Note 248 — Chapter II · GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SLAVERY.
Reading edition
The existence of slavery among the Papuans of the Gulf of Maccluer is made probable by De Clercq’s and Strauch’s notes248. Another author observed slaves in some districts at the south-west side of this gulf; the population of these districts is a mongrel race of Buginese, emigrants from Serang, and Papuans249.
