324 PAGAN TRIBES OF BORNEO 



1.725 m. and over; the subject had his eyes looking towards 

 the horizon. 



With the exception of the observations by Mr, R. Shelford, 

 mainly on the Land Dayaks and Iban, which are duly noted, 

 all the data on the living were collected by Dr. W. McDougall 

 and myself, either separately or conjointly, and I have to thank 

 him for permitting me to work up the results. Our thanks are 

 due to Dr. Hose, at whose invitation we went to Sarawak, and 

 without whose zeal, knowledge of the country, and wonderful 

 influence over the natives this work could not have been 

 accomplished. Mr. S. H. Ray also assisted us as amanuensis. 

 Most of the figures were tabulated for me by Miss Barbara 

 Friere-Marreco and the remainder by Miss Lilian Whitehouse, 

 who also has greatly assisted me in drawing up this memoir.
