Description of New Species of

Hymenoptera from Borneo.

A—On some new species of Iphiauhx (Braconidae)

from Kuching, Borneo.

By P. Cameron.

I am indebted to Mr. John Hewitt, the Curator of the

Sarawak Museum, for the opportunity of describing the fol=

lowing species of Iphiauhx which appears to be the mostabundant genus of Hymenoptera in Malaya, so far as the

number of species is concerned.

The species may be most conveniently grouped by the

form of the plate on the base of the 2nd abdominal segment.

i. The plate large, triangular, striated, bordered byoblique striae. Ins ignis, Sm., cariniceps, Cam.,octofoveatus, Cam. In this group the 1st abdomi-nal segment is closely longitudinally striated, andthe metanotum is more or less black.

ii. The plate minute smooth, followed by a keel whichextends to the apex of the segment ; the central

part bordered by keels ; the 1st segment keeled

laterally and down the centre. Alienatus, Cam.

hi. The plate moderately wide at the base, becominggradually narrowed to a fine point, then continued

as a keel to the apex of the segment. In this

group the striation does not extend beyond the

middle of the 3rd segment, the following segmentsbeing smooth. There is a distinct keel down the

middle of the 1st abdominal segment and a less

distinct one along the sides. Extrancus, Cam.enrythecus, Cam., and declinatus, Cam,

Jour, Straits Branch R. A. Soc, >~o. 48, 1907,

2 ' HYMENOPTKRA FROM BORNEO,

iv. The plate striated, gradually narrowed to a point

at or near the apex of the segment. The striation

in this group extends to the apex of the 4thabdominal segment. The 1st abdominal segmentis more or less striated and the metanotum is

more or less black ; in longiceps it is strongly

striated. Longiceps, Cam. ; lineativentris, Cam.;

pallidiorbitalis, Cam., which is noteworthy for the

head being largely pale yellow.

Bracon insignis, Smith, Journ. Linn. Soc, 1857, 123.

Iphiaulax insignis, Szepligeti, Termes. Fiizetek, XXIV.372.?

This long-tailed species has been taken by Mr. Hewitt in

September. The 9 is 22 mm. long; with the ovipositor 83 mm;its 1st abdominal segment is closely longitudinally striated

;

the area on 2nd segment is large triangular, ending in a sharp

point, not reaching to the base of the apical third of the

segment ; it is bordered by stronger, oblique striae, the rest of

the segment bears close, more or less interlacing striae ; the

3rd to near the apex and the basal two-thirds of the 4th are

closely striated, the striae radiating from the middle ; the rest

of the abdomen smooth, bare shining. The face is tinged with

yellow ; the head somewhat thickly covered with black pu-

bescence. Basal half of mandibles red, tinged with yellow,

the apical black. Palpi pale red, covered with pale pubes-

cence.

The I. insignis of Szepligeti, quoted above from Java, is

probably different from Smith's insect, from Borneo ; Smithgives the length of the ovipositor as 44 lines ; Szepligeti

gives the length of his insignis as 55 mm. ; the body length

being 20 mm. Of the known Bornean species the present

can only be confounded with I Shelfordi, Cam. (Journ. St.

Br. Roy. As. Soc. 1903, 103), which is smaller (15 mm.), but

with the ovipositor longer (95 mm.), the striation only extends

on the abdomen to the middle of the 3rd segment ; the area onthe 2nd is longer, being twice longer than its greatest width ;

and the sheaths of the ovipositor are broadly white at the apes,

the sheaths in insignis being entirely black. In ins ignis the

1st abdominal segment is more than twice longer that it is

wide at the apex.

^ Iphiaulax cariniceps, sp. nov.

Black, the head, thorax, except the centre of metanotumbroadly, the anterior legs, the middle, except the tarsi, andthe base of hind coxas, red ; wings fuscous violaceous, the

nervures and stigma in part testaceous ; the middle of face

depressed, with a stout keel down the middle, the 1st, 2nd,

the 3rd, except at the apex and the basal half of the 4thabdominal segment strongly closely longitudinally striated

;

the area on 2nd segment triangular, slightly longer than it is

wide at the base ; closely longitudinally striated, reaching to

the middle of the segment. 9

Length 14 mm.,^terebra 42 mm.

Kuching. March.

Face coarsely, rugosely not closely punctured, sparsely

covered with black hair ; the clypeus more closely and finely

punctured. Front broadly depressed, the depression deep,

clearly defined, twice the width of the lateral part, which is

closely, distinctly punctured and sparsely covered with black

hair ; the centre is bare, aciculated, shining. Antennal scape,

shining, bare, not much dilated at the apex, about 3 times

longer than thick. Malar space furrowed, the . depression

much widened below. Thorax smooth, parapsidal furrows

deep ; the metanotum thickly covered with black hair. The1st abdominal segment is fully one third longer than wide, the

basal half with a rounded slope ; the central part of the 2ndis bounded by a keel which converges towards the apex ; the

part bounding the area stoutly, obliquely striated, the part at

its apex is more finely and closely longitudinally striated;

outside the keel is a depression, closely, strongly obliquely

striated, and with a large, almost smooth depression at its

apex ; the outer edge closely, ragosely longitudinally striated.

Suturiform articulation wide, deep, crenulated, widened at the

outer edges ; there is a narrower crenulated furrow at the

base of the 3rd segment. The basal half of the wings has the

fuscous colour suffused with fulvous, the nervures there being

blackish ; the nervures on the apical half are paler, fuscous

in colour ; the basal half of the stigma testaceous, the apexdark fuscous, legs somewhat densely pilose ; the sheaths of

the ovipositor more densely covered with stiffer black pu-

bescence.

The wide triangular area on the 2nd abdominal segmentis rare with the Bornean species of Iphiaulax: It is found

with I. in ignis, Sm.

Iphiaulax octofoveatus, sp. nov.

Black ; the head, thorax and 4 anterior legs red ; the

median segment largely tinged with black ; the middle tarsi

blackish, wings fuscous, the nervures and stigma black ; the

apical half of the 1st, the 2nd entirely and the basal half

of the 3rd, 4th and 5th segments in the centre, coarsely

irregularly rugosely striated, the striae irregular, more or

less broken, the stride on the 2nd stronger and more dis-

tinctly separated ; the area broad, triangular, as long as it is

wide at the base ; a keel as long as itself runs from its apex

to near the middle. The head and mesonotum sparsely, the

metanotum and back of abdomen more densely covered withblack hair. Face rugosely punctured, the centre raised andsmoother. First abdominal segment of almost equal width,

3 times longer than it is wide at the base, slightly, but dis-

tinctly longer than the 2nd ; the segments are all longer

than wide ; the abdomen is 3 times longer than the thorax;

slender ; the suturiform articulation crenulated, not bifurcated

at the apex ; there are oval foveas on the sides of the 3rd to 6th

segments. The hind coxae are longer than usual, almost as

long as the 1st abdominal segment and of almost equal width.

Temples roundly narrowed, as long as the top of the eyes

;

the occiput rounded inwardly.

Length 12 mm.Kuching. July.

the apical narrowed to a point ; the lateral plates are longer

basal ; the transverse median in hind wings is broken not far

from the top of the lower third.

Mesostcnoideus is a Mesostenus with spined metanotum.It may be as well to differentiate it from the Bornean allied

genus Vagcnatha. The differences may be expressed as follows :

Base of thorax above transverse, laterally projecting intostout, large teeth ; metanotum without a transverse keel andno petiolar area ; the lower sides of the petiole at the baseand apex spined, areolet large, lenger than wide.

Vagcnatha, Cam.

Base of thorax rounded, not toothed, metanotum with atransverse keel and petiolar area, the lower sides of abdomin-al petiole not spined ; areolet small, almost square.

Mesostenoideus, Ashm.

In M. angulicollis, the labrum is incised in the middle;

this is not the case with M. carinisentes, Cam., from Sikkim;

the latter species differs further in the scutellum being flat andkeeled to the top of the apical slope.

margined. All the claws are simple, not toothed. Ovipositor

cultriform hypopygium. Temples short. Fore tibiae short,

stout, broadly, distinctly narrowed at the base ; the hind coxae

are more than twice longer than thick ; the fore tibiae haveone, the posterior four have 2 moderately long spurs ; the

legs are slender and, except as regards the fore tibiae, are form-

ed as in the cryptince. The 1st abdominal segment is roundlycurved at the base ; its sides are keeled above and below ; the

spiracles are placed before the middle.

