fug an angle be low it. The vertical elongation of the upper part 
of the face is a striking feature. If a line be drawn from the 
angle of the lower jaw through the lateral projection of the zy¬ 
gomatic arch to the top of the forehead, the portion above the 
projection greatly exceeds that below it* Thus in Parufs face the 
one is 34 and the other 2J inches, in Tala’s face 4 and 2| 
inches, while in one of the Biduanda Kallang, Saweng, the pro¬ 
portions are reversed* the upper part being 2^ and the lower 3 
in. In Noneng the former is 3| and the latter 3 in. The nose 
in all is small and slightly turned up, and the mouth large. The 
hair falls over the shoulders, and, with one of the men, in a profu¬ 
sion of eurls. 
Figs. 1 and 3 are not sufficiently prognathous. 
The toes ot the Mintira like those of all the tribes of the in¬ 
terior with which I have any acquaintance, arc spreading* so that 
the foot is very broad anteriourly in proportion to its length. 
Other characteristics may be gathered from an inspection of the

THE ORANG SABIMBA OF THE EXTREMITY OF THE 
MALAY PENINSULA. 
Allusion having been made in the preceding paper to the in¬ 
sular tribe who were recently transferred from the island of Battam 
to the southern coast of Johore by the Tamungong, and also to 
the face who frequent the creeks of the same coast, a short 
comparison of them with the Binua may not be without interest. 
Being desirous of assembling individuals of as many of the 
wild tribes as possible under one roof, so as to compare them 
carefully with each other and with the Binud, while my impressions 
of the latter remained fresh, the honorable the Governor, with 
his wonted readiness to encourage and aid enquiries of the kind, 
procured me through the Tamungong a visit from two of the 
Sabimba and four of the Beduanda Kafidng. 
The Sabimba previous to their exportation to Johore by the Ta¬ 
mungong inhabited that portion of the island of Battam which is 
traversed by the stream called the Sungie Sabimba and its feeders. 
They are entirely a forest people, having no ladangs or cultiva¬ 
tion of any kind, and no boats. They arc consequently barbar-
