4 JOURNEY 



m THE 



MENANGKABAW STATES 



OF THE MALAYAN PENINSULA. 



As I was assured by several persons that 

 a great number of Jakuns were to be found 

 in the Menangkabaw states, particularly in 

 Rumbau and Sungey Ujong', I intended to 

 visit these several states, in order to ascer- 

 tain the true number of these tribes , and 

 in the meantime to examine the chances of 

 success in establishing a Mission amongst 

 them. 



' The infoimation 1 had from several parts made the 

 number of the Jakuns of Sungey Ujori{]f only to amount 

 to seven ihonsand; this information was erroneons, as 

 it vvili he sef>n hereafter.
