TOUR FROM SOURABA.YA, THROUGH KEDIRI, &C. 81 
creature sketched in Raffle’s Java, on the plate, u Subjects in 
Stone” facing page 44 of vol, 2nd. From the waist upwards 
it represents a handsome young woman with prominent 
breasts, the lower part is chiselled in scales, and instead or 
legs, the body turns at right angles backwards and ends 
partly in a tail of scales with a tufted terminal fin, both 
below and above which straight lines of feathers are seen, 
as if it had been wished to be shown that the possessor had 
both the faculty of swimming and flying. Wait ala in 
Clough’s Dictionary is given as u morning, day-break 
and may have become Waito in Javanese by the elision oi 
the final la and turning the a into o : with Dewi prefixed, it 
would then mean the goddess of the Dawn. The figure 
does not appear to have been a statue in a temple, but an 
ornamental stone let into some wall or building. Exami¬ 
ning round the mound on which it stands, you may, 
amongst the rank vegetation, perceive that it is on an 
elevation that has originally been built up with hewn stone, 
and perhaps both figures are the remnants of some building 
which formerly stood here. Menak Jinggo may have been 
the guardian or door-keeper to the temple, and Dewi Waito

power both of flight and swimming. Learning from our 
attendants that a gopura, or gateway, was to be seen at a 
short distance in the forest, we made them conduct us 
thither: the general direction lay still south east from the 
tank and our way was over cleared ground that had lately 
been cultivated, and round some patches of sawah formed 
in the hollow, along the course of a rivulet called the Kali 
Eelem, the water of which had formerly been made available 
for feeding the tank. We here had a fine view of the 
hills to the south of us, which are those which run out west 
from the Arjuno, and separate Mojokerto from Malang. 
To the part nearest to the Arjuno, the natives gave the name 
of “ Indora Wati,” and to some jagged and fantastic peaks 
a little more to the westward, “ Gunung Semar.” At a 
distance, natives can seldom give you the name of this 
range, and at Antang, at its western extremity, they apply 
the name of Indra Wati, to a smallish hill above the Pasang- 
rahan Majapahit is situated 4 or 5 miles from the foot ol 
the hills, and just on the neck of land which is nailowest 
between them and the Kediri river. After a while, we 
crossed the Kali Pelem, a small stream of clear water and 
whose name implies « Manggo River,” and which now
