350* remarks on THE S LET Alt AND SABIMRA TRIBES- 
is such races as these that call for missionary enterprise. Their 
close relations with the Malays have given them a taste for dress, as I 
found them wearing cloth instead of the bark of trees. The women 
were dressed in sarongs in the manner of Malayan women, but the 
men only wore a strip of cloth of scanty dimensions, round the middle 
and passing between the thighs. Their address was open and simple, 
their demeanour respectful. The Malays spoke of them as being little 
better than baboons, and treated them as a much inferior class to them¬ 
selves. The Malay women of the house in which I was afforded 
shelter commanded their less fortunate sisters in a manner not to be 
mistaken, and this was allowed as a matter of course; it afforded con¬

selves they sat themselves where they could best gratify their own

Their physiognomy you have already described ; the reader is there¬ 
fore referred to the plates annexed to this paper for further informa- 
tion. 
Plate No. 1. represents six heads of the river nomades, and though 
coafrsely executed they may still be offered as correct portraits of 
the originals. Fig. 2. gives the facial outline and skull of a Boy of 
the S14tar tribes who possessed in rather an exaggerated degree the 
marked peculiarities of the physiognomy of his race, and in order to 
sender such peculiarities palpable to the eye of the observer I have 
enclosed the outline within a square constructed in tlie following man¬ 
ner. The lower containing line of Camper’s celelu-ated facial angle 
draw 7 n through the meatus auditorius to the base of tire nose is taken 
as a basis, this line is produced either way until lines at right angles 
to it touching the posterior and anterior parts of the head and face 
w ill intersect it. The line contained between those points of inter¬ 
section is then bisected and upon it are formed four equal squares, two 
enclosing the superior part of the head and two the inferior and to¬ 
gether making the large containing square above mentioned; three of 
fhese squares are again divided each into one hundred equal parts, and,