The only group in which this genus can be placed is the

Acoenitini ; the form of the .1st abdominal segment and the

position of its spiracles separate it from the Cryptince, withwhich it has a considerable resemblance. It has the inflated,

Contracted at the base, tibiae of the Xoridini, but not the

characteristic head of that group. On the other hand it has

not the ploughshare-shaped, prominent hypopygium of the

Acoenitini. So far as the alar neuration is concerned it is as

in the Cryptince, as e.g. in Mesostenus. The legs are shorter

and more slender than in the Acoenitini. For the present I

leave it in that tribe.

the rest closely, stoutly obliquely striated. The dilated half

of the petiole is sparsely distinctly punctured ; on its apical

half (of the apex) is an oval, longish, depression ; at the base

This species may be known from H. nasutus, Cam., andH. tuberculatus, Cam., from the Eastern Himalaya by the teeth

on the lowerside of the abdominal petiole, and by there being

a small mark on the apex of the mesopleurae instead of a large

long mark, narrowed at the base along the lowerside, extend-

ing from near the base to the apex.

A Pelandok Tale.*

The story is told that once on a time in the olden days the

king of a certain country was out hunting, he had heen outmany days and had got nothing. Owing to the noise that wasmade by all his followers all the animals had run right away.A certain pelandok was also running away. While he wasbusy running along glancing to the right and to the left, hecame to a certain place where there was a pond, into whichhe fell. He swam to the west and he swam to the east look-

ing for a place to get up but he could not find one. While hewas in this fix an elephant passed. Now at that time of daythere happened to be a very big storm indeed with thunderbooming and lightning crackling hither and thither. Whenthe pelandok saw the elephant, he said to him, " Ho Ka SangGajah, are you not afraid that the sky will fall in ? Justlisten to the noise, rum rum."

The elephant said, " If the sky is really going to tumblein, I am afraid it may hit me, and if it hits me I shall die."

The elephant then said, " What are you doing downthere in that very deep well ?

"

The pelandok replied, ' Oh I have two reasons for being in

this well. First I ran away from this sky that is going to fall

in, then secondly I saw very rare game in this well which hasnever been seen by my grand-fathers, great-grand-fathers,

great-great-grand-fathers or great-great-great-grand-fathers,

who were before me."

The elephant then said, " If that is really so, may I also

come in and get away from this sky that is on the point of

falling in ? May I too see this game ?"

The pelandok said, " If you are frightened and if you wantto see this game, come along."

* This tale is by Penghulu Mohamed Noordin bin Jaffar of KotaStia, Lower Perak. The source is unknown.

B. A. Soc, No. 48, 1907.

28 A PELANDOK TALE.

So the elephant tumbled right down into the well. After

that a tiger came along, on whom the same trick was played.

And then a rhinoceros on whom the same trick was played.

And then a deer on whom the same trick was played. Andthen a wild pig on whom the same trick was played. Whenthey were all inside the well, the pelandok said," Hei, I fooled

you that time."

When the tiger heard what the pelandok said he (the tiger)

said, " Very good, Salam di Kimba, if ever I get out of this well,

I will eat you."

While he was saying this the pelandok took a piece of

wood and began to tease the elephant. The elephant said," Stop that, or I shall kick you." But the pelandok paid noattention and went on teasing. At last the elephant kicked

him right up on to the ground outside, saying, " Now you are

sure to be killed when struck by the sky."

The pelandok said, " Oh that was merely my cunning. I

wanted to get out and could not, so I said the sky would fall

in."

Just then the tiger scrambled up to the edge and got awayinto the jungle, saying as he went " If ever I catch you, I'll

eat you."

After that the pelandok went to some people and said," Hoo ee . . . . gentles and lords, in that well there, there are

many beasts. Elephants, rhinoceroses, pigs and deer havefallen into it. You can go and take them."

After that he went on his way. The tiger also went onhis, looking for the pelandok, but the pelandok kept on moving.After two or three days the pelandok came across a very large

hornets' nest. Indeed the noise of the hornets could be heard

about twenty'yards away. He walked on very slowly carrying

a leaf with him, and then he sat down near the hornets' nest

which he gentle fanned. A short time after he was so seated

the tiger came along and said to him, " This time I really

will eat you, Salam di Rimba."

Jour, Straits Branch,

A PELANDOK TALE. 29

The pelandok said, " Don't talk of eating me when I havehad orders from King Solomon to take care of his gong."

The tiger said, " Is that really King Solomon's gong that

you are looking after ?"

The pelandok answered," Are you deaf ? Listen care-

fully. Does not it sound by itself? When it is struck

its sound is wonderfully sweet. So delicious is it that perhapsif you were to hear it you could neither eat nor sleep."

The tiger said, " Hei Salam di Eimba, may I try and strike

it? I am very anxious to listen to the sound."

The pelandok answered, " Ka Sang Rimau, you are

speaking like a madman. You are speaking as if it were myown. Still I don't know. If you very much want to hear

it I will go and tell King Solomon. If he allows it, you maystrike. But mind you strike it when I say you may, and not

before."

The tiger replied, " Very well.'' So the pelandok rushedaway. When he got some way off he said, " Ho Ka SangRimau, King Solomon commands you to strike." When the

tiger heard that he struck it with his paw. The hornets stung

him all over his body. The tiger ran here and there in very great

pain. He threw his whole soul into his running.

The tiger said, " Very good. I have not got hold of youyet : but if ever I do meet you, there is not the slightest doubtthat I will eat you."

After that the pelandok walked on very hungry and looking

for some food. Two or three days later he came across a very

large and extremely handsomely striped python. Its coils

were just like a very handsomely striped cloth. The pelandok

sat down by it. The tiger walked on in a rage looking for the

pelandok. At last he met him and said to him, " This timeyour doom has overtaken you, Salam di Rimba."

The pelandok said, " Don't keep on talking of dooms.Look first. What is this ? Do you know its name ?

"

$. A. Soc, No. 48, 1907.

30 A PELANDOK TALE.

The tiger went close to look at the python and said, " HeiSalam di Rimba, what is this called ?

? '

The pelandok replied, " This is what I have been ordered

by my lord King Solomon to take care of. It is called KingSolomon's waist-cloth. This handsome cloth descended to

him from his ancestors. Its great charm lies in the fact that

it prevents one from dying. If it is worn for an hour, you are

not likely to die for at least a year after that."

The tiger thought, perhaps what he says is true, so hesaid " Hei Salam di Rimba let me put it on for an hour, for I

am not very well able to search after my food."

Then Salam di Rimba replied, " Hei Ka Sang Rimau,just reflect a moment. Is it right ? I nor my ancestors havenever seen a cloth like this, let alone possessed one. This is

King Solomon's own and I have been ordered by him to take

care of it. Still if you are really want to try it, wait a bit till

I first go and lay your request before King Solomon."

The tiger said, " Make haste Salam di Rimba. for I amvery hungry."

So the pelandok rushed off swiftly- A little later hecalled out from a distance. " Ho Ka Sang Rimau, put it on,

put it on."

So the tiger took the python's head and put it round his

waist. The snake gave him a terrific squeeze and the tiger

jumped here and there like a stuck fowl, half dead, struggling

to escape from the snake's coils. At last he managed to get

free. He was till more incensed against the pelandok. Hewent on his way looking out for some food, and peering here

and there for the pelandok. The pelandok also went away fromthat place. At last about five or six days after, he met the tiger.

The tiger said, " This very day your doom has newly overtaken

you Salam di Rimba."

The pelandok answered, "What is to be done? Still

I would like to ask you one thing."

The tiger said, ' What do you want to ask ?"

Jour, Straits Branch,

A PELANDOK TALE. 31

The pelandok said, " If you want to eat me please swal-

low me whole without crunching me. If you crunch me upI will live, but if you swallow me, I will die. Then too you mustswallow me head foremost. If you swallow me tail first I will

live, but if head first I will die."

The tiger said, " Very well." Thereafter he swallowed the

pelandok whole, head first. After he had been swallowed, the

pelandok worked its way through the tiger's stomach and pro-

ceeded to stick his head out of the tiger's fundament. Thetiger rejoiced greatly at having disposed of the pelandok andwent on seeking for his food. He came across a pig. Hecrouched down to wait for it. The pelandok knew that the

tiger was lurking for that pig so he called out, " Ho, pig, pig,

pig, run away. This tiger is going to spring on you."

When the pig heard that he ran away. The tiger said," Curse this fundament of mine. It is making a noise everyday. It never used to do that."

