82 NAMES OF PLACES IN SINGAPORE. 
Mérawang is called Tanjong Kampong, evidently from 
a confusion with Tanjong Karang the next point.

account of the Wharf. The old name of the place is 
Sélintar.

Tanjong Sélinsing. “Sélinsing” is a kind of fish about 
six inches long. It is also a jungle variety of the ~

tion of the native name of the place Térita. “ Térita”’ 
is the small kind of cuttle fish. ‘‘Teregeh” is neither 
English nor Malay, as far as I know.
