GEOGRAPHICAL description op the island op banka. 385 
tremity of the China Sea, which forms the general boundary of the 
island, and encompasses those of the neighbourhood. The Bay of 
Kl&bbet subdivides it into two separate parts or peninsulas, one of 
which I have denominated the loestern , and the other the eastern 
peninsula: these will be described in succession, after those details 
which are of a general nature. 
From the discharge of the river of K&mp&k to point Tanjong Gen- 
ting, the coast forms part of Jehus Bay; here, after the discharge of 
the river of Sungle-bulu, the only place of note is Teluk Nepd , the 
usual anchoring place for small vessels. Pursuing the direction of 
the northern coast to the eastward, we meet the following points 
and rivers, which I shall enumerate in succession, referring to the 
map for their relative situation and distance viz : northward of point 
T&njong Genting, the river Sungie Bombong, point Tanjong Penya- 
bong, the river Dsherinkr t, point T&njong Pamudshaor Pengudsha, 
an island of the same name, the outlet of the river Seka (in a bay 
between the last point and) point T&njong L&y&ng, point Tanjong 
Penambang, two islands Pulo Prut and Pulo Keddik , Pengama river 
(sometimes called the river of Mamp£ng) point T&njong Mappefc, 
the river Dshebu, a small river Sungie Munkus, the extreme north¬ 
ern point Tanjong Si&ngouw, and, after a short inclination of the 
coast E. S. E. the point Tanjong Mellalld, which terminates in the 
north-west the Bay of Klabbet. 
Passing the entrance of the Bay, we meet at its north-east ex¬ 
tremity the point Tanjong Tadd. About a mile, directly to the west 
of this lies the island Pulo Penyuso , (from which sometimes the 
whole bay takes its name) and which directs the course of vessels 
into it. Between Pulo Penyuso and Tanjong Tad&, lies a smaller 
island called Pulo-Tdnjong-Tada. Following the coast from this 
point to the east, about 9 miles, we meet the point T&njong Baht, 
north of which lies a small island pulo Mengkudu , a deep bay be¬ 
tween the last mentioned points, is little known, the extreme point 
in the north about 3 miles further east is Tanjong KrSssak. The 
coast now takes nearly a south-east direction, and after a distance 
of nearly 15 miles, we meet the projecting point Tanjong Tuwing,
