Abstract
PROF. FLOWER, in his interesting lecture on “The Pygmy Races of Men” (Journ. Anthr. Inst. vol. xviii. p. 82, 1888, and NATURE, vol. xxxviii. p. 67), after having spoken of the Negritos in the Philippines, says, apparently on the authority of Quatrefages: “As the islands of these eastern seas have become better known, further discoveries of the existence of a small Negroid population have been made in Formosa, in the interior of Borneo, Sandalwood Island (Sumba), Xulla, Bouron, Ceram, Flores, Solor, Lomblem, Pantar, Ombay, the eastern peninsula of Celebes, &c.”
