This article presents information about the book "The Head-Hunters of Borneo," by Carl Bock. This work is a semi-official document, as the author was appointed in 1879, by the Dutch Government, to visit Koetei, one of its tributary states, and to furnish the Government with a report upon the native races of the interior, and to make observations upon, and collections of, the fauna of that part of the island. The country, though exceedingly fertile, and apparently rich in mineral wealth, is thinly peopled with a mixture of races, including the aborigines, the Dyaks, Malays, Chinese, and Boegis.
