Nicobarese

In the same way the Nicobarese, according to Man, can distinguish a member of each of the six tribes of the archipelago by smell.

This man was perhaps, on the whole, the best specimen physically of a Nicobarese that we came across.

He told us, however, that they are similar in appearance to the Nicobarese, but wear garments of rattan and bark only.

He was nursed and buried by the Nicobarese, who would not allow the Indian servants to approach him.

We were told that they are taller, more powerful, and darker-skinned than the other Nicobarese, and also dolichocephalic.
