Of these three sections of Oceanic Far East only Malaysia has a record extending over centuries. The history of the other two, till the white sea-going races began to settle among them, is inferential, conjectural. A doubt was suggested whether New Zealand should be attached rather to Australia than to Oceania, for the reason that it has developed into one of the group of autonomous states which make up so large a portion of the British Empire; but this consideration must clearly yield to those based on geography and ethnology.
