To these mountaineers was applied the name Tinguianes a term at first used to designate the mountain dwellers throughout the Islands, but later usually restricted to his tribe. The Tinguian themselves do not use or know the appellation, but call themselves Itneg, a name which should be used for them but for the fact that they are already established in literature under the former term.
The spirit bade the writer to arise from the mat, where he was lying, and after stroking his head for a time, said, "You wish to make this American an Itneg, but before you can do anything, the spirits must approve and give him a name. I will give him a name now, and then to-morrow all the people must say if they wish to give him another name and make him Ipogau.
These Tinguian ethnically belong to the great Igorot group, and in northern Bontoc Province, where they are known as Itneg, flow into and are not distinguishable from the Igorot; but no effort is made in this monograph to cut the Tinguian asunder from the position they have gained in historic and ethnologic writings as a separate people.
He did not put any branches near his head, and in the night an evil spirit came and wanted to eat him; but when the spirit saw that he had the skin disease, he did not care to eat, so he spit on him. The man got up and went home, but soon he got sick and died. When Itneg go to hunt or have to sleep anywhere that spirits can get them it is good to use sobosob or banal under them for a mat.
