The above-mentioned skulls and horns came from the jungle regions of the upper Rajah River, inhabited by the Kyans, a dangerous race of people, very distinct fron the Dyaks. These Kyans procure the horns for barter, for which they receive a high price from the Chinese, who import them to China for medicine. The horns are ground into powder for some diseases, while others are cut into minute fragments to carry about the person.
