Text Appearing Before Image: PLATE 9 The room proper of the Bontoc house is above the level of the eaves. It rests on piles. It is used only as a granary and storeroom. Beneath this room and protected from the inclemency of the weather by two or three planks one each side the family cooks and eats. At one corner of this space beneath the house proper is a tight box in which husband, wife, and baby, if there be one, sleep. The other children sleep in the dormitories of the unmarried. Note the sweet-potato patches all about the house. Sharpened reeds are stuck up in these to impale the serpent eagle should he swoop down upon the chickens.

The womansear-ornaments and the spangles on her skirt are mother-of-pearl. Around herwrists are wrapped strand upon strand of beads. The Kalingas are the wealthiestof the mountain tribes and the fondest of ornaments. (146) UNIV, CALIF. PUBL. AM. ARCH. & ETHN. VOL. 15 (BARTON) PLATE 10