So he searched for a tree stump and rubbed himself

against it till his back was all bloody. In fact after the tiger

swallowed the pelandok he never got a thing to eat and so hebecame very hungry. When he had been several days withoutfood, and was ravenously hungry, the tiger went after a manwho was making" a clearing in the jungle, and lay in wait to

catch him. The pelandok knew that the tiger wanted to

catch the man who was busy in the clearing so he called out," Ho you there in the clearing, run away, the tiger wants to

catch you."

When the man heard a voice like that he ran off. Thetiger was very astonished that his hindquarters should speaklike that. He was very angry indeed with his back. So hescratched himself against every tree until he was covered

with blood. Finally his back became flyblown and covered

with a great many large maggots. Also he became unable to

walk owing to the length of time that he had been unable to

get anything to eat. At last he died. The pelandok also wasvery hungry, for for a long time he too had had no food. Hewas tremendously thirsty. So he got out and went hither and

thither but could get nothing to eat or drink. At last he got to

a river where he had a drink. He noticed on the other bankfruit which he could eat. Then he looked carefully for

a minute and thought, " How am I to get across ? I

don't think I am able, for I am very weak."

Then he had an inspiration, " I had better call sisters

Sang Garagi, and say that they have all been ordered by KingSolomon to come to the top of the water and that I havebeen ordered to take a census of all that are in the river."

After that all the crocodiles that were in that river cameto the top of the water. The pelandok said, " Elder sisters

Sang Garagi, arrange yourselves properly please, head to headso that I can count you easily."

The crocodiles then arranged themselves from one side

of the river right across to the other bank. After that the

pelandok jumped on to the heads of the crocodiles counting," One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," andso on till he got across. When he reached it he jumped upon to the dry ground and said, " Hei, that was my cunning.

I wanted to get across and could not, so I told you of KingSolomon's order."

Then he had his meal. The crocodile said, " You hadbetter not come here to drink, we will catch you and then only

will be satisfied."

Some days after, what with his walking and his looking

for his food, the pelandok became very thirsty and went to

the river bank to drink. A crocodile came and caught himby the foot. The pelandok said, " Do you think that youhave caught my foot ? Is it not a twig that you havecaught?

"

The crocodile thought, " Perhaps that is so, for I do notfeel any flesh and it tastes just like a piece of wood."

So the crocodile let go and the pelandok sprang up thebank and said, " Hei, that was only my cunning. You really

had my foot, but I said that it was a branch."

Jour. Straits Branch,

A PELANDOK TALE. . 33

After that the pelandok went on to the sea side to a place

where some men lived who had fishing stakes. When he got

near he heard the men in the fishing village making a com-motion because the whole of their fish disappeared, being eaten

up every day by some animal. The pelandok thought whatcan this be that eats all the men's fish. So one da^ when all

the men had gone to sea he crept below a house in the village.

He had lain there only a minute when a giant came along,

and quite devoured all of the fish in the village. The pelandok

thought, " It seems that it is this evil giant that is devouring

all these men's fish."

Then he said, " Good, to-morrow I will give him somemedicine."

After that all the men came back from the sea to the

village and saw that their fish were again finished. They said,

Who is it that devours our fish ? if we only knew wewould kill him."

After that the next day the men once more went away to

sea, and the pelandok came into the village and looked roundfor a piece of rotan with which to make a running noose.

While he was busy fixing the loop the giant came along to eat

the fish and found the pelandok busy making the knot. Thegiant said, " Hei Salam di Eimba, what are you doing there ?

"

The pelandok replied, " Two things only, first to increase

the deadliness of my eye teeth and second to make a medicinefor all stiffnesses of joints or bones."

A little later the pelandok said, " Granpa, I want to sleep

a little. Don't disturb me."—

" Very well."—

" When my eyes

wink that is a sign that I am asleep."—When my eyes are

closed that is a sign that I am asleep."

The pelandok then threw himself down and closed his eyes.

The giant thought perhaps in a little he will wink. The giant

saw the pelandok's eyes wink, so he thought that he really wasasleep. The giant then touched the pelandok's eye teeth

saying, " Is this, this very deadly thing ? It ought not to

be so judging from its size."

B. A. Soc, No. 48, 1907.

34 A PELANDOK TALE.

After this the pelanclok got up from his sleep and the

giant said, " Hei Salam di Rimba, I want to sleep now."

The giant really went to sleep, so the pelandok took somehot ashes and put them on the giant's paw, while he himself

sat down a little way off. After that the giant began to hopabout owiifg to his burnt hand. The pelandok pretended to

be alarmed and said, "What has happened granpa to makeyou jump like that ? What is the matter ? " " My hand got so

tremendously hot that I started from my sleep." ' Perhapsgranpa, you interfered with my eye teeth when I was asleep

just now." " That is true, I did just touch them." " That is

the deadly poison of my eye teeth, I told you not to touch

them. And now your body suffers, granpa."

The giant became rather frightened because of Salam di

Rimba and his many pieces of magic. The pelandok then be-

gan to make a knot. The giant said, " What are you doing

Salam di Rimba ? " "I want to make some medicine for all the

illnesses of the joints and bones and all tiredness and all pains

in any part of the body."

The giant thought, that is true because he knows a great

deal of magic. So he said, " Salam di Rimba, I am in

pain, can you give me this medicine ? " "If granpa asks help,

his grandchild will be glad to give assistance." " Apply it."

So the pelandok took a loop and passed it round both his

knees and his elbows and struck the knot till it was quite tight.

Then he said, " How are you, granpa ? Try and move a little.

Can you or not ? " "I can't move the least little bit." " Waita little longer and all your illnesses will quite disappear, " I

am going to look for the leaf of the perambas in the forest

and also some water from a knot of a tree." " Be quick. If

you are late the owners of the house will all return."

The pelandok went off into the jungle and never came back.

A little later the men came back from the sea and found the

giant trussed up in the house with all his joints securely tied.

They said, " This is what has been eating our fish all this time.''

So they beat and stabbed the giant till he died.

A PELANDOK TALE. 35

The pelandok went on looking for his food up stream anddown stream. At last he met a man who was busy hollowing

out a sampan. The pelandok said, " Perhaps you may makea boat : perhaps you may not." The man paid close attention

to what the pelandok was saying and understood that the

pelandok was making fun of him. So he took a shaving

and thew it at the pelandok and hit him on the rump, whereit broke. After that the pelandok went back to find his wife.

When he reached her he said, " Hooee, hooee, this time pro-

bably we shall be divorced." His wife replied, " Why doyou say that ? " Her husband said, " I have been hit by that

man, who is making a boat with a shaving. This is it on myrump."

After that in about ten days he died and left his wife whowas with child. And that is why to this day every pelandokhas a white chip on his rump.

timpanya, maka apabila di-timpanya tentu aku mati." Makakata gajah, " Apa Salam di Rimba buat didalam telaga yangbangat dalam itu ? " Maka jawab Salam di Rimba, " Dua per-

kara maksud aku didalam telaga ini. Pertamanya aku lari

deripada langit hendak runtoh itu. Kaduanya aku mSlihat

pemainan yang sangat endah didalam telaga ini, yang belumpernah di-lihat oleh datoh nenek moyang munyit aku dahuludahulu." Maka kata gajah, " Jika betul bagitu bolehlah aku,

Sfilam di Rimba, menumpang lari deripada langit hendak runtoh

serta menengok pemainan itu ? " Maka jawab pelandok, " Jika

takut, dan hendak menengok pemainan marilah bersama-samakita." Kemudian gajah ini pun terjunlah kadalam telaga itu.

telaga ini tentu akulah makan juga kamu." Kemudian didalam

antara itu di-ambil oleh pelandok satu kerat kayu di-petiknya

buah pelir gajah itu maka kata gajah, " Jangan di-petik buahpelir aku itu, kamu aku sepakkan sekarang." Maka tiadalah

di-fedulikan oleh pelandok itu, dan petiknya juga buah pSlir

gajah itu. Kemudian di-sepakkannya gajah pelandok itu lepas-

Dan harimau pun berjalanlah ia dengan marahnya akan pelandokitu. Maka didalam hal demikian berjumpalah dengan itu pelan-

dok. Maka kata harimau, " Sa-kali ini sampailah hukum angkau,Salam di Rimba." Maka kata pelandok, " Jangan tebukum-huk-um sahaja. Tengok dahulu, ini apa adakah, Ka Sang Hari-

mau tahu apa namanya ?" Maka dekatlah harimau menengok-lah sawa. Maka kata harimau, c< Hei Salam di Rimba, apa

Tetapi aku hendak berpesan sedikit."" Maka jawab harimau,k

' Apa kamu hendak pesaii itu ? " Maka jawab pelandok," Jikalau Ka Sang Harimau hendak makan aku, hendaklah di-

telan sahaja, jangan di-kunyah. Apabila di-kunyah aku hidop.

