SEMANGS. 
Although the moiatitain range which traverses the 
Malayan Peninsula, is continued without interruption 
feet ten inclies. Head small, ridged, tliat is, rising above forehead 
in an obtuse wedge shape, tlie back rouiided and soii\e\vhat swelling ; 
the forehead small, low, TOundecl, and markedly imirower than the 
zygometic or middle zone : the face gcnemllj' narttiwcr and smaller 
tJiau the Malay ; eyebrows very prominent, standing out from the 
forehead and projecting over the ocukr farrow which extends across 
the faoe^ the root of the nose sinking into it, and fijnning a deep 
angle with the base of the supercQiary ridge; the nose short and 
somewhat sharp at the point, and often turned up, but the ala* 
spreading; eyes fine, middle-sized vmd straight, iris large, black 
and piei-cing, conjunctive membrane yellow, the np|>cr eyclftsbcs, 
owing to the deep ocular depression, or prominent ridges, .are com- 
pressed or folded, the roots of the hair being hidden ; the cheek 
bones generally brood, but iu some ciises not remarkably prominent, 
save with reference to the narrow forehead ; mouth large or wide, 
but lips not thick or projecting; the lower part of the face oval or 
ovoid, not square. The deep depression at the eyes, and sinking in 
of the root of the nose» gives a very remarkable character to the head 
compared with the Malay. The projecting brow is in a vertical Ike 
with the nose, mouth, and chin, and the upper jaw is not projecting 
or prognathous. The person is slender, the belly protuberant, owing 
to their aninial life in the jungles, and precarious food. This indaces 
them to cram themselves whenever tbey caiL, and the skin of the 
abdomen thus becomes flaccid aud expansible, like that of an ape. 
The skin generally is Hue and soft, although often disfigured by 
scurf, aud the colour is a dark bro\\Ti, but In some cases lighter, and 
approaching to the Malay. The more exposed hordes are black. 
The individual who, many years ago, was brouglit to Pbang, and 
who has hitherto represented the race in European etbnolog}', pro- 
bably belonged to such a horde. His lips were thick, and Mr. 
Anderson says he exactly resembled two natives of the Andamans, 
who wer« brought to Pkiang In 1810. Mr. Anderson adds tliat a 
Simang of Tringanu, who Uved iu Pinang, was 'not of such a jet-
