thus “ B’Sadong ” means the people living at the foot 
of Saciong Hill, in this case the Bukar people (i.e., of 
Lauchang, Mungo Babi, etc.), who call themselves 
B’Sadong ” or “ orang Bukar.” 
In contradistinction to the Dayak B'Lundu who 
dropped their old name (whatever it was) and became 
known by the name of the place to which they migrated, 
we get the Serin Land-Dayaks, who moved many 
years ago from the Serin River in Upper Sarawak across 
country to the Samarahan River, retaining that name 
by which they were known in the place from which 
they migrated. 
Sent Mi does not seem to have given rise to any 
other large settlements except that of Quop ; though 
two small houses must be mentioned of quite recent 
origin; both near Sentah; these are S’krak, founded 
about 10 years ago, and Batu. Both of these were 
formed by small parties going out from Sentah to the 
farming-ground and making temporary houses which 
afterwards became permanent residences. 
Quop. 
The Quop people (“ Kuab” in Dayak, meaning 
unknown) owe their origin to a party of Dayaks from 
Sentah who went to Quop Hill (about 2 hours’ walk) 
to farm, intending to return to Sentah after the paddi 
.season. Sir James Brooke however ordered them to 
make a settlement there on Quop Hill. This they 
were afraid to do because of the Malays near by who 
seem to have been hostile and oppressive. Accordingly 
the Rajah sent up other Malays of a friendly disposition 
and thereupon these Sentah Dyalis built their house 
on Quop Hill. 
Si* Jugnr was appointed Orang Kaya and Mapamoie 
made Temonggong. Disaster overtook the new settle¬ 
ment in the shape of cholera and small-pox which 
terribly reduced their numbers. Disheartened by this, 
the survivors wanted to return to Sentah, but under 
the orders of Mr. Grant of the Sarawak Government 
*The prefix “Si" may be translated as “Mr.’’, and is possibly 
the same as “Che’’’ in common use in the Malay Peninsula for the 
respectful designation of a person. It is curious, however, that the 
prefix “ Si ’’ is also used in that part, but more as a term of contempt 
or familiarity, according to Wilkinson’s Malay-English Dictionary.