Apabila di-t&lan aku mati. Dan-lagi hendak di-dahulukan

kepala. Apabila di-dahulukan ekor tentu aku hidop. Apabila

di-dahulukan kepala tentu aku mati." Maka kata harimau." Baiklah." Kemudian di-telanlah dan di-dahulukan kgpala

pelandok itu. Maka apabila sudah di-telan lalulah pelandok ini

keluar kepalanya sa-kerat tersembor di-lobang burit harimau

Kemudian ini harimau berjalanlah ia hendak mencharimakannya, dan berjumpa dengan sa-ekor babi. Maka ini hari-

mau pun mengendap, mengendap-lah ia. Maka tahu oleh

pelandok ini harimau mengendap babi. Maka kata pelandok

"Ho, babi, babi, pergilah angkau lari. Ini harimau hendakmenerkam angkau." Kemudian di-dengar babi demikian itu

bunyinya, maka ia pun laiilah. Maka kata harimau, " Ini pung-gong chelaka ini, berbunyi pula sa-hari-hari. Tiada p§rnahdemikian itu pula." Maka di-chari satu tunggul di-gunyah-

Maka jawab pelandok, " Sahya ini nenek, tengah beramalkan

Maka jawab pelandok, '-Dua perkara sahaja : yang pSrtamamendatangkanbisa genih sahya ini, ka-duanya ubat lengoh segala

The Pelandok, His Adopted Son

and Pa' Si Bago'. #

The story is told that once on a time in the olden days a

certain man was busy digging a well when a pelandok passed

by. The pelandok said, " What is the use of this man makinga well ! He is only tiring himself." The man then got out

to throw things at the pelandok, but he missed. The pelandokran off. After the well was done the man went away hometo his house. The pelandok too came strolling back to the

edge of the well, when quite unexpectedly he happened to

tumble right down into it. He tried to get out and could not.

While in this fix a wild pig passed by. The pelandok called

out,

" Ho Ka Sang Babi, where are you going to ?"

The pig said, " Salam di Eimba, what are you doing

there ?

"

" I am sitting here playing and amusing myself, for as long

I can ever remember I can never recollect a pleasure like this."

" May I too come in ?"

" If you want to come in you may. But are you willing

to promise ?''

" Promise what ?"

"Don't be long : you must only be a very short time."

"Very well,"11

Jump down."

And the pig then sprang right down into the well.

Afterwards a rhinoceros passed by on whom the same trick

was played. Then a barking deer, then a sambhur deer.

* This story is told by Penghulu that Noordin of Kota Stia, wholearnt it from the Lekah binti Jaman, who was of genuine Perakdescent.

Last of all a bull elephant passed by, to whom Salam di Rimbasaid,

" Ho elephant ! elephant ! ! are you not afraid the sky is

going to topple over?"

For at this time it looked very like a great rain storm withthunder and thunderbolts. The elephant answered, " Is that

true ?"

Salam di Rimba said, " Of course it is true. Just look :

all of us have run and huddled together here. Why ? We fear

that the sky will fall in."

The elephant said, " If that is so, I had better come downtoo."

The pelandok said, " Come down quickly." So the ele-

phant came down and entered into the well. As soon as lie

was right in the pelandok took a piece of wood and began to

tease the elephant. The elephant said, " Stop that. Lookout, or I will kick you up outside where you will certainly

perish struck by the fall of the sky." But the pelandok paid

no attention and went on teasing, so the elephant became very

angry indeed and at last he kicked the pelandok, hurling himright up outside. Salam di Rimba was very glad when hefound himself outside, and said,

" Hei, I fooled you nicely that time. I fell into that well,

and could not climb out, so I said that the sky would fall in."

Just then the noise of a drum being beaten in a neighbour-

ing village was heard, so Salam di Rimba went to the drumbeater. On arriving he found that he was making pre-

parations for the marriage of his daughter. Salam di Rimbasaid, " Ho gentlemen and lords, if you happen to wantto eat barking deer or sambhur deer, just go and get themin that well over there." The people simply fell over oneanother in their rush to see that well. When they got

there they saw that what Salam di Rimba said was quite

true. So they killed the elephant and the other animals,

while they cut the throats of the sambhur deer and the bark-

ing deer. And they made a feast of the deer. When all the

men and all the women were in the middle of the feast Salamdi Eimba went up into the house and began to upset the

ceremonial rice and eggs and to eat them. At once an uproar

arose in the house and some said, " The pelandok has cometo attack us, we had better catch and kill him." When they

chased him he took up a small pillow and got on to the ridge

pole of the house. When they beat up stream he seemed to

be down stream : when they beat down stream he seemed to

be up stream. While this was going on he let the pillow fall

to the ground. They all thought that this was the pelandok

so they all stabbed at it, while he slipped down on the other

side and got away. So they all went up into the house again.

After that Salam di Eimba took a large piece of clotted

rice from a big pot and taking it to the river embarked in it

and paddled away. After some time he reached another

village where he met a boy. Salam di Rimba said, " Whatare you doing here ? " The boy replied, " Nothing in parti-

cular." Salam di Rimba said, " If that is so, come and let us

sail away together." The boy said, "Very well." So both of

them got into the boat and sailed away.

At last they came to a certain reach where they stopped

for a time. And there they met a Pa' Si Bago', * that is a big

solitary monkey (brok). Salam di Rimba said to him, "Pa,Si Bago', what are you doing here?" Pa' Si Bago' replied,

"lam doing nothing just now." Salam di Rimba said, "Ifyou are doing nothing, come along with us." Pa' Si Bago'replied, " All right, let the three of us sail away together."

Now after some time they arrived at a certain countrywhich had been laid waste by a tiger. Few and sparse werethe people of the land. One morning Salam di Rimba met a

man, an inhabitant of the land, who was dawdling along.

Salam di Rimba said to him,

* Pak si Bajok, ia itu beroktung^al. There is only one other storyknown to Mat Noordin about Pak si Bajok (see p. 66 of Journal No.47) Nor is there any farther adventure of Pak si Bajok that he canrelate in this tale.

.

" Ho sir, why is this country so silent ?"

The man replied, " It has been laid waste by a tiger."

Salam di Eimba said, " You can tell your king that it is

not very hard to kill that tiger."

So the man went and told the king what Salam di Eimbahad said. Then he went to call Salam di Eimba, for the king

had said, " Go and call this Salam di Eimba." So he went to

call him. When he found him he told him of the King's com-mand. Salam di Eimba replied, "Very well." So they wentaway together. When they arrived, the king said, "Is it true

that you have said to this man that you can kill the tiger ?"

Salam di Eimba replied, "With the aid of your Majesty's

effluence, God willing, your slave will slay the. tiger. Butprithee bestow on your slave a vessel full of bird lime and twobags of cotton."

The king ordered the bird lime and the cotton to be pro-

duced. When they had both been brought they were given

to Salam di Eimba, who said,

" Pardon my lord, a thousand thousand pardons, peradven-

ture the tiger will die, what will be the reward of your slave ?"

The king said, "If the tiger dies, I will give you mydaughter in marriage." Salam di Eimba replied, " Very^well."

He enquired from what direction and at what time the

tiger came. He was told that it was at evening. Peoplebearing the jar of bird lime and the cotton went along with

him to show him the place. When he arrived there he sat

down and ordered the people who had brought the bird lime

and the cotton to return to their homes. A short time after

the tiger came along and met him. Salam di Eimba said," Ka Sang Eimau, where are you going ?

"

" I am going to attack this country."

" How long have you been waging war upon this land?"

" About three months,"

Jour, Straits Branch,

THE PELANDOK, AND PA' SI BAGO\ 49

" Why have you been so long without running riot throughthe country and subduing it ? Perhaps you have no magic.

For if perchance you had the proper magic you must inevit=

ably subdue this country."

" Teach me this magic, so that I may be enabled to subduethis country."

" Perhaps if I teach you, you will not believe me."

" If you teach me I will certainly believe you." Whilethey were talking thus the tiger observed the jar of bird lime

and the cotton, and said, " What is this, Salam di Eimba ?"

Salam di Eimba answered, " This is it, this is the great

magic. If you apply this to your body, your body must ine-

vitably increase in strength and your courage will also becomegreater."

The tiger said, " Please apply it to my body."

So Salam di Eimba spread the bird lime all over his bodyand face and eyes. Afterwards he did the same with the

cotton. Then when this work was all finished and the tiger

had been blinded he called the people all together and ordered

them to set fire to all the lalang grass in that place- So the

people fired the grass. The tiger hurled himself upstream anddownstream, but the fire caught him and devoured him and heforthwith died. After that the people went to tell the king.

