114 PAGAN TRIBES OF BORNEO chap. the shoulders of the one going before her, and all keeping time to the music of the keluries as they dance up and down the long gallery. All this is kept up with good humour the whole day long. In the evening more btirak is drunk and songs are sung, the women mingling with the men, instead of remaining in their rooms as on other festive occasions. Before midnight a good many of the men are more or less intoxicated, some deeply so ; but most are able to find their way to bed about midnight, and few or none become offensive or quarrelsome, even though the men indulge in wrestling and rough horseplay with one another. After an exceptionally good harvest the boisterous merrymaking is renewed on a second or even a third day. The harvest festival is the time at which dancing is most practised. The dances fall into two chief classes, namely, solo dances and those in which many persons take part. Most of the solo dances take the form of comic imitations of the movements of animals, especially the big macaque monkey {dok), the hornbill, and big fish. These dances seem to have no connection with magic or religion, but to be purely aesthetic entertainments. The animals that are regarded with most awe are never mimicked in this way. There are at least four distinct group dances popular among the Kayans. Both men and women take part, the women often dressing themselves as men for the occasion (PL 6i). The movements and evolutions are very simple. The hipa resembles the dance on return from war described in Chap. X. In the kayo, a similar dance, the dancers are led by a woman holding one of the dried heads which is taken down for the purpose ; the women, dressed in warcoats, pretending to take the head from an enemy. The lakekut is a musical drill in which the dancers stamp on the planks of the floor in time to the music.
AGRICULTURE 115 The hipak is a kind of slow polka. In none of these do the dancers fall into couples. A fifth dance, the dance of the departure of the spirit, is a dramatic representation by three persons of the death of one of them, and of his restoration to life by means of the water of life (this is supposed to be brought from the country which is traversed on the journey to the land of shades). This dance is sometimes given with so much dramatic effect as to move the onlookers to tears.
