Their powers are hereditary, and five of them enjoj' a supremacy over all their associates throughout the archipelago. The privileges of the kalites and of the chiefs combined with the belief in spirits have surrounded the existence of the natives with a multiplicity of prescriptions and observances. The life of each individual is regulated by strict' rules, and many places and things are moncjul, that is, tabooed. The women are respected and may even acquire authority whether as kalites or sup...reme chiefs. They form sisterhoods, whose privileges are recognised, and some travellers have reported that in criminal cases the}^ are judged by their peers. Traces of a former matriarchal system still survive. Thus power is inherited, not from father to son, but from brother to brother, and the sister ranks before the wife of the chief. The men also of the different "castes, noble or military, are grouped in brotherhoods, and possess special pai or " clubs, " into which no one can penetrate without their consent.