And the king rejoiced greatly at the news that the tiger haddied. Salam di Eimba went before the king and made obei-

sance saying,

- " Pardon my lord, the tiger has been safely destroyed,

and now your slave would claim the fulfilment of your formerpromise." The king said,

" When I am ready I will fulfil my promise."

So the king made great preparations for the marriage of

his daughter with the pelandok. Salam di Eimba said,

" Please do not marry her to your slave, for your slave is

only an animal. Let my lord marry her to my adopted son."

The king was glad for a man had been substituted for ananimal. Seven days and seven nights were spent in prepara-

tions and then the king's daughter was married to Salam di

Rimba's adopted son.

After many days the king's son-in-law urged Salam di

Eimba to return because he wanted to see his mother oncemore. Salam di Eimba approved, and so the boy abandonedhis wife and the two of them set off together.

At last they reached their own country, and the boy oncemore met his mother. His mother wept for joy for she

thought that he was dead. They lived there a long time. Oneday Salam di Rimba met his adopted son and said to him,

" Why has your mother lived so long as a widow ? In

my opinion the blade is all the better for a haft."

The boy replied, "lam afraid that she will be angrywith me."

Salam di Rimba said, !' Don't speak to her about this

when she is busy, nor when she is hungry-"

The boy replied, " All right."

So one day when his mother was reclining after dinner hewent close to her and said, " Mother the blade is the better

for the haft."

His mother replied and said, " I want no husband, I hadbetter live alone."

The boy made no answer.

Five or six days after the boy once more met Salam di

Rimba who said to him, " I think that you ought to coaxyour mother. What has she done that she should live solitary

like this '? People who see will say that it is not proper,

Even if we really do what is right, they will say that we dowrong."

When the boy heard what Salam di Rimba said, he sawthat he was right. So he coaxed his mother. At last his

mother came to think so too. Thus in the end Salam di

Rimba married the boy's mother. They lived happily there.

But after some time Salam di Rimba wanted to return to his

densely populated country. When they got there Salam di

Eimba became a man, for he was the king of that country.

He lived there very happily with his wife and his child. Theking married his own daughter to his adopted son, and boththe king and his wife were very happy over it,

The Story of the Five MenWho Stole the King's Daughter,

The story is told that once on a time in the olden daysthere lived a certain king in a certain country who wanted to

marry his daughter to the son of a noble in that country. Sohe made preparations for forty days and forty nights. Thedays were like the nights and the nights like the days. Whilethis was going on the news was bruited abroad in other coun-

tries.

There was a certain robber who wished to go and rob the

King's house. So he set off by himself. On the way he metwith another man, who said to him, " Where are you going

to ?"

The robber, who is Number- One, replied, " I am off to

rob the house of the king, who is busy making all these

preparations."

Number Two said, "Can I go with you ?"

" What can you do ?"

" If you get anything that you want to steal, I can carry

it for you."

Number One said very good. So they set off together.

A little while after they met another man who also spoke to

them.

This man said, " Where are you off to '?

"

Number One replied, "We are off to rob the house of

this king who is making all these preparations."

Then said Number Three, " Can I come with you? "

" What can you do ?"

" No matter how deep a thing may be in the sea I candive for it." ,

So all three went on together. It was not very long

before they met another man who also spoke to them." Where are you three going ?

"

Number One answered; " We three are going to rob the

house of the king who is making all these preparations ?"'

Number Four said, " Can I come with YOU" WT

hat can you do ?"

1

What I can do is this : no matter how high a thing maybe, I can hit it with my bow and arrow."

After this the four of them went on together. A little

while after they met another man who said to them, " Whereare you four men going to ?

"

Number One answered, " Wo want to rob the king's

house who is making all these preparations."

Number Five said, " Can I come with you ?"

" What can you do ? "-.

" Even if a person has been dead for one or two days, I

can resuscitate him."

Number One said very good. So the five of them wenton together. At last they reached the king's house about

midnight. Then Number One applied his magic and the eyes

of all the people in the king's fort fell fast asleep. So NumberOne went into the king's house lifted all the goldware andthe silver and also took the king's daughter who was to be

married. Then he gave them to Number Two, who carried all

the stuff and also the king's daughter. The five went off into

jungles and out of jungles, up mountains and down mountains,

on to plains and across plains, and at last when it was daythey halted. The king's daughter was still asleep. Theythen boiled enough rice for a meal. WT

food. But they all ate and were all very tired and very

sleepy. At last they all fell asleep except the king's daughter

who could not.

The story goes on to say that the king of the country whohad lost his daughter >and his property was very sorrowful.

So too were his nobles. The nobles spread the news in all the

countries round about. While this was going on the son of

the Chief Vizier of one country who knew that the king's

daughter had been lost, made a gigantic roc on which he flew

off to a very great height. In a short while he noticed at the

edge of a plain some small heaps. He went in that direction

and when he got near he saw that this was the king's lost

daughter. So he snatched her up and flew away. NumberOne started from his sleep and looked right and left behind

and before, but he could see nothing of the king's daughter.

Then he looked above and noticed a very large bird flying

away. Then he woke up Number Four and said,

" The king's daughter has disappeared. Perhaps she has

been pounced upon and carried off by that bird flying there.

Now is the time for you to use your bow."

So Number Four took his bow and shot and hit the bird

which fell into the sea.

Then Number One said, " This is the time for you to

work."

Number three said,'" Very well." So he walked on till

he walked into the sea then he dived right down into it.

After a long time he found the king's daughter and brought herback to the place where his friends were waiting. But whenhe laid her down she was dead.

Then Number One said to Number Five, ^ This is the' time for you to resuscitate the king's daughter and make heras she was before."

So Number Five stroked her face. In a little while the

king's daughter sneezed and revived. Then they gave her a

seat. But she began to cry once more. While this was going

on Number One began to plan a division of the plunder.

K. A, Soc, No. 48, 1907.

60 FIVE MEN WHO STOLE THE KING'S DAUGHTER

Number One said, " Never mind about giving me a share of

the booty. Give me the king's daughter and that will beplenty." But Number Two said the same, and Number Threesaid the same, and Number Four said the same, and NumberFive said the sa,me.

Then Number One said, " If that is so, we had better find

a just king."

All of them were delighted by this plan and so the six of

them travelled on together. But all the booty and the king's

daughter were carried by Number Two. At last they reacheda certain country where the king was very wise. There theylodged in a small house. Then the five of them went before

the king to state their difficulty and to prefer their requests

And Number One said, " Pardon your majesty, a thousandthousand be the pardons accorded to your five slaves prostrate

here. Now your five slaves went to rob a king's house andthey took away all the goldware and all the silver and also

his child at the same time. Now when your servant wishedto divide up the property, your servant said, ' Never mind me,let me have the king's daughter only.' Then Number Two,who is the bearer, said the same thing, and Number Three,

who is the diver, said the same thing, and Number Four,

who is the bow man, said the same thing, and Number Five, whois the life given said the same thing. So we could not settle

the matter. Thus it is that your five slaves have come before

your most illustrious majesty, peradventure your majesty will

give us a just decision."

The king said, " This is a very easy matter to decide."

When the king said that the five men made obeisance andbecame silent to hear the king's judgment.* -

The king said, "The man who first wanted to commit the

robbery cannot get the king's daughter, for he is as it were

her father, for the child first of all comes from her father.

* At this point the narrator insists they all his bearers shall

give their opinion as to who ought to marry the princess. H^e thengives the kind's verdict, after which he tells them how their choice

has revealed their own character.

Jour. Straits Branch

FIVE MEN WHO STOLE THE KING'S DAUGHTER. 61

Number Two, that is the bearer of the king's daughter, he is

just like her nurse, he cannot get her. And as to NumberThree, he is the one to get her in marriage, because he has knownher both in public and in private. Now Number Four, that is the

bow man, he has been very loyal indeed to her, he cannot haveher, for he has been just like a brother to her. As to NumberFive, he cannot have her, for he has been just like a mother to

her ; for every child that has no mother to suckle it, how canit be and live ?

"

Thus did the king gave judgment by a parable. And so

as regards those who thought that Number One should get the

princess we can all learn that those people who so think will

want in all their work to be at the head of it, and as to those

who thought that Number Two should get her, we learn that

they like doing other people's work. And if any one thoughtthat Number Three should get her, we know that whateverthey may wish, they will seldom fail of it, and that their wordswill always fall true. And as to those who thought that

Number Four should get her we learn that they are very loyal

to their friends. And if anyone thought that Number Five

should get her, then that man is a great lover of mankind.This is the moral of the story.

