Bakid, variously described as "for the dead," "against ditches going dry," and "part of other cañaos." Similar to the Benguet Kankanay bugid; and the Nabaloi tawal ni payu. Ubaya, divination, "for finding out." Similar to the Ifugao ubaya, the Benguet Kankanay anap, and the Nabaloi buyon, sabat, and bakno. Palis, against witches. Similar to the Benguet Kankanay palis and the Nabaloi palis. B. Mentioned only in the reports from this or that township: Pasang, against sterility. Similar to the Benguet Kankanay pasang, and the Nabaloi pasang. Keslei, against sickness. Tobag, against sickness. Tonkala, in accordance with a vow rendered during sickness. Bagaoas, for the rice crop; against mice and drouth. Sepesep, nature and purpose not clear. PARTICULAR CEREMONIES [7] BINDIAN The bindian, called by the Kabayan Nabaloi bindayan, is celebrated in Buguias, but in no other Kankanay town. The ceremony is held to cure or to prevent sickness, or in compliance with a promise made while a person is sick. In general, the celebration is similar to that conducted in Kabayan; but in Buguias instead of the dummy head being carved to represent the head of a person, it represents the head of a snake. In the bindian song for Buguias, the deeds of the heroes who went to Legleg and succeeded in killing two large snakes which had been responsible for the death of a large number of people, are commemorated. The olol, instead of representing the takers of human heads as they do in Kabayan, represent the persons who killed the snakes. As among the Kabayan Nabaloi, hogs are used for sacrifice, and the dancing is the same in the two towns. The prayer is also similar. As a rule the celebration is not conducted on so large a scale in Buguias as it is in Kabayan, and fewer people attend. I do not know whether or not this ceremony is given in any of the Lepanto Kankanay towns, but I have seen a dance in Bagnen which is similar to the bindian dance. The Igorot farther north have their head-taking celebrations, of which the bindian seems to be a survival. MANDIT The mandit of the Kankanay corresponds to the pachit of the Nabaloi. The Nabaloi use the word manchit, meaning "to celebrate the pachit." The Kankanay always substitute "d" for the "ch" of the Nabaloi. However, there is a difference in the purpose for which the Nabaloi and the Kankanay of Kibungan and surrounding towns celebrate this ceremony. In Kibungan it is given neither to cure nor to prevent sickness, but only to cause the person celebrating it to become rich and to be honored by the people. In the Kankanay town of Buguias it is celebrated to cure or prevent sickness as well as to enhance the prestige and to increase the wealth of the giver. The following is an account of a mandit which I saw on the 3rd and 4th of October, 1916, at the house of Damadan, a rich Igorot living in Kibungan:
