XXVI. FURTHER NOTES ON NEGRITO BELIEFS 
AND CUSTOMS. 
By Ivor H. N. Evans, M.A. 
(Plates XVI & XVII). 
This paper is the result of ten days’ work among the 
Negritos of the Ulu Selama Parish of Perak, whom I 
visited for the second time in April, 1921. I have given 
an account of my first visit in a former number of this 
Journal (Vol. 1X, Part I, pp. 1-15) and what I record here 
should be read in ‘conjunction with what I wrote previously. 
With this end in view, I have kept the same sectional 
Sone a as” in the other paper. The Ulu Selama 
most of these being, at the time of writing, in Kedah, 
while the remainder—nineteen in all—are living at Lubok 
Tapah, a Malay village about three miles distant from 
Kuala Bayor. 
e headman of the Kintak Bong at Lubok Tapah, 
known to the Malays as Jarom (needle), but to his own 
people as Mémpélam (mango) was my chief informant, but 
a very useful chorus of Negritos was usually present 
when I was taking my notes, and the members of it did 
not hesitate to interrupt him when he inde mistakes. 
n my former visit Tokeh,’ a Menik Kaien, from whom I 
got most of my information, gave me a li st of some of 
the Negrito groups and their places of residence. With 
much of this information Jarom agreed, but in some 
eases he said that Tékeh was incorrect. He agreed that 
the Menik Lanoh lived at Lenggong, Sumpitan and Kuala 
Kenering,” the Menik Gul® at Ijok, Selama Sub-District, the 
Menik Jehai at Tadoh, Kelantan, and the Menik Kensieu at 
Baling and Siong, Kedah, but he said that Tokeh’s statement 
with about the Menik Kaien was incorrect with regard to the 
1 Still alive. Now at Ijok, Selama Sub-District. He has been with 
me in Taiping for three days since this paper was written. Certain 
fresh information is embodied in the foot-notes, with his name an 
ae ee appen 
se places st in Upper Perak. 
q Recording to Mémpélam, ‘Meni Gul is the name given to the Ijok 
people by the Menik Kaien. The Kintak Bong name for them is Bianok. 
Tokeh (1921) says that the origiual home rsd the Menik Gul was around 
Titi Ijok, on the road from Taiping to Selam