Mat Janin.*

The tale is told that once upon a time there was a mancalled Semordan, who lived in a coconut plantation that he hadmade, and, thanks to God, he lived at his ease, he and his

children eating of the foison of his plantation.

Now one day he was walking with his children in the

garden and he saw that many of the nuts were ripe. Just at

that time Semordan met a man who was a past master in the

art of climbing coconuts and whose name was Mat Janin.

Semordan said to him, " Hai Mat Janin, do you want to earn

wages by climbing coconuts ?"

Mat Janin said, " If the pay is right I would like it.

What do you want to pay a tree ?"

Semordan answered, "Two nuts, and the number of the

trees is about twenty five.'''

Mat Janin said, "Very well then."

So he began to climb one of the coconuts, and while he

was half way up he began to think on this wise :" I am going

to climb these twenty five trees, that means fifty nuts.

Now I can sell those nuts for a cent apiece, that meanshalf a dollar. Then I shall buy some cheap nuts and I shall

get sixty. Then I will boil them and extract the oil.

After that I mil sell the oil and get ten cents profit. That is

my money has become seven times ten cents. After that I

will buy fowls, one cock and one hen, for thirty cents the pair

of them. That leaves forty cents. Then I can buy ten

gantangs of rice for their food. That will be fifteen cents andwill leave me a quarter of a dollar. That will do for my expenses

in taking care of the fowls. In time the fowl will lay eggs andhatch chickens. I will take care of those chickens too. Thenin time they too will hatch other chickens. And the mother

will also still be laying. So my fowls will become many in

number. Then I will sell them all. After that I will buyducks. And rice too for their food. In time they will hatch

ducklings. Again after a time those young ducks in their turn

will hatch other ducklings, and the old ones will still be laying.

So I will have a lot of ducks. They will go upstream and they

will go downstream all quacking, 'kaka.' Then people will

say, ' Whose ducks are those ?' and others will answer,

1 Those are Mat Janin's ' and in response the others will say,1 Mat Janin seems to be rich.'

Then I will sell the whole of my ducks and will buy twoshe-goats and one he goat. In time they will have kids, andthose kids when they grow will get other kids, and the others

mil not be sterile. So that in time I will have many goats

and they will wander up stream and down stream, people will

say, ' Whose goats are these ? ' and others will answer, ' Thoseare Mat Janin's goats.'

Then I will sell all those goats and I will buy a buffalo

bull and a buffalo cow. In time they will get calves and those

calves will after a time get other calves of their own and the

mother will still go on bearing. So I will get a lot of buffaloes.

They will wander up stream and down stream and they will

low ' wa wa ' up stream and ' wa wa ' down stream. People

will say, ' Whose buffaloes are those ? ' And others will answer,' Those are Mat Janin's.' And the others will reply, 'Verily

this Mat Janin seems to be indeed rich.'

After that I will sell all my buffaloes and I will buy a

bull elephant and a cow elephant. In time they will breedand after a farther time their children too will breed and the

old mother will go on breeding. So that I will have a lot of

elephants.

Then I will sell all those elephants and get a lot of money.After that I will buy a ship complete with her cargo. Then I

will go to some other country and there I will marry the

daughter of the king of that country, who is very beautiful. I

will be very happy there and I will play with my wife andfondle her. At daybreak I will go to the royal hall to play

Jour. Straits Branch,

MAT JANIN. 69

chess with the king's children. Then when I am busy playing

chess the princess will call me to go in. One of her maids will

come and say, 'The princess invites my lord to go in andpartake of some slight refreshment.' But I will think, ' T

don't know whether it is really to partake of some refreshmentor whether she wants me to fondle her again. Anyhow I won't

worry about her.' A little while after the princess herself will

come and will say, ' This fellow was invited to come in but henever paid the slightest attention. Very well we shall see.'

Still I will pay no attention to her. In a little while she will

come near me. Then the king's son will say, Mate.' ' Is

that really so ? I will say ' ' Mate,' says the king's son

again. ' Come along and have your food now,' she will say.

But I will say, 'Wait a bit, I have been beaten.' While this

is going on the princess will dig me in the ribs on the right

side but I will twist away to the left. Then she will poke meon the left hand side but I will dodge to the right.'

In the meanwhile Mat Janin was acting this piece of by-

play, and failed to notice that his grip of the coconut leaf wasloosened. So he fell right down to the ground and was killed

outright. Semordan was very sorrowful to see the death MatJanin died.

Mat Janin.

Alkesah maka adalah pada masa zaman dahulu kala makaada satu orang nama Semordan dudok ia perbuat satu kebunnyiur, maka disebabkan Allah, senanglah ia dudok makan anakb&ranak dapat khazanah deripada kebunnya itu. Maka pada

satu hari berjalanlah ia anak beranak didalam kebunnya itu,

maka ditengohnya banyak sudah masak buah nyiur-nya itu.

Maka pada waktu itu berjumpalah ini Semordan dengan satu

orang yang terlalu biasa dan pandai memanjat nyiur, namanyaMat Janin. Maka kata Semordan, " Hay Mat Janin, adakah

mika mahu mengambil upah memanjat nyiur ? " Maka kata

Mat Janin, " Jikalau betul-letul dengan upah-nya mahulahteinan. Berapalah mika hendak upab didalam satu pokok ?"

Maka jawab Semordan, "Dua biji, dan banyak pokok adalah

maka didalam ia tengah memanjat itu timbullab fikirannya

didalam batinya.

" Aku memanjat ini didalam 25 pokok dapatlah aku lima

Pa' Pandir.*

Once on a time a certain woman named Ma' Andihmarried a man called Pa' Pandir. In course of time they hada daughter. When she was about six months old Ma' Andihwent out to receive her wages as a reaper. She left the child

with Pa' Pandir.

She said, " I leave the child with you, Pa ' Padir. Youmust bathe her in hot water, but take care that it is only flesh

warm (lit : as hot as your ringer nail)."

Pa' Pandir said, " All right." Afterwards while Ma' Andihwas away getting her pay, Pa' Pandir put a lot of water in a

big pot and when it was boiling over he dipped the child right

into it. The child died at once. Its teeth remained wideapart. When Pa' Pandir saw its teeth like that, he said,

" How the child likes the hot water."

Not long after Ma' Andih came back from getting her

pay and when she saw her dead child in the pot she burst into

weeping and with profuse lamentations said, " Woe is me child,

child of my heart, we have been for ever separated by this

accursed Pa' Pandir, may his death be sudden."

Pa' Pandir said, " Why are you weeping like that ?"

" Are you blind ? Don't you see that my own child is

dead, murdered by you ?"

" I never thought that she was dead for she was busyeating that broken rice."

" Are you blind ? The child's mouth is full of flies andyou say it is eating broken rice. But since it is dead we mustbury it."

So they buried the child. Three days after Ma' Andihsaid, " Pa' Pandir, I want to give a feast, let me make ready."

This tale is told by Penghulu Mohamed Noordin bin Jaffar of

Kota Stia Lower Perak. He cannot give the source from which helearned it.—The humour is in places unfortunately pre-Shakespear-ean in its breadth.

Jour. Strait* Branch, B. A. boc, No. 48, 1907.

74 PA" PANDIR.

So she made ready as well as she could all sorts of

eatables. Then she sent Pa' Pandir out to call the Hajis andLebais and the common people.

Pa' Pandir said, " What is a Haji like ? What is a Lebailike ? How shall I know the common people ?

"

Ma ; Andih answered, " Wherever you find anyone with

a white head that is a Haji, wherever you find anyone with

a beard that is a Lebai, and all those with parti-coloured

clothes are the common people."

So Pa' Pandir went to call them. After walking for a

little way he met a flock of sparrows with white heads. Sohe said,

" Gentlemen Hajis, Ma' Andih invites you to the feast

that she has prepared in honour of her child who died three

days ago."

" Wee wee wee," piped the sparrowa as they flew away.

" The house is not wee " replied Pa' Pandir. But the

birds only flew on. So he pursued after them with all his mightuntil he caught one.

After that he went on again. A little later he met with

a flock of goats. He saw at once that they had beards so he

said,

" Oh sirs and lebais, you are invited by Ma' Andih to her

feast, for her child has now been dead three days."

" Bah bah bah " bleated the goats as they ran away.

" How dare you say bah to Ma' Andilrs cooking ? " Said

Pa' Pandir. So he ran after them industriously until he caught

one, which he carried slung across the nape of its neck.

