Many of these have the Portuguese physiognomy strikingly preserved, but combined with a skin generally darker than the Malays.

Some national customs are retained, and the Malay, which is their only language, contains a large number of Portuguese words and idioms.

The third race consists of the Galela men from the north of Gilolo, a singular people, whom I have already described; and the fourth is a colony from Tomore, in the eastern peninsula of Celebes.

They have a very light complexion, open Tartar physiognomy, low stature, and a language of the Bugis type.
They are an industrious agricultural people, and supply the town with vegetables.
