Lieutenant F. Elton writes of the natives of Solomon Islands:  “In every village they have at least one so-called tamboo house of TOHE, generally the largest building in the settlement.  This is only for the men, it being death for a female to enter there.  It is used as a public place and belongs to the community.  Any stranger coming to the village goes to the tamboo house and remains there until the person he is in quest of meets him there.” —­ The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, vol.  XVII, p. 97.

Mr. H. O. Forbes writes of the tribes of Timor (islands between New Guinea and Australia) that they have a building called “Uma-lulik.”  He says:  “The lulik can be at once recognized, were it by nothing else than by the buffalo crania with which it is decorated on the outside.”  An officer who holds one of the highest and certainly the most influential positions in the kingdom has charge of the building, and presides over the sacred rites which are conducted in them. ...  The building is cared for by some old person, sometimes by a man and his wife, but they must not both —­ being of opposite sex —­ stay all night.” —­ Op. cit., XIII, pp. 411, 412.
