examination of these monomaniacs, I have generally found 
them laboring under some gastric disease, or troublesome 
ulcer, and these fearful ebullitions break out upon some ex¬ 
acerbation of the disorder. Those about them have generally 
told me that they appeared moping and melancholy a few 
days before the outbreak. 11 is certainly much to be deplored 
that Monomania amongst the Malays, almost invariably 
takes this terrible form. The Bugis, whether from revenge 
or disease, are by far the most addicted to the "Amok." 1 
should think fths of all the cases I have seen have been by 
persons of this nation. T. Oxley.
