MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 281 



" As we neared home, a corps of nine or ten angklong * 

 players met us, for the winged rumor had already preceded us 

 and to the playing of angMongs a circuit of the factory was made, 

 at which the natives became fearfully excited. 



"You are sure to remember that mad gegil f of that time when I 

 came to the house with a toetoel which had stolen a calf from us. 



" When the tiger was laid in our front verandah between the two 

 middle columns, the court was black with men. Good presents 

 were made to all the hunters and trackers, and the angklong play- 

 ers also were not forgotton. 



" This is the history of the rug which is to lie in your bedroom.

I hope that the above particulars, while they may be thought 

 worthy of a mission to the Tijdsclirift van Nijv. en Landbouiv, will 

 convince the readers that for anyone who has the time and strength 

 to devote to it, the toali kambing is an excellent means for getting 

 rid of a number of tigers.

* "Angklong. — A musical instrument made of bambus, cut off at the ends 

 like the pipes of an organ, and being strung together on a frame, are shook to 

 elicit their tones." — RiGG's S. D.
