Man [=JRAI] 2: 52–57 — clarifies the circumstances leading to the appearance of an Aslian word list in Ling Roth’s The Natives of Sarawak and British North Borneo. The list was inadvertently included in the Roth book because it had been found among the Borneon papers of the deceased collector, Brooke Low.
