II. FURTHER NOTES ON THE ABORIGINAL 
TRIBES OF PAHANG. 
By Ivor H. N. Evans, M.A. 
River: the last was passed on the Rompin and Endau 
Rivers. At the former I spent my time in collecting articles 
made by the Jakuns who live in that neighbourhood, and in 
finding out what I could about their customs ; at the latter 
I was occupied partly in working among the Malays, partly 
among the Jakuns. 
The Tekam River District. 
In this area I spent a few days on a large aboriginal clear- 
ing, which was situated not very far above Kuala Tekam, and 
cluding an old acquaintance— ; another a settlement of Bera 
Sakai-Jakun, or rather of Sea-Dyaks plus Bera Sakai-Jakun, 
Bera tribe. The population of their settlement consisted 
then of themselves, their wives, and a number of offspring— 
one ot two of the latter being young men of from nineteen 
to twenty-five years of age,—and a few Bera people of un- 
mixed blood. The young half-breeds were extremely in- 
telligent, and, with the exception of two who suffered from 
kurap, of pleasing appearance. Two of the men had been 
decorated by their father with Dyak tattooing, the patterns 
being mostly of the variety called Bunga trong (brinjal 
flowers). I was induced to visit the Tekam River by a story
