NASAL MEASUREMENTS. 



The measurements taken were so few that it would be unfair 

 to draw any very definite conclusions from them, but in so far as 

 they go they do not seem inconsistant with the aborigines' story 

 of their mixed origin ; for in a very small series tliei-e is a large 

 degree of variation, ranging in the cephalic indices from marked 

 bracliycephaly to equally marked dolicocephaly. 



Selangor, lying as it does, between Southern Perak with its 

 almost pure blooded Sakai and Negri Sembilan with its proto-Malays 

 (Mantra, Biduanda, etc.) is undoubtedly occupied by many aboriginal 

 tribes of mixed blood of which the people of the Langat and 

 Kenaboi I'ivers are pi'obably one.
