Madras Government Museum Bulletin, Anthropology Kadirs Of The Anaimarais; Malaialis Of The Shevaroys

About the BookThe author has made a good attempt in striking and pleasant contrast to the suspicious Malaialis, were the friendly Kadirs, who inhabit the Anaimalai hills (= elephant hills) and the mountain range which extends thence southward into Travancore. This study was undertaken with a view to acquiring an addition to our existing fragmentary knowledge of the short, broadnosed tribes of Southern India, round whom, as the living remnant of an ancient, and once more numerous race, much interest will be found to centre when, if ever, these stray notulae are amalgamated in book form. It discusses Kadirs of the Anaimalais; Malaialis of the Shevaroys; Syllabus of demonstrations on anthropology; the Dravidian head; the Dravidian problem. The book is the product of extensive study of this Dravidian race. The subject of the book is very interesting. It contains seven plates to delineate the subject in a proper way. The book is good for common readers.
