This myth of the great flood, and of the brother and sister who survived it, is common throughout northern Luzon. It is most highly developed by the Ifugaos, as we shall later see. THE BONTOKS The Bontoks are sometimes wrongly called Igorots, but have no more right to that name than have the Ifugaos. They are a distinct people, occupying a part of the subprovince of Bontok. They are in some respects unique, and possess certain social institutions and traits which have not been found elsewhere in the Philippines. Most of our information concerning them is contained in the monograph by Jenks; [24] in the bulky volume on the language by Seidenadel; [25] and in my own observations on the general culture and ethnology of the Bontoks. Jenks' monograph is excellent as an economic paper, but the few myths given are mostly children's stories. Seidenadel [26] gives several myths in the form of texts, and some of these I have freely translated as follows: STORIES ABOUT LUMÁWIG The sons of Lumáwig went hunting. In all the world there were no mountains, for the world was flat, and it was impossible to catch the wild pigs and the deer. Then said the elder brother: "Let us flood the world so that mountains may rise up." Then they went to inundate at Mabúd-bodóbud. Then the world was flooded. Then said the elder brother: "Let us go and set a trap." They used as a trap the head-basket at Mabúd-bodóbud. Then they raised the head-basket and there was much booty: wild pigs and deer and people--for all the people had perished. There were alive only a brother and sister on Mt. Pókis. Then Lumáwig looked down on Pókis and saw that it was the only place not reached by the water, and that it was the abode of the solitary brother and sister. Then Lumáwig descended and said: "Oh, you are here!" And the man said: "We are here, and here we freeze!" Then Lumáwig sent his dog and his deer to Kalauwítan to get fire. They swam to Kalauwítan, the dog and the deer, and they got the fire. Lumáwig awaited them. He said: "How long they are coming!" Then he went to Kalauwítan and said to his dog and the deer: "Why do you delay in bringing the fire? Get ready! Take the fire to Pókis; let me watch you!" Then they went into the middle of the flood, and the fire which they had brought from Kalauwítan was put out! Then said Lumáwig: "Why do you delay the taking? Again you must bring fire; let me watch you!" Then they brought fire again, and he observed that that which the deer was carrying was extinguished, and he said: "That which the dog has yonder will surely also be extinguished." Then Lumáwig swam and arrived and quickly took the fire which his dog had brought. He took it back to Pókis and he built a fire and warmed the brother and sister. Then said Lumáwig: "You must marry, you brother and sister!" Then said the woman:
