Negritos of Eastern Luzon. 921 Combs bought from outsiders are used almost by everybody. Some small Negrito girls, in the district of Casiguran, often ornamented their hair by inserting flowers into it. One of them, Bendoling, was very fond of parting her hair; but, in order to obtain this result, she had first to get it thoroughly wet. Ilongot men and women perforate their ears in two places: the top of the pinna and the lobule. No such custom was observed among the Negritos of Baler and Rizal, but in Cagayan and at Casiguran most of the women and a few men pierced the lobules of their ears. In the district of Casiguran, the hole in the lobule of the ear was sometimes very large, especially in the case of the women, as it served them for a pouch: here they inserted their valuables, usually rolled up in a piece of plaited bamboo, a kind of diminutive mat: coins, needles, matches, tobacco, betel nuts, &c. (cf. Plates 8 and 9). The men generally Fig. 13. Outline of head of hair. Fig. 14. Outline of head of hair. preferred to keep them in the folds of their T-string. Young girls, who rarely possessed anything of value, used the holes in their ears for inserting flowers, paper, strips of cloth, small sticks, &c. The use of armlets on one or on both arms is very general among the Negritos, especially among the men (cf. Plate 9); that of bracelets is less frequent. Armlets mostly consist in strips of rattan, generally woven into a narrow band; occasionally in strings of small beads, small ropes, &c. Feathers, leaves, flowers, &c. are stuck into them for ornamental purposes. Elaborate collars, made of pieces of shell and of small beads, are worn by many women and young boys in the district of Casiguran (cf. Plate 11), but nowhere else. These trinkets are similar in every particular to those worn by the Ilongot (cf. Plate 4), and serve exactly the same purpose, namely: adornment. VI. Dwellings. Negritos build their huts in whatever place it takes their fancy to do so. In this paper, whenever I talk about Negrito settlements, I merely refer to groups of huts that have been erected in a definite place, with the help and under the supervision of Government officials; but these settlements are very often abandoned without notice at the first opportunity. The three types of houses which have been described in my former reports, were found all over Luzon. They are: the wind shield (cf. Plate 13), the low unwalled shed (cf. Plate 12), and the imitation Filipino house.
