FASCICULI MALAYENSES

others. We, ourselves, as will be seen later, encountered the same difficulty 
in Selangor, though we have attempted to use the native names whenever 
possible, believing them to be more accurate. Malay names of tribes can 
always be diagnosed by the word orang (people). 
It has already been stated that the people who are called ‘ Orang Semang ’ 
by the Malays of Upper Perak are not Semangs in the sense in which we have 
used the word, and that they are not the tribe that calls itself Seman. The 
Seman, according to our classification, are true Semangs. Now I was told by 
several Malays at Grit, where only the Seman occur, that the ‘ Orang Semang ’ 
called themselves ‘Jehehr,’ but, at the same time, I was told that the ‘ Orang 
Semang,’ or c Sakai Semang,’ were hill-folk, who had no Malay masters, and 
who were not ‘ crested,’ i.e., who did not wear a top-knot. This description 
does not apply to the true Jehehr, but to the P0-KI6, who are said at Temongoh, 
the chief Malay village in the district where they occur, to be the ‘ Orang 
Semang,’ though they are more commonly called ‘ Sakai Bukit,’ or Hill Sakais. 
It may, therefore, be concluded that in this district, at any rate, an ‘ Orang 
Semang ’ is a member of a jungle tribe who has no Malay master, and that 
the name is an indication of social position rather than of race. 
The Po-Klo of Upper Perak (Plates VI, VIII, fig. 2). 
At Temongoh, in Upper Perak, some fifteen men belonging to a tribe that 
called itself Po-Klo, came down from the hills in the vicinity to see me, but, 
unfortunately, I had no opportunity of visiting their camps myself. While 
the majority of these individuals only differed from the Seman of Grit in that 
they were taller and stouter and did not suffer from skin disease, a few were 
very considerably paler in complexion, had hair which was straight, and faces 
of a much less infantile type. Indeed, extremes in both directions existed, for 
while one of the men was more prognathous, had thicker lips and more pro- 
minent superciliary ridges than any other individual whom I saw in the Malay 
Peninsula, another, the head-man of his camp, could not have been distin- 
guished from a Temongoh Malay' except by his dress, and the dirty condition 
of his body. (It must be noted that at this time several of the women of the 
village of Temongoh were pure-blooded Kelantan Semangs, or Sakais closely 
related to Semangs, who had been induced to ‘ enter Islam,’ and that the Malay 
type was rather different there from what it was at Grit). 
The Po-Klo dressed like the Seman, except that several of them had 
procured cast-off clothing from a party of Chinese traders, with whom they 
had recently made friends. I did not see any of the women, but the men
