would have disinherited them quite as surely as British dislike for 
the inefficient. Their genealogy is interesting however on other 
.grounds, as the following table will show: 
Baja Adil 
Baja Hasil, 
Yamtuan Muda, 
of Bembau. 
I 
Tengku Jafar. 
I 
Tengku Timah m. 
of Bembau. 
Tengku Kadim, 
Tengku Ivechil Muda 
of Bembau. 
I 
Tengku Minah. 
m. Tengku Dzia-alam. 
I 
Tengku Ivechil Muda 
m. Che’ Angsa Tengku Laut. 
I 
Baja Husain. 
It is this family which possesses the seals and traditions of 
the disinherited house of Baja Hasil through his grand-daughter, 
Tengku Timah. Xone the less, Baja Husain personally has no 
-claim on the ground of descent from the deposed Yamtuan; and 
even his descent from Baja Adil is not in the direct male line. 
The interest of the Semunyeh-Beranang question is more official 
than historical. Baja Husain never obtained a title from any 
Negri Sembilan chief and has no position, except as a wans , in 
the court, of the Ivlana. 
It remains only to touch on the ceremonial at the Ivlana’s 
Court. 
The Buler’s insignia ( kebesaran ) have been enumerated al- 
ready. 
Those of a lenibaga are : — 
(1) a salute of three guns ; 
(2) a sword; 
(3) a long kris; 
(4) an umbrella ; 
(5) a banner (tunggul) ; 
(6) a pennon ( ular-ular ) ; 
(?) a streamer (awa-awa?) ; 
(8) certain cloth decorations. 
These marks of greatness are common to the lembaga of all 
the Xegri Sembilan States. The duties differed. The great lem- 
baga of Sungai TTjong ( tiang balai) were hereditary territorial 
chiefs and not tribal headmen. They received no fees such as the 
mas tukul lan iak of Bembau, and did not have their authority 
limited to any one tribe.
