2. Sea Dayak:. 
The term Sea Dayak * * * § is adopted as a collective name 
for an extensive group of tribes, whose proper territory 
extends from the mouth of the Sadong Eiver to that of the 
Rejang, and thence eastward, in the district of both rivers. 
On the north they are in contact with the Milanos, on the 
east with the Kay an s, and on the south they extend into 
Netherlands territory. But the chief settlements are along 
the Batang Lupar, Saribas, Kalaka, and Rejang Rivers and 
their tributaries. Each tribe names itself as a rule after 
its river, or district, and hence there is some difficulty in 
determining the connections and subdivisions of the people. 
Messrs. Howell and Bailey f distinguish five groups on 
the Batang Lupar and Saribas, each consisting of two 
tribes :•— 
1. Balau and Undup, on the rivers of the same names, tribu¬ 
taries of the lower Batang Lupar. 
2. Sarebas and Skarang, on the rivers of the same names. 
3. Batang ai, i. e. inhabitants of the main stream [ of the 
Batang Lupar, and the Lemanak on the river of the 
same name. 
4. The Sabuyau, formerly on the Sabuyau River, now also at 
Lundu, and the Bugau, living beyond the Kalingkang 
Hills in Netherlands territory. 
5. The Ulu Ai occupying the upper waters of the Batang 
Lupar, and the Engkari. 
Hose § enumerates the Balau, Undup, Skarang, and 
Batang Lupar Dayaks of the Batang Lupar region, the 
Sarebas, Kalaka, Lamanak, and Katibas Dayaks of the 
Rejang River, and the Dayaks of the Kapuas River in 
Netherlands Borneo. 
Mr. C. A. Bampfylde gives me the following note on the 
foregoing There is no more difference between a Seka- 
rang and a Saribas Dayak than there is between a Somerset 
and a Devon man. Linguistically there is none between 
the Sekrangs, Lemanaks, Saribas, and Batang Ai. The 
Ulu Ai (the same as the Katibas) have the same language 
with a harsher pronunciation. The Engkaris differ only 
in respect to the letter r which they cannot pronounce, and 
for which they substitute an h, as bahoh for haroh (below). 
* The name is often spelled Dyak ; German, Dajack ; Dutch, Dajak.
