MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES. 135 



out of a basin in a small granite rock, about 2 or 3 feet above 

 the bed of a small branch or back-water of the Klang on its 

 left bank. The water is impregnated with sulphur, and hot 

 enough to cook an egg or rice in ; we found it too hot to test 

 by hand. On approaching, steam is seen rising a consi- 

 derable height among the trees. A short distance below are 

 two other springs, the lowest being the coolest and oozing out 

 of the mud. Here wild cattle, " Seladang " and other large game 

 came down to wallow in the hot ground, and, so the natives 

 say, to drink the mineral water. The natives themselves bathe 

 in the water and use it as an internal medicine for rheuma- 

 tism, with, they say, good effect. I had no detached thermone- 

 ter to test the temperature of the springs, but I should say, the 

 hottest one was about 180 to 180 degrees; there was some 

 ebulition as of boiling.

 rivers take their rise. 



Here also I secured satisfactory bearings, together with 

 angles of elevation and depth on all prominent points along 

 this section of the main range, and on the principal peaks 

 of the Slim mountains, which are
