arc firm but thick. The jaws a little prognathous, but the firmness 
of the lips diminishes the effect. AVhen viewed in profile the fea¬ 
tures seem to be arranged on a curve.* The man has a beard of 
straggling and coarse white hairs, which is stronger than that which 
Malays generally possess who allow the beard to grow. Each 
shoulder has a band of similar hair, but that upon his person gene¬ 
rally is not remarkable. 
Ilis shoulders are narrow and arms fleshless, approaching in 
this respect to the Australians. The woman's face is very broad 
across the cheek bones, so as to present the most Mangolian of 
all the heads. 
Both individuals at first seemed without ideas, and averse to 
conversation. The man when questioned answered, and to a certain 
extent overcame his reserve. In the evening of the second day 
he became very loquacious under the influence of a glass of 
cherry brandy, and has since been communicative. The woman 
sits with her eyes fixed on the ground, and her face wearing an 
expression of hopeless stupidity. No smile, no glance or mo¬ 
tion betraying the presence of thought or feeling, has once lighted 
up her settled look of dulness. Her person is loaded with flabby- 
fat, and clothed from the waist to the knees with a dirty sarong. 
A rag scantily covers her bosom. The curved gitta taban handle 
of a parang, which projects above the folds of her sarong tells the 
occupation from which the poor woman has been summoned. 
I reserve my remarks on the language of this tribe and of the 
Beduanda Kallang, 
THE BID U AND A KALLANG OF THE RIVER PULAI IN 
JOHORE. 
ThePulai lies farthest to the west of all the rivers that fall in¬ 
fo the Straits of Singapore from the Peninsula. It derives some geo¬ 
graphical interest from its rising in Gunong Pulat, the most south¬ 
erly mountain, and having its embouchure near Tanjong Bouro the 
most southerly point, of Asia, 
* In the lithograph, (profile No. 8) which is very good in other respects, 
the lips are not sufficiently thick, the general curve too slight, and the 
tower part of the face not sufficiently prominent.
