bourhood of what was known as the G-alena Mines, on the East 

 coast, has furnished some valuable information regarding the posi- 

 tion of States in that neighbourhood. 



It now appears that Patani is a small State, on the sea coast, 

 to be crossed in a few hours' walk, and that the following more 

 considerable States, hitherto all classed " Patani," viz., Reman, Ligeh, 

 and Sai, lie between it and the head-waters of the Perak river. 



It is probable that Kelantan and Pahang, on the one side, 

 meet Kedah and Perak, on the other, all four States thus meeting 

 within a. very small area, but it is only the people who live on the 

 spot who know anything of these interior limits. 



Five years ago the Sultan of Trengganu and the Raja of Kelan- 

 tan told Sir William Jervois they knew nothing of the interior 

 boundaries of their States, nor even what countries they marched 

 with. 



It is certain, however, that tin raised in Reman goes down the 

 Perak river, and Mr. Bozzolo tells me that, whilst the Perak 

 river from its source for some distance passes through a district 

 inhabited solely by Saheis (wild people), the small States on the 

 other side of the range which divides the source of the Perak from 

 the waters flowing into the China Sea, are thickly populated by 

 Malays, whilst Sakeis are rare. 



xinother geographical fact very recently established is that 

 the State known as Jelly e (more properly Jelai), one of the Negri 

 Sembilan or Nine States, hitherto placed to the North-East of Sri 

 Menanti, as a matter of fact lies to the South-East of that State, 

 is drained by the head-waters of the Johol river (which, after 

 passing through that State, falls into the Sungei Muar) , and is 

 in fact identical with Inas, by which name it is now more com- 

 monly known. 



Lastly, I am told on good native authority that three days' 

 journey up the Pahang river will bring the traveller to the mouth
