XII. SOME SEMANG VOCABULARIES OBTAINED 

 IN PAHANG AND PEKAK. 



Vocabulary I. — Pangan of Cheka, Central Pahang. 



This vocabulary was taken by I. H. N. Evans, the tribe 

 speaking it being described in No. 4, Vol. V. of this Journal. 



Vocabulary II.— Semang of Ijok, Selama. North 

 Perak. 



Taken by H. C. Robinson and C. B. Kloss in April 1909: 

 vide No. 4, Vol. V. 



Vocabulary III.— Orang Bukit of Lenggong, Upper 

 Perak. 



Taken by H. C. Robinson and C. B. Kloss at Ijok, Selama, 

 in 1909. The people are described bv I. H. N. Evans, in No. 

 2, Vol. V. 



Vocabulary IV. — Sakai Jehehr of Temengoh, Upper 

 Perak. 



The Sakai Jehehr appeared to us nearly pure Negritos and 

 are fairly numerous in the neighbourhood of Temengoh, 

 living in a state of absolute dependance, hardly to be disting- 

 uished from slavery, on the local Malays. We could see no 

 characters which would differentiate them physically from 

 the Semang of Ijok except that on the whole they are perhaps 

 a somewhat taller and more robust race, perhaps less affected 

 by kurap. 



The vocabulary was taken at Temengoh on July 9th, 

 1909 and checked from a second member of the tribe a fev.' 

 days later. The Ethnology and physical anthropology of the 

 tribe have been dealt with by Dr. Annandale and one of us 

 and photographs of the people reproduced [Fascic. Malay. 

 Anthropology, Part i. pp. 27, 28, 112, 159-162 (1903)]. 



Vocabulary V. — Sakai Tanjong or Sakai Jehehr Blukar 

 of Temengoh. 



This vocabulary was taken by H. C. Robinson and 

 C. B. Kloss at Temengoh in July 1909 from a small tribe of 

 six men, who visited that village. In complexion and skin 

 they were very dark, almost chocolate, with very broad nose, 

 prognathism was slight and the oldest man had a very wedge 

 shaped face, was relatively very tall and had grizzled hair. 

 One youth was very much yellower than the others, with 

 more oval eyes, possibly indicating an admixture of Chinese 

 blood. His colour was practically identical with that of the 

 local Malay. 



Vocabulary VI. — Sakai Tanjong or Semang Paya. 



Elicited from a party of half a dozen men met at Grik 

 Rest house by H. C. Robinson and C. B. Kloss. They 

 appeared to be physically true Negritos and ranged from Betong 

 in Rhaman to Lenggong west of the Perak River.
