Sudin above mentioned. The district of Sungie-bulu. is again sub¬ 
divided into three smaller portions, Sungie-bulu, Lampoug and Tel¬ 
ling, which, with those of M&mpong and Tenga, are united under 
one common chief, the Batin of Sungie-bulu. Their population will 
appear in the general table, and their relative situation will as near¬ 
ly as possible be pointed out on the map. The district of Klabbet 
has its particular native chief. In each of the above mentioned dis¬ 
tricts mines are at present worked : they mostly lie contiguous and 
occupy the central parts of the peninsula. The persons who super¬

at the chief villages of Sungie-bulu, Jebus, Klabbet and M&mgpang,

The eastern peninsula is divided into the districts of Belinifu , Lit-

of the original inhabitants is very inconsiderable. Those of Belinyu 
are considered as following _ the chief of Klabbet; those of Pandjie 
and Mapur are united to the district of Kutto-waringin: and those 
of Marawcmg and Sungie-Uat have their own chiefs.
