Abstract
This is a catalog of Iban fabrics in the Cambridge Museum, although items from the British Museum were also studied. The majority of the material involved was collected by a missionary, Charles Hose. Apart from the individual objects described, sections of the book are devoted to spinning, dyeing, weaving, and general descriptions of clothing. Data are also given on the decorations involved in the finished product, divination, and on the flora and fauna of the region.
