69 fruit trees, there are doubtless several others the names of which 
I did not obtain. 
Although the lading dees not yield fruit, the Binuas often plant 
young durilns and champadas amongst their potatoes and plantains. 
In after years they revisit the place, and if the trees have grown up 
and hear fruit, they cut down the jungle around and amougst them, 
and reclaim their orchard, or bhtkdr as they term it from its al¬ 
ways returning to a state of lo>v jungle after each annual visit. In 
the forest I passed many of these blukars some of which contained 
durians of great size anti beauty. The durian groves arc frequently at 
a distance of* one or two day’s-walk and even more from the lading, 
and families find it in such cases more convenient and agreeable to 
resort to the groves than to have the fruit brought to them. Slight 
temporary huts are constructed beside the fruit trees, and here they 
pass the fruit season, which lasts from one to two months, and only- 
return when the last durian has been plueked. In one of these 
groves, that of Danlek, where I took advantage of the hut to rest and 
pass the night, there were some smaller huts on the ground which 
appeared to have been devoted to durian eating, for, -while bushels of 
seeds and husks were heaped around it, very few were seen below 
the raised hut. The durian feast is the most joyous season of the 
year, and if the wilder habits of their forefathers still have a poetical 
charm for the Binuas, as appears to be the case, it would not be ea¬ 
sy to picture them in a happier mood than when secluded in such a 
spot as .Danlek, freed for the while from the intrusions and exactions 
of the Malays, and drawing from the pure waters of the Kahlng, which 
runs past the grove, and from the surrounding forest, the cheer of 
the olden time when the Raja Binul ruled the land. A full grown 
durian blukar is the only agricultural property which has any per¬ 
manent value with them, and while neither houses, gardens, rice fieldsj
