogs were rounded up by firing a large 
area of heavy cogon grass simultaneously on all sides® 
The hogs invariably rush to the centre where they are burned , their 
eyesight lost, and killed, if not by fire by the nativos* On this par- 
ticular hunt a pithon was found scorched and nearly dead. It was shot, 
and required the full strength of 4 strong natives to stretch it out at 
length* It measured about 30 feet. It had recently swallowed a large deer, 
which was removed and eaten by the natives* 
The white flower with yellow center and pink lines on back of petal is 
called Temple Flower. Fragrance resembles tuberose,
