The kok-o'-lang is also employed successfully for such birds as run on the ground, especially those which run in paths. The si-sim' is another spring snare set on the open ground. Food is scattered about leading to it, and is placed abundantly in an inclosure, the entrance to which is through the fatal noose which tightens when the bird perches on the trigger at the opening to the inclosure.
When this is freed the loop, E, at once tightens around the victim, as the cord is drawn taut by the releasing of the spring a shrub bent over and secured by the upper end of the cord. This spring is not shown in the drawing. Spring snare, Kok-o'-lang. Bontoc has two or three quadrupeds which it names "cats." One of these is a true cat, called in'-yao.
It is domesticated by the Ilokano in Bontoc and becomes a good mouser. The kok-o'-lang is used to catch this cat. Pl. XLVI shows with what success this spring snare may be employed. The cat shown was caught in the night while trying to enter a chicken coop. He was a wild in'-yao, was beautifully striped like the American "tiger cat," and measured 35 inches from tip to tip.
