“The Commerce of Borneo consists in as rich goods as any in 
the Indies. At Sambas and Suceadana they deal in diamonds, of 
which there is a mine in the heart of the country. These stones 
are generally from four to twenty four carats; but the whole trade 
does not amount to above 600 carats in a year. They always sell 
stones for gold, though that likewise is the commodity of the Island ; 
and there is a very considerable trade for gold-dust carried on at 
Pahang, Say a , Calantan, Scribes , Catra, and Melanouha, Bezoar 
of the finest sort, is another article in their trade, not at all inferior 
in its value to the former. Japan wood, flue wax, incense, marfcich, 
and several rich gums, are also met with here; but, after all, the 
staple commodity of the island is pepper, of which there is as much 
and as good, as in any part of the Indies. Our author mentions ano- 
>in Suceadana.
