Abstract
MR. CROCKER mentioned, in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society of London in the beginning of this year, that the Milanows, a coast tribe in North-West Borneo, between Bruni and Tandjong Agri, Sarawak, flatten their heads-by means of pressure in infancy, but not to-the extent of disfigurement, a custom, Mr. Crocker adds, which is peculiar to this, tribe, and occurs nowhere else in the Archipelago.
