GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLAND OF BANKA. 387 
is safe and open, being close to the western extremity of Pulo Pi- 
nyuso, the island above mentioned. 
Between one and two miles north, a little east, of Tanjong Ru, 
are situated two small high rocky islands, called by the same name 
Pulo Kldppd . In taking a distant view of the numerous rocks dis¬ 
persed through the western portion of the outer bay, many of them 
have the appearance of islands being partially covered with vegeta¬ 
tion. 
Along the eastern coast of the inner bay the most conspicuous 
points are Tanjong Luttong and Tanjong Sumut; and along the 
western coast Tanjong Sunur; the latter extends a considerable 
distance into the bay. (For a more distinct idea of the relative si¬ 
tuation and distance of these different points, as well as of the river, 
to be enumerated in the sequel, I refer to the map.) 
This bay receives a large supply of rivers form all the neighbour¬ 
ing districts, which I shall enumerate in succession, beginning at the 
eastern point of the inner bay, (Tanjong Mantling) A few miles to 
the east-south-east of this point we meet the outlet of the river of 
Pandjie , on a short, abrupt branch of which resembling more an inlet 
than a river on which the stockade and village of Belinyu are built; a 
few miles further south follows the river Pandjie Kddjut, both these 
are of moderate size. The rivers of Rumpd and Dantd are less 
considerable that of Dje Luttung is nearly of the same size as the 
river of Pandjie and that of Lurmit is somewhat larger. Having 
passed the discharge of two small rivers, Sungie Terus and Sungie 
Selajouw, we meet, near the southern extremity of the bay the out¬ 
let of that of Sayang one of the largest of this part of the island. 
Of the rivers which discharge themselves into the western por¬ 
tions of the hay those of Ternium of Sembubur of Sepdng and of 
Anien are most considerable, amongst which the smaller rivers of 
Mdnjang, Bdhdn , Mendk , Kdndis , Sewulcko, Tengalang , of Slim - 
pang and Bdkki flow, likewise into the bay following the coast 
of the bay beyond Tanjong Ru, we meet in succession the out¬ 
lets of the rivers Gemuru, Semulud, Meleto, Klcibbet, Jshupdt. 
Nonok and hemouw.
