THE SAKAI AND SEMANG DIALECTS, 45 
(1) Dolicho-cephalic skulls. 
(ii) Darkish skins, 
(iii) Eyes horizontal not oblique. 
(iv) Hair wavy not straight and not woolly; and he 
quotes R. Martin and Logan as proving that the Sakai have the 
same peculiarities. 
‘He continues :—‘“ It is otherwise with the Semang. Their 
“darker colour, and woolly hair sepzrate them anthropologically 
‘both from the Sakai and from the Mon-Khmer people. The 
“fact that they speak what is essentially the same language can 
‘only be explained on the assumption that they have abandoned 
“their own and adopted aforeign one. As is the case with the 
“Nezsritoes of the Philippines the original Ne zriti language seems 
‘to have been lost although indeed in the case of the Semanz a 
“number of words appear to exist as a new want of it. 
The paper here ends. It covers 180 octavo pages and is 
obviously the outcome of most careful and labourious work. It 
is much too important not to be noticed in the Society’s Journal 
and in default of a review by. a competent hand my abstract 
may, I trust, suffice to direct the attention of members to it.
