In Sabah, enthnobotanical survey n medicinao s l plants have been carriey b t dou Ahmad and Raji (1991), Guntavid (1992) and Kulip (1999). A total of about 200 plant species which are used by Kadazandusun and Murut ethnic communities in treating various ailments are reported. As the information of indigenous traditional knowledge is being lost at a faster rate than species and habitat (Prance & Blick 1990), we felt that it is timely to do this study to preserve the medicinal and other useful plant biodiversity of the Lundayeh people. The study aims to record and discuss as much as possible the existing indigenous traditional knowledge of the Lundayeh community in order to ensure its continuity. The data were collected during three visits by the authors to the Lundayeh villages in Sipitang district, Sabah Aprin i , l 1996, January 199 Aprid 7an l 1997 tea.A fouf mo r carried out the interviews, with one researcher taking notes, two others collecting plants, while anothe e kepe conversatioon rth t n flowing wit e intervieweeshth .

Patients preferre curee b thesf o dt do e disease traditionay sb l methods rather than going to the hospital. Continued Lundayeh's reliance on ethno- medicine is likely due to traditional values, culture, successful use of herbal remedies and isolation from major health care centres. There are three medicinal plants identified in this study that are a new record for Sabah in terms of herbarium collection and no similar medicinal use has been described by major sources. The plants are Hydnophytum formicarium, Garnotia acutigluma and Lophatherum gracile. Forest logging in Sipitang district has had a negative impact not only on the forest ecosystem but also on the way of life of the Lundayeh who depend on the forest for livelihood.

Recent field trips to Lundayeh villages in these two districts have confirmed the group as rich in various forms of traditional dance music namely busak bunga, busak paku, alai sekafi and gong beats that serve a diverse range of purposes and functions in their daily life. Different types of traditional dance music are produced by a variety of traditional musical instruments. This preliminary study intends to explore and analyse the intricacies of Lundayeh traditional musical instruments found in Tenom and Sipitang, the aspects of the community's musical instruments and their functions, and the music transcriptions produced from selected instruments.

In turn, these interactions impact of GC content variation in microbial and vertebrate organ- seem to be important in conferring stability to higher order isms, the biological significance of GC content diversity in plants structures of DNA and RNA transcripts (11, 20). In bacteria, for remains unclear because of a lack of sufficiently robust genomic example, an increase in GC content correlates with a higher data. Using flow cytometry, we report genomic GC contents for temperature optimum and a broader tolerance range for a spe- 239 species representing 70 of 78 monocot families and compare cies (21, 22).
