Samang &c.—The statement that these are the Orang Udai is inaccurate. For further notice of the Samang see Newbold's Indian Archipelago; a work not known to me when my paper was written. The ethnology of the Orang Benua is fully illustrated in the Journal of the Indian Archipelago. They are all Malay.
Sumatra.—This island gives us certain tribes ruder than others—not blacker; at any rate no Negritos.
The same applies to Borneo; where there is plenty of barbarism but nothing Negrito.
The same to the Sulu Archipelago.
The Manillas.—Specimens of four of the so-called Negrito languages are to be found in Steen Bille's Voyage of the Galathea (Vol. III.); headed, (1) Umiray, (2) St. Miguel; (3) St. Matheo and (4) Dumagat. They evidently belong to the same group as the Tagal.
Formosa and Loocho.—The criticism that applies to Borneo and the Sulu Archipelago applies here.
For Timor, Ombay &c. see the next paper.
The language of the Arru islanders is not mentioned; indeed in 1843 no specimens of their language had been published. Since, however, a good account of them has been given by Windsor Earl. Their language contains much in common with the languages of the islands to the west of them, whilst in physical appearance they approach the Papuans. They present, in short, transitional characters—Journal of Indian Archipelago, and The Papua Races.
New Britain &c.—For Louisiade forms of speech see the next paper but one; for those of New Caledonia &c. see the fourth.
The Fijis.—The language of the Fijis is Polynesian.
