ABSTRACT

Skeat has a curious scrap of folk-lore concerning persons entering the jungle. He says that “a certain way of provoking the aggressiveness of the tiger-folk is to follow after any member of the tribe who has started on a shooting expedition in the jungle with his blowpipe, no matter whether with the object of accompanying or recalling him”. A dream that a berok-monkey is attacking the sleeper indicates that Malay will come to the camp and cause trouble. Dreams, among the Kintak Bong and Menik Kaien, as among many other primitive peoples, are considered important. The singing was accompanied by a pair of bamboo stampers, struck on a log by one of the women, and by two pairs of “castanets”, pieces of wood or bamboo—such as the Malays call cherachap—which were beaten, one piece against another, by two of the youths. Musical performances, in which the singing is accompanied with bamboo stampers, are frequently held by the Kintak Bong.
