for the same purpose, but I did not notice this. Tattooing was 

 observed on one man and one woman, but I do not think that 

 the practice is truly native to the Jehehr, and in the case of the 

 man he told me that it had been done by Hill Sakai, among 

 whom as I shall point out later, I found a very large percent- 

 age of individuals with tattoo marks. The tattoo patterns on 

 the woman consisted of two parallel and vertical lines running 

 from the top of the forehead to the tip of the nose, those on 

 the man of two similar lines from the top of the forehead, but 

 terminating on the level of the eyebrows. The chief weapons 

 in use among the Jehehr are blow-pipes, bows and arrows, and 

 spears. Skeat has described very fully various bows, arrows, 

 and quivers from Upper Perak,* so I do not propose.to enter 

 into these matters at any great length here; but I will record 

 shortly a few points worth mentioning concerning them, under 

 the section of this paper which deals with the Sakai of the hill 

 district, since the bows and arrows purchased from these 

 people were identical with those obtained from the Jehehr, 

 with the single exception that the Jehehr quivers were quite 

 plain, while those of the hill people were decorated with 

 patterns. 



Annandale states that the Jehehr make neither bows and 

 arrows nor blow pipes, but obtain these articles from the Hill 

 tribes, yet the Jehehr told me that they made both, and were 

 capable of hammering out scrap iron into arrow-heads. I did 

 not, however, see any forges in the Jehehr's camps as I did 

 among the Hill Sakai. With regard to the blow-pipes 

 purchased from the Jehehr, out of four specimens, three have 

 an apple-shaped mouth-piece of damav kelulut, the remaining 

 example a wooden mouth-piece of the same shape; otherwise 

 they are similar to those of the Hill Sakai which I describe 

 below. The same thing holds good for the quivers for blow- 

 pipe darts, except in one case where I obtained a specimen of 

 the true Negrito type of dart quiver, i.e., a coverless receptacle 

 consisting simply of an internode of bamboo with a node left 

 at one end to form its bottom. This quiver was ornamented 

 with rudely scratched-in patterns. Sometimes numerous strips 

 of rattan leaf are put into the quivers with the idea of keeping 

 the darts apart. In no case that I saw were the dart-stems 

 notched above the poison, in order that the point might break 

 off in the wound, when an animal was struck. 



Two Jehehr settlements were visited, one of which, on a 

 hill above Kampong Temengoh, was a single tree-dwelling. 

 This was a hut supported on eight small trees, with the floor 

 about fifteen feet above ground-level. Small trees growing 

 together in the most advantageous manner possible had been 

 selected to support the dwelling, and the house was built among 

 their slender trunks much as a bird's nest is built between the 

 twigs of a branch. Access to the hut was obtained by a ladder 

 of several saplings placed side by side. Near Jeram Subang
