igiS-] C. B. Kloss: Measurements of Sungkai Sakai. 73 



sapling fitted with an iron head. Here was obtained a 

 beautifully ornamented blow pipe and a quiver with a slightly 

 conical cover, both made by one of this party. The maker 

 (a Mai Darat Senoi) stated that blow pipe covers are made by 

 individuals to suit their own fancies, either like this specimen 

 or with the flattened tops as seen in the other groups. These 

 people wore clothes (jackets and trousers) and had attained a 

 social state which they were superficially at any rate most 

 unattractive, the reason given by one man for a shaven head 

 was that previously bugs had worried him unbearably. 



Nos. 36 — 39. 



Came into Slim from the hills. Three out of the four 

 were more or less clothed in Malay cotton garments. 



Nos. 40 — 52. 



Came into Slim from the Sungei Muda. Except for the 

 headman, who wore a wreath, the males were undecorated save 

 for face paint. The costume and ornaments of the women 

 resembled those of the Jeram Kawan Sakai but they had, in 

 addition, lavishly ornamented their heads with pink Ixora 

 flowers. With regard to face painting, combs and blow-pipe 

 patterns it was stated that these were used at will and that 

 whatever was fancied was drawn. No patterns were private 

 property, none had any significance however used, being 

 merely ornamental to suit the maker's taste and all had been 

 employed from time beyond memory. Faces are painted for 

 songs, weddings and any occasions of a ceremonious nature 

 (such as a visit to a European). There were no dances. 



No. 53. 



From Sungei Kol above Sungei Muda. The only member 

 of the group (three klamin, one penghulu) inhabiting that 

 locality remaining, the rest having crossed the hills for a long 

 visit to Pahang. •
