THE TAKING OVER OF REMAN. 153 



Samaga&a Pass, the route taken on my first visit, we reached 

 Betong at 1 p.m., on Monday, the 19th. 



On the 20th Mr. Berkeley and the Ampur settled the new 

 Perak boundary in accordance, with instructions, the great 

 local knowledge of these officers rendering the task one of no 

 great difficulty. A copy of this settlement is appended to 

 this account. 



On the 21st of July we left Betong early, and travelling 

 via Lapang Nenering, the Kwa river, Plang, Krai, Jong, 

 Krunei and Pahat, a route which I have previously described, 

 we reached Grit at midday on the 23rd July. 



By this journey, which occupied altogether ten days, of 

 which seven were spent in travelling by elephant, we made a 

 complete circuit of the great mountain of Kendrong, 4,000 feet 

 high, which stands up so prominently over Grit. 



The distance from Grit to Klian Intan by the way we 

 went is 22 miles. That route will be abandoned except for 

 the first portion of nine miles which takes you to the halting 

 bungalow at Ulu Kendrong. At that point there is a turn-off 

 to Asu and Pong, two villages inhabited by Siamese on the 

 Kedah border. 



The proper route from Grit to Klian Intan is that which 

 passes Krunei and Jong: a thorough examination of the 

 country for a good rideable bridle-path is being made.
