TOUR FROM SOURABAYA, THROUGH KEDIRI, & C. 85 
a stream of water running past it from the hills to the 
southward. The name of this place in official language is 
Mojo Agung, being the chief place of the district of the 
same name, and abode of the widono. 
On leaving Mojo Agung, you pass through a fine flat of 
well watered sawahs, but after proceeding westward for 
a couple of pauls, you again find yourself surrounded by 
forest and thickly tangled jungle, where the wild hogs boun¬ 
ced into the thickets at our approach, and the black lutungs, 
in the trees above, grunted an alarm and then gazed at us 
as we passed. The ground is level and rich, and only re¬ 
quires population to increase and spread in order to afford 
a rich homestead for rising generations. The rise is gradual 
towards the foot of the Indora Wati hills, and at Majo 
Agung, the breadth of the plain from the hills to the Kediri 
river is about 20 pauls, and the further you go west, the 
more these two lines diverge from each other, the land 
being everywhere level and little elevated above the sea, 
say not more than 100 feet. To give an idea of what popu¬ 
lation these rich but waste lands could support, it may be 
interesting to quote from the population tables lately pub¬ 
lished in the Tijdschrift voor Neerland’s Indie (9th year 
2nd No.) from which will be s<*n what a dense mass of 
haman beings can find subsistance on these alluvial valleys o 
the Kediri river. The returns are for 1845, and as follows
