 Journal No. 19, which he further expanded in his paper on

Both Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Listh]r possessed to a prominent 

 degree that sympathetic manner which renders Europeans 

 popular with Malays, and their loss is equally mourned by 

 Europeans and Natives.

We regret to have to record the death of Mr. Hn. Vaughan 

 Stevens, an ethnological collector in the Malay Peninsula, well 

 known to Members of the Society. He spent many years in 

 investigating the ethnology of the Hakais, visiting all parts of 

 Malay Peninsula. His collections were chiefly sent to the 

 museums of Berlin and St. Petersburg and accounts of them 

 were published in the " Yeroffentlichungen ausdem Koniglichen 

 Museum fur Volkerkunde" (Berlin), the "ZeitschriftfurEthnologie, 

 and Archiv der Pharmacie." (1893). 



Many members will remember a very interesting exhibition 

 of his Pahang collections, held at the Raffles Library, in June 

 1890, under the auspices of the President and Council of the 

 Society. His illness, due to the hardships he had undergone in his 

 explorations was of some months' duration, and he expired at 

 Kuching, Sarawak, on April 29th, at the age of sixty-two.
