SUNGEI TENANG, a county in the interior of Suma¬ 
tra, situated between the 2d and 3d degrees of south latitude. 
The access to this territory is extremely difficult, on account 
of the different ranges of high mountains, covered with 
forest trees and thick jungle, that intervene. It is bounded 
on.the north-west by Korinchi and Serampei; on the west 
and south-west by the Anak Sungei, or Mocomoco and Ypu 
district; on the south by Laboon, and on the east by Ba- 
tang Asei and Pakalangjambu. 
The general produce of the country is maize, padi, pota¬ 
toes, sweet potatoes, tobacco, and sugar-cane; and the val¬ 
leys on the whole are well cultivated. The principal part of 
the clothing is procured from the eastern part of the island. 
It is a practice with many individuals among these people 
(as with mountaineers in some parts of Europe) to leave their 
country, in order to seek employment where they can find 
it, and at the end of three or four years revisit their native 
soil, bringing with them the produce of their labours. If 
they happen to be successful, they become itinerant mer¬ 
chants, and travel to almost all parts of the island, particu¬ 
larly where fairs are held, or else purchase a matchlock-gun, 
and become soldiers of fortune, hiring themselves to whoever 
will pay them, but always ready to come forward in defence 
of their country and families. They are a thick, stout, dark 
race of people, something resembling the Acheenese; and 
in general they are addicted to smoking opium. The men 
are very fantastical in their dress. They commonly carry 
charms about their persons, to preserve them from accidents; 
one of which was shewn to Mr. Marsden, printed (at Bata¬ 
via or Samarang in Java) in Dutch, Portuguese, and French. 
It purported that the writer was acquainted with the occult 
sciences, and that whoever possessed one of the papers im¬ 
pressed with his mark (which was the figure of a hand, with 
the thumb and fingers extended) was invulnerable and free 
from all kinds of harm. It desired the people to be very 
cautious of taking any such, printed in London (where, cer¬ 
tainly, none were ever printed), as the English would en¬ 
deavour to counterfeit them, and to impose on the purchasers, 
being all cheats. The houses are all built on posts. Every 
SUN 699

proportion, the wood-work of which is neatly carved. The 
dwelling-houses contain five, six, or seven families each, and

SUNIUM, the cape or promontory forming the southern
