FASCICULI MALATENSES 
166 
A curious point in connexion with our collection of Semang and Sakai 
skeletons is the large proportion of aged females represented. This peculiarity 
does not occur in the Orang Laut Kappir or in the Malayo-Siamese collections, 
and the only explanation that we can suggest is that the Semangs and Sakais, 
ancestor-worshippers as they are, would have objected to our disturbing the 
more powerful ghosts of men in the prime of life. The Orang Laut Kappir 
and the Malayo-Siamese specimens were obtained under somewhat different 
conditions.
