extent — situation of their territory. The Menik Kaien, 
used to range from the neighbourhood of Batu 
Kurau - ge and though their name, Kaien, is the same 
as the Negrito name of the Krian River, they never had any 
connection with this stream.! 
The Menik Kaien are now reduced, according to 
his brother. The former has a Lanoh wife and one child 
by her. ‘Tdkeh’s story of there being Menik Kaien on 
the Ayer Sauk and in the Ulu Krian needs further investiga- 
tion. The Ijok Negritos, the Menik Gul, appear to have 
been much reduced by a former epidemic of apart 
them left.3 
Mémpélam supplemented the tribal names given to me 
by Tokeh, to some extent. He told me that the Grik# 
Negritos were called Menik Semnam, and those of Bélukar 
Semang, in Kedah, Menik Hangat. In the neighbourhood of 
the Kupang River in Kedah he said there were Kintak® as 
well as some Kensieu. The Kintak may, perhaps, be equi- 
valent to the Menik Yup, mentioned by my Menik Kaien in- 
y ecleggohs Mémpélam said that he did not know of any such 
group. Other tribal names mention ed by him were the 
Mengos, said to live near Lanih? in Kelantan, the Menik 
Tiong also in that State. He oe referred to several Perak 
Semang-Sakai hill groups, one of which at any rate, is probab- 
ly apochryphal: these were the Menik Lalik (Ulu Temengor 
hills), Menik Chubak® (Ulu Piah), the Pleh, and the Batak."

been mistaken in what he told me befor.
