The soil is turned from the spaces used as paths over the spaces which become beds, but the earth under the bed is not turned or loosened.

It is common to see men of all ages with a very sparse growth of hair on the upper lip or chin, and one of 50 years in Bontoc has a fairly heavy 4-inch growth of gray hair on his chin and throat; he is shown in Pl.

The entire ki-ma'-ta weighs about 5 pounds, and with it the Igorot carries loads weighing as much as 100 pounds.

But the influence of Assyria may be traced in Hadad's beard and in his horned head-dress, modelled on that worn by Babylonian and Assyrian gods as the symbol of divine power. See F. von Luschan, Sendschirli, I. , pp. 49 ff., pl. vi; and cf. Cooke, North Sem. Inscr., pp. 159 ff.
