sidered as having a predominance of Chinese blood, and in the 
Gulf of Davao (Mindanao) and Sulu he finds Malays with a 
mixture of Arab and Indonesian blood. These are called 
Moors by the Spaniards and are all Mohammedans. They 
number about ten thousand souls. 
The author divides the Negritos of Luzon and Mindanao 
into :—l.—Neegritos; 2.—Mamanua; 3.—Negrito Mestizos. 
In Malacca he enumerates four tribes, namely :—1.—Manthra, 
2.—Knabui, 3.—Udai, and 4.—Jakuns. Other Sakeis are not 
taken into account. Besides these, there are many Negritos in 
the other large islands of the Philippine group, such as Mindo- 
ro, Panay, &c., but of these Dr. Montano saw nothing. 
There can be no doubt that there are three zones of races to 
be found in most of the larger islands of the Indian Archipe- 
lago.. Nay more, we find the same or similar facts far beyond 
the limits ascribed to them by Dr. Montano. There are three 
zones of races very distinctly marked in Formosa, in Hainan 
probably, and there are even traces of the samein Japan. But 
when we come to analyze the constituents of these zones, the 
difficulty of classifying them under one head becomes manifest. 
In Borneo, for instance, the coast line is on the west, north and 
north-east overspread with Malays (Bajows), the central zone 
may roughly be said to be made up of the various tribes of 
Dusuns and Dyaks.. But the Dusuns are of partly Chinese 
origin, and there does not seem to be anything in common bet- 
ween them and the Indonesians. In the centre we have wild 
mountain tribes, of which little is known, but yet sufficient to 
say that they are not Negritos. 
In Formosa the Negritos of the mountains are a fierce sa- 
vage tribe very like those of Luzon, but more treacherous. 
The central zone is a mixture of Chinese and possibly a Malay 
race, while the coast line is entirely Chinese. We have no 
traces of a distinct Indonesian population in the Malay Penin- 
sula, but any person who pays much attention to the diversities 
of type amongst the Malays in the various States must see at 
once that some admixture of races must have taken place. 
Of course, the recent mestizos of Malay-Chinese and Indo-Ma- 
lavs are taken into account by Dr. Monrano.
