400. HALE, Abraham. 1886. On the Sakais. JAI [=JRAI] 15: 285–301 — an interesting documentation of Orang Asli in the U. Kinta (Perak) area. Among insights uncovered: the territories were in tin-producing areas (the Orang Asli worked the mines and were accustomed to selling tin to the Malays), their villages were close to Malays and there was extensive contact. With information on hunting and fishing technologies, an interesting wordlist taken from a song as it was being performed, and description of a “house-warming” fruit-singing ceremony [LTP]. According to a note in the paper, Hale also supplied an unpublished 200-word vocabulary (later incorporated into Blagden’s comparative vocabulary), which was deposited at the Royal Anthropological Institute.
