The part of Borneo described by Mr. Evans is that which is under the control of the British North Borneo Company, and the peoples with whom he deals are three in number: the Dusuns, an Indonesian people speaking a Malayo-Polynesian language, who inhabit the interior; and the Bajaus and Illanuns, immigrants of Proto-Malayan stock who live on the coast. Mr. Evans is a careful observer, and his experience as an official of the company enables him to speak with authority. On many points he is able to correct or supplement our previous information. The peoples he describes present marked contrasts, both in temperament and in culture. The Dusun is an agriculturist, in the main industrious, living in independent village-communities, each under a headman. In religious belief he is an animist, and has a strong and abiding-faith in omens. The coastal peoples, on the other hand, are indolent and inveterate gamblers, who, now that their former chief industry—piracy—has been suppressed, earn their living from the sea. They are Mahommedans, but lax, and their religious beliefs embody many survivals of primitive beliefs, of which, unfortunately, Mr. Evans had opportunity to collect only a few examples.Among Primitive Peoples in Borneo: A Description of the Lives, Habits and Customs of the Piratical Head-Hunters of North Borneo.I.
