over the borders ht !I. place named Siroatau, near the Sidin village, tbese Pa. Aim, who lives there himself, has promised to bring back after the harvest. I was p1eased at my rece p tion by the TrinO'O'us Dyaks, having been 00 . given to understand that on former visl~s 0f Government officials mo&t of the people retIred into the jungle, though probably there is so~e exaggeratiou in this; certainly such Wn!!not my experience. . .'. The walk from Tringgus toG:ombang IS faIrly good, there is only one steep hilI (Temedak) to overcome. At Gombang there are 5.2 doOl's ann there are 12 doors of the snme people Jiving on the left hand branch of the Snrawak river below Gadiu. These Dyah are also without a hend man, their last Orang Kaya died a few months back. . One Pengllra China (a shallow minded, talkative oJd man) is at present acting as chief. I could not get these people to make any defi. nite choice of a new Orang Kaya though I fancy the choice will full on ei ther Pako, the i late Orang ICaya's "on-in-law, 01'Kadut, Oraug Kaya Pesama's son-in.law.
