88 JOURNAL OF A TRIP TO PAHANG. 
neither of these. I also obtained specimens of several species 
of wasps. After leaving the island, we proceeded a couple of 
miles further up the river, where there was a small kampong. 
The place looked, and proved, a good collecting-greund, both ° 
zoologically and botanically. The country was flat, chiefly 
paddy-land, but now dry, margined with strips of secondary 
forest, and, on the higher and drier parts, everywhere dotted 
with clumps of bamboo. 
The first bird I got was a fine female of one of the serpent 
eagles (Spzlornis rutherfordi). I also noticed a flock of 
the pink-breasted parroqueet (Palzvornis fasciatus). Vultures 
(Pseudogyps bengalensis) were also common. A few Indian 
ravens were seen, but they were not so numerous as at Pekan. 
No snakes were seen here or at any other place visited, but 
at this kampong I shot two lizards—one a species of Varanus, 
which I have not yet identified, and the other a burrowing 
lizard feeding on vegetable substances, and which will pro- 
bably prove to be Liolepis guttatus or a closely-affined 
species. A few insects were obtained at this spot, but none 
calling far particular notice. 
Kelantan differs considerably from Tringganu, in that at 
the latter place fishing seems to be the chief industry. The 
manufacture of sarongs, krisses, &c., is largely carried on, 
while to agriculture but small attention seems to be paid. 
At Kelantan it is different, the people being apparently chiefly 
agriculturists, paddy and coco-nuts being extensively grown, 
Indian corn and tobacco to a lesser extent, and such minor 
products as croton and castor-oil seeds are not overlooked. 
Buffaloes and cattle are numerous, and the sheep ave sheep, 
not the miserable hybrid-looking animals called sheep in 
Tringganu and Pekan. Poultry is abundant, and fine large 
fowls cost about five cents each. Fishing is carried on to 
only a small extent, and sarongs, krisses, &c. are not made, 
these being imported from Tringganu. In Kelantan, as in 
Tringganu, the women, though Mahomedans, mingle freely 
with the men, and are not in the least shy. The inhabitants 
very markedly show the admixture of Siamese blood, and 
this is specially noticeable in the women, who are above the
