Made of light wood to represent a squirrel with movable limbs, mounted 
upon a stick. When the stick is waved to and fro the squirrel flies backwards 
and forwards, striking the stick ; or the stick may be struck against the palm 
of the left hand. This instrument was made by a Malay after the fashion of 
the movable toy animals used by Malay and Siamese children in the Patani 
States, but he affirmed that the Semangs of Rhaman used these in their musical 
entertainments, for beating time to the music and setting the rhythm, in con¬ 
junction with Nos. 41 and 46. 
41. Musical Clapper. Malay name, genggong Sakai. K. Jarum, Rhaman.

Made from a cylinder of bamboo, fifteen and a quarter inches long, one 
and three-eighths inches wide. For half the length, two portions of the bamboo 
are cut away, so as to leave two long and nearly flat vibrating tongues. On 
either side of the cylindrical part of the bamboo an elyptical hole is cut through, 
about four and a half inches from the end and at right angles to the plane of 
the two tongues. The bamboo between the holes and the bases of the tongues 
is split. The instrument is struck upon the thigh, the split edges being thus 
caused to jar together, and the two tongues to vibrate. The sound is modified 
by closing one or both of the lateral holes. This instrument was made 
by a Malay, who said that it was used by the Qrang Sakai (V.e., Semangs') of
