NOTICES OF THE NORTHERN OR HUTCH HALF OF CELEBES. 6|f5 
the north coast between Quandam and Sumalatte, and at the mouth 
of the Malisipat. 
Salt pans .—There are very considerable ones, formed by nature, 
west of Milandao, but very little used. 
Islands .—There is a large group on the north coast opposite the 
mouth of the Quandam, and in the hay of Tomiui, among which 
may be mentioned as of importance for commerce : Una, Togian, 
Malinche, Walla and Matabella, upon whose large sand banks and 
cliffs a great quantity of trepang and turtles are collected by the 
Bajorese. 
The coast of Celebes on the north, presents every where sands 
and cliffs; and is much flatter to the south. 
Highways .—There are some paths for travellers on horseback 
between Gurontalo, Bolangen, Limbotte, Boni and Bolemo ; also 
some paths over the mountains from Limbotte to Quandam, one of 
which leads right over the mountains Manga (2,000 feet), Pintu be- 
sar and Pintu Kechil; the second turns westward over Gunong 
Tiliule and Marinsu (at a height of 1850 feet). These paths are 
travelled on horseback, though they are highly dangerous. There 
are communications between Boni and Kayu Dipang, as also be¬ 
tween Bolangen and Andagili, but these are only to be passed on foot. 
Productions. —Gold, wax, pearls, turtles, trepang, cinnamon, cof¬ 
fee, (a little), cacao, birds-nesfcs, horses, kapok (cotton from the 
bomhax pentrandum), kapas (cotton from the gossipium herbace- 
um), kain (sarongs), salt, wood (of the latter there are some excel¬ 
lent kinds of iron-wood, Lingoa and Kamuni.) 
Population.—There are probably no aborigines, or only a mix¬ 
ture of these with Bugis and immigrants from Ternate and Tidore. 
The number of the population is very small in proportion to the ex¬ 
tent of ground. It is difficult to form a correct estimate of them, as 
the inhabitants are scattered here and there. Late accounts give, for 
1. Gurontalo. 24,000 souls 
2. Limbotte.. 12,700 „ 
3. Bolangen. 780 „ 
4. Boni. 050 „ 
5. Andagili (with Antingola),. 350 ,,
