Indonesian \In`do*ne"sian\, n.
   A member of a race forming the chief pre-Malay population of
   the Malay Archipelago, and probably sprung from a mixture of
   Polynesian and Mongoloid immigrants. According to Keane, the
   autochthonous Negritos were largely expelled by the Caucasian
   Polynesians, themselves followed by Mongoloid peoples of
   Indo-Chinese affinities, from mixture with whom sprang the

   {Indonesian race}.

            The term Indonesian, introduced by Logan to
            designate the light-colored non-Malay inhabitants of
            the Eastern Archipelago, is now used as a convenient
            collective name for all the peoples of Malaysia and
            Polynesia who are neither Malay nor Papuans, but of
            Caucasic type. . . . The true Indonesians are of
            tall stature (5 ft. 10 in.), muscular frame, rather
            oval features, high, open forehead, large straight
            or curved nose, large full eyes always horizontal
            and with no trace of the third lid, light brown
            complexion (cinnamon or ruddy brown), long black
            hair, not lank but often slightly curled or wavy,
            skull generally brachycephalous like that of the
            melanochroic European.                --A. H. Keane.

            The Indonesians [of the Philippines], with the
            tribal population of some 251, 200, live almost
            exclusively on the great island of Mindanao. They
            are not only physically superior to the Negritos,
            but to the peoples of the Malayan race as well, and
            are, as a rule, quite intelligent.    --Rep. Phil.
