The tribes under them are those of Bodoanda, Tannah Dattar, Muncal, 

 and Battu Ballang. 



The forms of government, laws, &c. obtaining in Jellabd are much 

 the same as those of the states already described. Its population, 

 which is divided into seven mukims, is estimated at 3750, not includ- 

 ing the aborigines. 



The produce is gold, ivory, tin, (about 200 picals annually), aloe- 

 wood, jaggery, ratans, &c. ; these generally find their way to the Pa- 

 hang market. 



The boundary marks of Jellabu with Pahang are nine Meranti trees, 

 (Meranti SambildnJ growing on the right bank of the Jellabd river ; 

 with Sungie Ujong, a hill called Bukit Tangoh and Dhalu Karu Bandar 

 Barungan ; with Jompdle, the hill of Bukit Dejala ; and with Calang, the 

 hill of Guinting Perhi. 



Ulu Pahang and Jellye are now tributary to the Bandahdra of 

 Pahang, a chief nominally feudal to the kings of Johdre. Jellye is 

 immediately governed by a Panghdld styled Maharaja Purba. It 

 produces a considerable quantity of gold and tin, which go to Pahang. 

 Both this state and Jellabu, on account of their remoteness from the 

 British frontier, have had little political connexion with the several 

 governments at Malacca.