Afterwards Pa' Pandir went on to look for the commonpeople who wore varicoloured clothes. He went on into the

jungle. Almost at once he met with a large male tiger. Pa ;

Pandir said, " Ho man of the common folk, Ma' Andih invites

you to her feast which she has made in honour of her child whodied just three days ago." But the tiger ran away. So Pa'

Jour. Strait* Branch,

PA' PANXXfjL 75

Paudir chased it with all his might. At last he got the tiger anddragged it home with him by the ear.

When he reached home and Ma' Andih saw the white

headed sparrow and the old he goat with the long beard andthe tiger with his striped fur, she said, " Where are the hajis

and the lebais and the common people ?"

And Pa 5 Pandir replied, " This with a white headisahaji,

this with the beard is a lebai, and this in the striped jacket is

one of the common people : for that is what you said."

Then Ma' Andih exclaimed, "111 starred Pa' Pandir,

accursed Pa' Pandir, may you die an evil death. You call a

white headed sparrow a haji and an old he goat a lebai and a

tiger a common man."

Pa' Pandir said, " Really I never thought that that was a

sparrow or that a goat or that a tiger.*'

Then Ma' Andih ordered him to let them all go. So Pa'

Pandir set them all free. The result was that Ma' Andih hadto call the people herself and only then were they able to havethe feast.

Afterwards when the seventh day had arrived Ma' Andihplanned another feast. Ma' Andih said, " It is now seven

days since our child died we ought to make a feast. WTe must

get a buffalo this time in order that we may make a proper feast

to our child.-'

Pa Pandir replied, "I will carry out just whatever youthink is right."

So Ma' Andih said, " Go and look for a buffalo."

Pa' Pandir replied, "Very well." Then he said, "Whatis a buffalo like ?

"

Ma' Andih replied, " Whatever you find eating grass, is a

buffalo." He went off towards the rice field. There he founda man busy using a tajak, (a heavy weeding hoe) whose sharp

edge ate into the grass. When Pa' Pandir got up to him, he

said, "Ho sir, will you sell this buffalo'?"

The man replied, " This is not a buffalo."

R. A. Soc, JfOt 48, 1907,

76 PA 5 PANDIR.

Pa' Paudir said, " I am only following what Ma' Andihsaid : ' Whatever you find eating into the grass, is a buffalo."

The owner of the rice field then said, " If Ma' Andih said

so I will sell. The price of my buffalo is twelve dollars."

So Pa' Pandir paid what the owner of the buffalo asked anddragged the buffalo away. But the hoe kept jumping aboutbehind him as it was pulled along until at last it caught him onthe tendon of Achilles and drew blood. Then Pa' Pandir said,

" This is an ill starred buffalo. This tendon of mine is

very sore indeed. And look there is blood on the beast's horns

too." But he went on dragging it until he reached his ownhouse. When he arrived he fastened it securely to the stem

of a betel-nut tree and went upstairs,

Ma' Andih said, " Pa' Pandir. Where is the buffalo ? ''

" I have fastened it to the betel-nut tree over there. Butdon't go too near, for my heel is very sore having been pierced

by the brute's horns."

" I will only look at it from a distance."

So she went to see it. She looked to the right and to the

left but she could see nothing. Then she called out, "Pa'Pandir, Pa' Pandir, where is the buffalo ? Has it got loose '?"

" It is there. I tied it very securely to the stem of

that betel-nut."

" Am I blind? I can not see any buffalo here."

So Pa' Pandir tumbled down from the house to look for

the buffalo. When he got there he said, " This is the buffalo

that I have bought." And he pointed out the hoe to Ma'Andih.

Ma' Andih gave a scream, when she saw the hoe, saying,

" Accursed Pa' Pandir, cursed Pa' Pandir. May your death

be speedy. You call a hoe a buffalo."

So they got another buffalo, a real one, and then they had

the feast . - . . .

Some four or five days after this when he and Ma' Andih

were both out reaping their rice it came on to rain and they

Jour. Straits Branch,

PA' PANDIR. 77

both took shelter under a tree. Pa' Pandir said, " Ma Andih,

Ma' Andih, com' gimme 'nana." But Ma' Andih paid noattention to him. After two or three times however she took

a banana and smeared it with charcoal and gave it to him.

Pa' Pandir tore the banana in two and said, " Ma' AndihMa' Andih, 'is 'nana 'ot not cook' wa' 'appen' ?

"

Ma' Andih replied, " You wanted it in a hurry, so that is

how it is like that."

After that they both went home and stayed there.

About ten days later Pa' Pandir became very ill and at

last died. Ma' Andih wept over Pa' Pandir with varied

weepings and went to call the Hajis and Lebais to bury Pa'

Pandir. The Hajis and Lebais came, and after having washedthe body and held a service they buried him at the head of the

rice mortar. For so Pa' Pandir had ordered and Ma' Andihcarefully carried out all that he had ordered. After that Ma ;

Andih made a feast on the third day and on the seventh dayand again on the hundredth day, (so, after Pa' Pandit's death).

Maka jawab Pa' Pandir, " Baiklah."

Kemudian sapeninggal Ma' Andih pergi mengambil upahmenue itu, maka Pa' Pandir masokkan ayer di-dalam satu kuali

tiada berapa larna-nya dibalah Ma' Andih deripada mengambilupah tueitu, niaka tiba-tiba ditengo'nya anak-nya didalam kuali

sudah mati. Maka menangislah Ma' Andih melihatkan anak-nyasudah mati dengan berbagai-bagai tangisnya katanya, " Wahaianakku, dan buah hatiku, dan jantong lipaku, dan buah hatiku,

anak beranak di-buat Pa' Pandir telukup, Pa' Pandir telingkap,

Maka kata Pa' Paddir, " Apa yang Ma' Andih tangiskan

itu ? " Maka kata Ma' Andih, " Butakah mata angkau, tiada

melihat aka punya anak sudah mati angkau bunoh ? " Makajawab Pa' Pandir, " Tiada sakali aku sangka anak kita itu sudahmati kerana ia tengah makan melukut itu." Maka kata Ma'Andih, •' Butakah mata angkau, mulutnya budak itu penoh di-

isi berenga di-katakannya budak itu tengah makan melukut.

Maka jikalau bagitu baik-lah kita tanam." Maka ia pun lalu

menanam budak itu.

Hata sa-telah sampailah tiga hari, kata Ma' Andih, " Pa'

Pandir aku hendak khanduri, biarlah ku siapkan." Maka ia

pun siaplah atas kadarnya segala makanannya, maka di-suroh-

nya Pa' Pandir memanggil haji dan lebai dan orang ka-bauyak-

mana rupa lebai, dan bagimana rupa orang kabanyakkan? "

Maka jawab Ma' Andih, " Mana-mana yatig puteh kepalanya

itu-lah haji, dan mana mana yang berjanggut, itu-lah

ebai, dan mana-mana yang berchorak kainnya, itulah orangkabanyakkan." Maka Pa' Pandir, pun pergilah memanggil itu.

Kemudian berjalanlah ia sabuntar, berjumpalah dengan sa-

durikan anaknya sudah mati tiga hari sudah. Maka burong itu

Kemudian di-hambat oleh Pa' Pandir, dengan bersunggoh-sunggoh hatinya dapat satu ekor di-pikulnya diatas tengkoknya.Kemudian pergipula Pa' Pandir, menchari orang kabanyakkan,yang berchorak kain pakaienya.

Maka masok Pa' Pandir kadalam hutan, sa-buntar berjalan

berjumpalah dengan sa'ekor harimau jantan, maka kata Pa'

Kemudian serta sampai ka-rumahnya di-lihatnya oleh MaAndih s'ekor burong pipit uban, dan s'ekor kambing jantan

Kemudian Pa' Pandir pun pergilah pula mSncharikerbau lalu ia menuju bendang, Maka berjumpalah pula dengansa'orang tengah menajak, di-dapatkannya orang itu, makakatanya, " Huai inche' di-jualkah kerbau ini ? " Maka jawaborang itu, " Ini bukannya kerbau." Maka kata Pa' Pandir," Sahaya mengikut kata Ma' Andih, mana-mana yang makanrumput itulah kerbau." " Maka jika bagitu pesan Ma' Andiah,

sahaya juallah." Maka kata orang bendang itu, " Harga kerbau

sahaya ini dua belas ringgit ? " Maka di-bayar oleh Pa' Pandir,

The Pelandok and the RotanCutters.*

Once on a time they say two rotan cutters were forwan-

dered in a wood and had to spend the night there. Now oneof them was a coward. Indeed he was simply wild withfright. The result was that his friend, the brave man, wasgreatly distressed to see his companion's state of mind. If

he put him on the right he was frightened, and if he put himon the left he was frightened too. So he put his friend's headbetween his own legs, and his own head between his friends

legs, while he embraced his friend round the waist, telling his

friend at the same time to grasp him in the same manner. Theconsequence was that the brave man's face was at the coward's

back and the coward's face was at the brave man's back, while

each embraced the other.

