[863] Speaking of the Santals, Sir W. W. Hunter remarks ('Rural Bengal,’ vol i. p. 205), ‘In the tropical forest, a youth of sixteen or seventeen is as able to provide for a family as ever he will be; and a leaf hut, with a few earthen or brazen pots, is all the establishment a Santal young lady expects.’ This holds good not only for the savages of the tropics.
