The so called rivers in the above list are, I believe, in 

 most, if not all cases, quite inconsiderable streams, and I have 

 been unable to trace them on the map. The aboriginal tribes 

 of the Peninsula have names for even the tiniest streamlets. 



THE HILL-SAKAI (Pis. XXXII— XXXIV.) 



The Hill-Sakai, seemingly the same as the Po-Klo of 

 Messrs. Annandale and Robinson although I did not get this 

 name for them — occupy, according to their own accounts, the 

 slopes of the main lange, both on the Western and Eastern 

 sides. One of their headmen told me that the extreme 

 boundary of their tribe northwards along the range was the 

 Pergau, a tributary of the Kelantan River. " Beyond this," 

 he said, "live the Orang Sabnn," but his description of these 

 people was so hazy that I was unable to obtain any idea as to 

 whether they were Negritos or Sakais. The Kinta River was 

 stated by the same man, to be the southern boundary of the 

 tribe, while locally, in the neighbourhood of Temengoh, the 

 dividing line between the territories of the Jehehr and the hill 

 people is, a Malay told me, a river which he called the 

 Keronang, but which I take to be the stream given on the 

 map as the Kerunai, since it is in about the right position. 

 The Jehehr call the Hill-Sakai, who are known to the Malays 

 as Sakai Bukit, Mendrak Plek {or pi eh), but the only thing I 

 could get from the hill people as a tribal name was Senoi, and 

 Seuoi appears to be simply their word for people (homines). 

 The Sakai of the Sungkai district also use the word Senoi as 

 tribal designation, but if they wish to speak of a white man, 

 a Pahang Sakai etc., thev'say Mai pnteh, a white man; Mai 

 Pahang, a Pahang Sakai; Mai Gop, a Malay. Presuming, as 

 I have already done, that the Hill Sakai whom I met are the 

 same as Annandale's Po-Klo, no doubt he is perfectly right 

 in classing them as Sakai though he seems uncertain whether 

 he should do so, and not as Negritos. He says, however, in 

 speaking of fifteen men who came to Temengoh during his 

 February, 1916. 2
