THE LANGUAGES OF BORNEO. 
3. Murik. 
The Muriks are also a tribe of the Baram district. Hose* * * § 
associates them with the Bahaus of Baram, Balungan, and 
Apoh Rivers. I collected a vocabulary in 1899, and R. S. 
Douglas has since published a short list.! 
4. Kalabits. 5. Trengs and (6) Muruts. 
1. Kalabit. —The Kalabits are placed by Hose I in one 
group with the Muruts. He names three divisions of the 
former tribe, viz. : (1) Kalabits of the Baram and Limbang 
Rivers; (2) the Lepu Potong between the Upper Baram 
and Limbang, and the interior of Baram; and (3) the 
Libbun Kalabits of Baram. 
The vocabulary of R. S. Douglas§ probably represents 
the first of these divisions. My own list represents the 
language of the Bruang Kalabits, between the Baram and 
the Limbang. Some words have also been recorded by 
J. C. Moulton.|| 
2. Treng. —The Trengs, according to J. C. Moulton, are 
said by their descendants in Sarawak to have once occupied 
the head-waters of the Limbang, Madihit, Tutau, and 
Baram Rivers. They are closely allied to the Kalabits, 
and comprise the three divisions of the Long Patas, Balait, 
and Tabuns. The Balait appear to be different from the 
Pa-Liit. 
Long Patas are in contact with the Lepu Pohun on the 
Baram River ; the Balaits live on the Tutau River, near 
Long Tepin, and the Tabuns on the Malinau and Limbang 
Rivers. I collected vocabularies of all three dialects in 
1899. Some Tabun words have since been obtained by 
Mr. J. C. Moulton.IT 
The Long Pata vocabulary shows a very different lan¬ 
guage from the Tabun and Balait, and also from the Lepu 
Pohun, being closely akin to the Milano Long Kiput. 
The Vocabulary shows the following Treng dialects :— 
1. Balait ... On the Balait River and Upper Limbang. 
2. Tabun ... On the Lower Madalam River. 
3. Murut. —The Muruts occupy the hinterland of Brunei 
Bay, being found chiefly in Brunei and British North
