Hill Tribes in the Chittagong District QNo. 161 



This is, my dear Sir, all the information I could get about the Bunzoo 

 tribe; had I remained longer amongst them, as I intended to do, this 

 people would have given me other details which are desideratum in 

 this imperfect sketch of their manners and customs, but my guide hav- 

 ing taken ill with fever, I thought it was useless to prolong my stay 

 amongst them, being imperfectly acquainted with the corrupted Bur- 

 mese language spoken in the district.
