TIMOR.
Proceeding Eastward and passing over the islands of Lombok, Sumbava, and Flores, following in the order here enumerated to the Eastward of Java and Bali, we come to the isiaud ofTiwor, which from its animal and vegataWe produplionp and from the different races of men by which i( is inliabiied, partakes of the nature, as well of the South Sea Islands as of the Indian Archipelago. Timor is inhabited by fdnr principal races. The original natives, who resemble in many respects the Eastern negroes, dwell chiefly in the mountains of the interior, whither they have lied for refujg. The Malays who settled on the coasts, Wine from the West, probably from Java. The Chinese have been long established in considerable numbers in Timor, where, as in the other islands of the Archipelago, they display great skill and perseverance in traffic. The Portuguese who in the 16th century settled in Timor, by their long residence iiithe island and intermarriages with the Natives produce the black Portuguese who are chiefly to be found in the Northern portion of xhe island, As the Dutch form a very distinct Variety of the European race from the Portuguese whom they supplauted in the island, iheir intimate connection with the Malays has produced another variety differing from the Portugese blacks.— World in Miniature,
