Abstract
III. IN the accompanying series of illustrations the late King of Camboja (Fig. 14) and the Stîeng of the forest region east of the Me-Khong, between 12°–13° N. lat. (Fig. 15), may be compared, on the one hand, with the famous statue of the leprous king, Bua-Sivisi Miwong (Fig. 16), the traditional builder of the temple of Ongkor-Vâht, and on the other with the first King of Siam and his late Queen (Figs. 17 and 18). Here the resemblance of Figs. 14, 15, 16 to the European type and difference from the Mongoloid Siamese (17 and 18) is too obvious to need further comment. For these illustrations from Mouhot's “Travels in Siam, &c.,” I am indebted to the courtesy of the publishers, Messrs. Murray, Albemarle Street.
