The pagan tribes of Borneo; a description of their physical, moral and intellectual condition, with some discussion of their ethnic relations. nt time ;but among the people of the northern districtsindividuals may be occasionally met with whosehair and facial characters strongly suggest an in-fusion of negrito or negroid blood.
