Note 1 — Appendix: Some later ethnological features of the Philippines

[The following interesting account is from the Práctica del Ministerio by Tomás Ortiz, O. S. A.,1 and is translated from W. E. Retana’s edition of Zúñiga’s Estadismo de las islas Filipinas (Madrid, 1893), ii, pp. *14–*21. Retana found a copy of this important MS. at the Augustinian convent at Valladolid in the collection of father Fray Eduardo Navarro, where it still exists and where we ourselves examined it not long since. The following selection is from chapter i, section iv, pp. 11–15.]
