206 ETHNOLOGICAL EXCURSIONS IN THE MALAY PENINSULA. 



One day's journey brought me from Tenan (a l^Calay 

 Settlement) to the rivulet Bicko (an affluent of the Batu 

 Pahat). From here I again turned eastwards to the rivulet 

 Lebiu which (changing its name several times) flows into 

 the Sambrau River. Throughout the journey I met with 

 numerous Orang Ulan. From the Sambrau, a tributary of 

 the Indau I reached the Sea. 



This wandering from the mouth of the Muar Eiver had 

 taken 30 days. From Uere I returned into the interior of 

 the Country, and following the course of the rivers Kalian 

 and Made (affluents of the Sambrau) I again met with a 

 considerable number of Orang Titan. Following the course 

 of the river Johor (a district where Chinese have settled in 

 great numbers, I came to Sclat-Tebrau and to Johor-Bharu, 

 the residence of the Maharaja of Johor. This was my excur- 

 sion through Johore (December 1874 — February 1875) on the 

 results of which I have already reported (1). 



I begau the second journey (June to October) by following 

 the old course up to the point where the Sambrau disem- 

 bogues into the Indau. From thence however I turned 

 .westward up the stream of the river Indau, passing the 

 Bulnt Janin (also called Grunorig Indau) and in this trip I 

 again met with, many Orang Utan. 



In consequence of the boundary disputes between the 

 Baiidahara of Pahang and the Maharaja of Johor, which 

 have lasted several years, I was obliged in order to meet 

 the Baiidahara, to turn seawards and go to Pilcan Avhere he 

 resides.* From this place I followed the course of the im- 

 portant river Pahang up to its tributary the Tamilen. Here, 

 as also in the mountains on the frontier of Pahang, Tring- 

 ganu and Kalantan I met with the unmixed Melanesian Popu- 

 lation, the Orang Salcai ; and further up too on the rivulet 

 Areng (an affluent of the River Lebe) I had opportunities of 

 observing a number of them on different occasions. In this 

 district, at the boundary of Pahang and Kalantan, west of 

 the Rivers Tamilen and Lebe, there is, as I believe, the high- 

 est mountain of the Peninsula, which is called Gunong 

 Tahan. Around this mountain, and also further west to- 

 wards Perak as well as northward towards Kedah and 

 Sin^oro there is a district in which there exists on the
