3. There exists, in Malay, an interesting historical work 
entitled ort Riioes osuhttat-elemans: written an Ay El 
1288, by Raja ALI, of Riouw, which treats of the later history 
of those Malay States, the royal houses of which have been 
founded or influenced by Bugis chiefs from the island of 
@elebes. These include Riouw, Linggi, Johor, Selangor, 
Siak, &c. 
4. Along table of descent is given, which is mostly fabu- 
lous until it approaches modern times. In compiling the latter 
portion, the author has perhaps consulted Dutch publications. 
The admixture of Bugis blood in the reigning families 
of the Malay kingdoms of the Straits of Malacca, seems to 
have commenced in the early part of the 18th century. It is 
related in the native chronicle above alluded to that Upu Tan- 
dert Burong, a Bugis Rajain the island of Celebes (the third 
son of the first Bugis Raja who embraced Muhammadanism), 
had five sons :— 
(1) Daing Peant, from whom (by hts marriage in Sian- 
tak) the reigning family of Siak in Sumatra are 
descended. He also married princesses of the 
reigning Malay families in Johor, Selangor and 
Kedah. 
(2) Dating Menimbun, from whom the Rayjas of Pontia- 
nak, Matan and Brune? are descended.
