I say at least in some of its varieties, because within the narrow range of the Malaccan peninsula and the island of borneo we find no less than three different types.

I believe that when we reach borneo, the equivalents to the Orang Binua, or the original populations in opposition to the Mahometan Malays, become referable to a fresh type, and that instead of being darker than the true Malays they are often lighter.

Nevertheless, as a general rule, the departure from the type of that population is towards darkness of colour on the continent, and towards lightness in borneo.
