20 INTRODUCTION.

Lake Wellington, a missionary in Gippsland, Victoria, |

Mr. Samuel Wilson, a landowner, residing at Langere-

lin, superintendent of the native Industrial Settle-

of Coranderik, Victoria, a teacher at a school where

observations with those made by two other gentlemen
long resident in the neighbourhood. Also from Mr. J.
Buhner, a missionary in a remote part of Gippsland,
Victoria. 1

distinct, with the circumstances recorded under which f

the observations were made. '

The Rajah Brooke has given me some information
with respect to the Dyaks of Borneo.

Respecting the Malays, I have been highly success-

Wallace), during his residence as a mining engineer in
the interior of Malacca, observed many natives, who had
never before associated with white men. He wrote me
