script and present it in some sort of tabular form. For 
this purpose the various tributes have been divided 
into the following sections : - 
.A., A n n u a l Tributes. 
u. Special Tributes. 
This latter section has again been iib-divided into 
four headings thus 
(i) Personal Tributes. 
(ii) Tributes due on the death of a Sul lan. 
(lii) Tributes paid on appointments of Delhi etc., etc. 
(iv) Presents given to the Sultan on visiting Brunei. 
In addition to these headings a few r notes of interest 
have been added, viz. 
( a.) The Rewards paid for the return of escaped slaves. 
(b.) The division of the Districts under their feudal 
chiefs. 
The description of this last item is by no means clear, 
and I can only hope that the solution here given is that 
intended by the original author.

bang an,-bang icnan means a tower of a fort, and possibly this is the derivation 
of the word used here. 
9 .—Lajang 6 jengkal peunjang. Lajang is an obsolete word which is re- 
placed now by the word tanipin meaning a leaf packet made of daun a pong 
or leaves of the nipa palm (Nig) a fra,tic art s) ; its size varies, but its length is 
usually 2A feet. 
Formerly a tarnvin -was supposed to contain 40 caries—(about 53g lb. 
avoirdupois). 
1 jengkal — 1 Icilan — 1 span — about 8 inches ; so a lajang of this size was 
larger than a tampin and would contain probably Go catties (about 87 It),)
