TRANSLATION. 
The inheritance of the lembaga is 
one for the low country district of 
the four and five tribes, and the 
inland district of the four—the five 
tribes up-stream, and the nine 
down-stream. 
The custom sets as the inheritance 
of the lembaga in his tribe, one 
buffalo: the places of his atten- 
dance are, Ist: at marriages and 
weddings, 2nd: at feasts and festi- 
vals, 3rd: at incision and boring of 
the ears, 4th: at circumcision and 
confirmation, 5th: on a formal 
summons, 6th: after a present of 
rice borne of two in the day-time, 
7th : after a present of cakes borne 
of four at night. 
The ceremonial saith, 
moving like ants in file: 
swaying like the poised hawk : 
sitting like the opening flower bud: 
On high the hawk circles for his 
SWoop, 
Close over-head the myna bird begins 
his flight, 
With folded wings as the raven per- 
ches, 
Darting hither and thither like a cat 
playing with leaves, 
Low to earth, like the argus phea- 
sant on his drumming ground.
