ody of a chief,which is honoured with a double box, remains ten days.According to an otherwise trustworthy Penihing inform-ant, funeral customs vary in the different kampongs ofthe tribe, and generally the box is placed on a crude plat-form a metre above the ground. As for the orchid, I, as well as the Dayaks, who wereshown an illustration of it, searched in vain for three days.There is no doubt that I was at the place which had beendescribed to me, but the plant must be extremely rareand probably was discovered accidentally near thewater, as the native collector said, perhaps when he wasresting. li4G91 UC SOUTHERN RFGIONAL LIBRARr fACILITY AA 000 900 822 8 CENTRAL UNIVERSITY LIBRARYUniversity of California, San Diego DATE DUE FEB 0 9 1978 Ttlitl 7 7P ^r^. 2 7 1978 MAY 04 1978 SiP27 1985 SEP 18 iyt CI 39 UCSD Libr. iillll
