Reading edition

H. Ling Roth, in xxi. Journ. Anthrop. Inst., 112. The Kayans, one of the peoples of Borneo, employ the teeth of tiger-cats in taking an oath. The person swearing holds the teeth in his hand and calls on them to harm him if he be not speaking the truth. This seems to be another example of the same superstition. C. Hose, in xxiii. ibid., 165.
