My companion, Mr. D-, was alsó not overburdened with the moniality of flesh. The Dyaks therefore get through the passage with ease and so did Mr. Dithout very much trouble. But when I fairly gol squeezed into the breach, so to speak, I could force myself, neither upwards nor downwards (for that was the direction of the parago), and there I was, suspended like Mahomed's coffin or a trusted fowl. By dint of wriggling, however, I at last found myself on the top of the passage, minan a certain amount of skin and some buttons from my tight fitting-khaki conf. Still on we jogged for the best part of a mile, when, lo and behold the caves in which the birds were breeding, and which were to be the limits of our under. ground wanderings.
A faint glimmer of light could be seen through a rift in t'e rocks far above us, and it was through this small rift, which was a sealed passage even in the Dyaks themselves, that the birds passed in their journeys to and from their nesting-grounds. Our arri-ál, of course, disturbed whatever birds were there, and they disappeared as best they could, Nor were

lar time of day we paid our visit most of the birds would be foraging elsewhere. A few awishes of the different torches, with proper adjustment of the withes, and they burni brightly for a time in our Pluto's Hail, which was an appropriate enough name for this cave in the absence of any other. And there, for a time, we watched the Dyaks ging through their gymnastics of robbing the birds', nests, with their ropes and Inng pales, creeping along the high ridges and ledges, in the lurid light of the larches, like unearthly spectres. It was rather late in the season for getting many edible birds' nest, and the Dyaks went with us more as guides than with the hope of making a great haul of nests. We got enough, however, to satisfy our curiosity, and that was all-we wanted, besides being enlightened in the way In which the thing was done.
The birda that build these peculiar nests are a species of swallow, not very different in alta or in mode of flight from the migratory swallows that frequent our own shorer at certain seasons, with the usual skimming fight, pointed wingi and characteristically forked tail. The nests consist of shallow cupshaped cavirles, truncated at one side, where they are attched to the rocks like bracketston wall, and forming same- thing like a two-thirds segment of a circle. It
is not always easy to get at them, as they are sometimes glued to the perpendicular sides of the solid rocks, high overhead, so that the nest hunters have to scale these cracks with ropes and poles to get at them. In substance they consist
of an elastic, semi-transparent mucilaginous material, which is said to be a secretion, or macerated food, from the crops of the birds themselves. As robbing these nests for com mercial purposes forms a part of the Dyik's means of livelihood, and of Rajah. Brooke's revenue, the birds have frequently to build twice or even three times during the season' before they are able to hatch their offspring, and it is noted that each successive crop of pets deteriorates in the way both of construction and composition. The original, or first nests, built at the beginning of the season, are bright and transparent, with but little admixture of other material than the paternal secretion spoken of and are consequently known on the market as "white peats" But when they are robbed, the next crop is not nearly so pure in ub stances, and when a third crop has to be built,
