1920.] I. H. N. Evans: Cave-dwellings in Pahang. 45 
Its roof was blackened by smoke and the floor was strewn 
with the hard shells of k&payang fruits, which proved that the 
place had been inhabited fairly recently. A further examina- 
tion of the floor by scraping with our ‘‘ changkols’’ showed 
that there were only a few inches of dusty deposit covering 
the limestone rock. In this we found some bones, which 
looked fairly new, fresh-water shells (Melania) and three small 
fragments of black stone. I scarcely dare to call these last 
bulbs of percussion—of having been struck off from larger 
pieces by human agency, but it is worth noting that their mate- 
rial was of the kind from which stone implements are frequently 
made, and, that the pieces, being of non-local rock, must have 
been brought to the spot. 
In the small cave below the front entrance to the Kota 
Rawa were the ashes of recent fires, and on digging a little 
in these we found a few bones of small mammals, shells of 
képayang fruits, and a worn-out iron chopper- (golok) blade. 
After exploring the Kota Rawa we paid a visit to 
another cave at the base of the hill, which is, I believe, called the 
Kota Glap—our coolies were not very sure of the names of the 
caves, since they were not particularly well acquainted with 
the neighbourhood. The Sungai Batu, a small river, washes 
the edge of, and in places partly invades, this cave, and it was 
evident from the deposits of sand which we saw, that in times 
of flood most of the cave-floor is submerged, 
The Kota Glap—the name means ‘‘ the dark fort,” 
though it is not particularly dark —had been recently occupied 
by rattan-gatherers, whom my coolies said were Malays, strips 
of cane, which littered the ground, bearing witness to the 
nature of their employment. Some trial excavations made in 
the floor of the cave yielded no objects of interest. 
I could not find out from my men what was the name 
of the hill, or rather hill-range, in which these caves were 
situated. Mr. I. Wray in speaking of the neighbourhood 
refers to “‘ the caves in a limestone hill called Kota Gélanggi,”’ 
but I was told that the Kota Gélanggi, the entrance to which 
ameron in his paper “‘ Kota Glanggi’’ in ‘‘The 
Todbaal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Straits Branch.’’!

sib Tongket, Kota Burong, Kota Glanggi and Kota Papan. The Kota 
my return to Headquarters—is, he says, reached thro ugh a part of the Kota 
Tongkat though ‘*no one unacquainted with the pet would ever guess 
that there was a cave here.” It appears to be a dar
