4 CURIOUS RACE.
Orang Kooboos.
From Capt. Gibson'S Lecture 6sore the ~
Y. Historical Society,".

from Capt. Gl6Son'S Lecture 6efore the ~.
Y. Historical Society.
These are probably of all the races of
men whom we have any knowledge, the
lowest in the scale of humanity; or rather
the degradibility of our species would
seem to have reached that limit in their
case, which might be regarded as the con-
Meeting link between the human and the
brute creation. They are covered with
hair, have long arms; and are deficient in
chin, or rather it forms no part of the
face-these were the points in their for
nation which first arrested my attention,
and led me to class them at once, as SIM
ply somewhat higher development of
the Ourang Outang. But on further OBJ
servation | found that they possessed
speech, though extremely rude and mo-
nosyllable, had visible faculties, and re-
sembled the rest Of mankind in their sex
ual formation and arrangement, and were
recognized as belonging to the family OF
man by the Malays, who, however, hunt
ed them as wild animals, in order to work
them as beasts of burthen.
The Orang Kooboos are only to be met
with in the almost impossible swamps and
forests that lie between the Jambee and
the Palembang territories, in the Island
of Sumatra. They live among the branch :
es of the teak and marringin trees, which
grow here to an enormous size, as indeed
the case with the forests throughout the
Island. They construct rude platform
of bamboos wherever they can find suf-
fciency of horizontally extending limbs
of tree to serve as the basis or sleepers
of floor, and over this they raise an E.
qually rude comical roof ofsplit bamboos
and coco-nut or pisang tree leaves.--
These sayages are ichtbyophagists, as are
almost all the unciyilzed tribes of the