It happened just at that time His Majesty Stripes, i.e.,

the tiger, was prowling round the jungle looking for his food,

when he noticed these two forwandered friends, who seemedjust like some strange new animal with two heads and four

hands. He was much astonished and wished to go close, but

was just a little frightened. So he went on. He had just got

out of sight when he ran into a mouse deer and said to him," Wahay, Wise Man of the Woods, what is the name of that

animal there with two heads and four hands and four feet that

thy servant has just met ? " The mouse deer, who at onceknew that it must be men who were behaving like that, re-

plied promptly, " Oh, Your Majesty Stripes, do you not knowthat this is what men call Sang Kinot, who is said to havedevoured of old time all your grand-fathers, great-grand-fathers,

great-great-grand-fathers and great-great-great-grand-fathers ?"

Such is the story of how the mouse deer by his cleverness

saved the two lost men from being eaten alive by the tiger.

How the Bear Lost his Tail.*

Once on a time on a certain day a mousedeer was in a

hole, busy eating terong rimbang. He noticed a tiger approach-

ing the ant heap where he was eating the terong. He thoughtthat the tiger wanted to catch him. His joints and bones all

trembled owing to his very great fear and his head was in awhirl. While in this state he began to chew one of the terong

making as much noise with his mouth as he could. " Kerabkerab kertub kertub " went his jaws. " Ambohi," he said," how delicious is this pickled tiger's eye." Then he eat another

terong in the same way and said the same thing. And so onfour or five times. When his majesty stripes heard that hebegan to shudder and crept away very softly.

A short while after the tiger met with a bear and said to

him, " Ho, Sang Beruang, hath my lord heard what manner of

animal it is that lives in that ant heap there, and is so busyeating tiger's eyes ? " The bear replied, " Thy servant knowethnot." The tiger then said, " Come along and see." But the

bear replied, " I dare not." The tiger said, " Never mind, comeand let us swear fealty to each other, and let us tie our tails

together. Then if anything happens we will both suffer." Sothey tied their tails together, and approached the mousedeer'

s

ant heap very gingerly as if they were going against some very

great enemy.

When Salam di Rimba saw these animals he knew that

they were badly frightened, so he shouted out, " Look at this

accursed tiger, his father owed us a white bear and he is nowgoing to pay his debt to us with a black one. Black or not,

bring it along quickly." When the bear heard this he wasvery greatly startled " Hei," he said, "

is this the trick that

Sang Harimau is trying to play on me ? He wants me to payhis father's debt, does he." . So the bear tugged violently.

88 HOW THE BEAR LOST HIS TAIL.

And the tiger too was startled when the bear began to wrenchlike that. So he began to jump and the bear commenced to

heave. Finally the bear's tail broke off short and both ran

away. And that, they say, is why the bear's tail is alwaysshort. Such is the story of how the mouse deer's cleverness

saved him from being eaten by the tiger.

Sa'ekor Pelandok Dengan Sa'ekor Harimaudan Beruang.

Sakali persetua kapada suatu hari adalah sa'ekor pelandok

dudok didalam suatu lobang busut tengah makan buah terong

rimbangf, terdengar akan sa'ekor harimau berjalan menghampirbusut tempat ia dudok makan buah terong itu. Pada sangkanyahendak menangkap ia. Gementarlah sendi tulangnya dengankatakutan yang amat sangat, serba salah pada fikirnya. Didalamhal itu dimamahnya sabiji buah terong itu membesarkan bunyi

mulutnya berkerab-kerab. keitub-kertub, serta katanya," Amboi, sedapnya pekasam biji mata harimau ini." Kemudiandimakan pula sabiji lagi berkata juga ia seperti itu,sampai ampatlima kali. Pidengar oleh maharaja belang, yaani harimau kata-

kata itu, timbullah negeri sedikit hatinya, berundorlah ia perla-

han-lahan.

Hata tiada berapa lama ia berjalan itu, berjumpa ia dSngansa'ekor beruang, lalu harimau itu berkata, " Hei, Sang Beruang.Adakah tuan hamba mendengar apa binatang didalam lobang

busut disitu tengah memakan biji mata harimau?" Dijawaboleh beruang, " Tiada hamba katahui." Kata harimau, " Chubamari kita lihat?" Jawab oleh beruang, u Hamba tiada berani."

Kata harimau, " Tiada mengapa, mari kita berjanji tegoh setia

dan bertambat ekor. Jikalau susah apa-apa pun bersama-samalahkita kadua." Lalu bertambat ekorlah kaduanya serta

m^nghampiri busut tempat pelandok itu, dengan beringatan

bersikap diri sa'oleh-oleh, seperti mengadap setru yang besar.

Maka dilihat oleh Salam di Rimba, yaani pelandok, kalakuan itu,

The Rich Man, the Poor Man andthe Way the Pelandok Squared

the Score.*

The story is told that once on a time there was an extre-

mely wealthy merchant who lived in his house in the countryat his ease eating and drinking every day. Now quite close to

his garden there was the house of two people, husband andwife. One day the wife of the poor man was chattering with

a friend of the merchant, when she said,

" Whenever anything is cooked in the merchant's house,

whether it is fried or baked or stewed or broiled, then andthen only do I eat. For whenever I smell anything being

fried or baked or stewed or broiled in the merchant's house I

eat with a good appetite. That is how I happen to be so

plump, through eating thus. Whenever I want to eat I alwaysmake it a practice to wait till there is a smell of cooking in the

merchant's house. Then I eat." The merchant's friend told

him all that the poor woman had said. As soon as the rich

man and his wife heard this, the rich man exclaimed.

" Of course that is why we never get stout. It seemsthat all the flavour of our frying and baking and stewing andbroiling is quite devoured by these two poor people." Therich man was very angry indeed with the poor man and cursedand abused him up hill and down dale finally demanding that

the poor man and his wife should pay the price of anythingthat had ever been cooked in his house. He went off and com-plained to the raja of the country and sued for all his expensesin frying and baking and stewing and broiling on the groundthat the flavour thereof had been devoured by the poor manand his wife. The raja summoned the poor man and his wife

before him. When he made enquiries the poor man replied,

* This tale told by Penghulu Haji Mohamed Nasir bin KandaMat Sen of Hutan Melintang, who first learnt it from one PawangTalip bin Mohamed of Menangkabau.

92 THE RICH MAN AND THE POOR MAN.

"Of a truth Your Highness, thy slave sups whenever there

is a smell of cooking in the merchant's house."

The king came to the conclusion that he was unable to

give a decision and so he ordered the gong to be beaten

throughout the whole country and a proclamation to be

made.

'! Ho, whoever gentle or lord, can decide the plaint that

the merchant prefers against this poor man will be made the

vizier of the land."

But no man replied to the proclamation. At last the

pelandok said to the herald. " Oh herald, what is troubling

the king of the country ? Where are his enemies breaking in ?

Which of his soldiers has committed murder ? Where is the

wall of the royal fort that is in need of repair?"

:' None of these. But a certain merchant has made com-plaint to the king, and the king has caused proclamation to be

made that whoever will decide the plaint of the rich managainst these two poor people, husband and wife, will be madethe grand vizier of the land."

" Pray thee, inform the king that I will settle the case."

" Very well, Salam di Rimba, come along with me to theking."

When they reached the royal hall the king said to the

herald. Have you found any one who can settle the question

of right and wrong between the merchant and the poor man ?"

The herald made obeisance and replied, " May I bepardoned a thousandfold, Salam di Rimba hath declared that

he can give judgment in the case between the rich man andthe poor man, O my lord."

The king said, " Is it true that Salam di Rimba hath said

that he can give judgment in the merchant's case ?"

Jour. Straits Braneh

THE RICH MAX AND THE POOR MAX, 93

The pelandok made obeisance and replied, " With the help

of your highness' aid, your servant will give judgment betweenthe merchant and the poor man."

" If you are not able to, I will kill you forthwith."

11

If I am slain thy servant will die and my lord will be

one slave the poorer."

" Give judgment quickly."

The pelandok then went up on to the judgment seat andthe merchant and the poor man were called and placed before

him. The pelandok enquired of the rich man. " How muchof your money has been devoured by the poor man ? " Themerchant replied, " Full a thousand dollars hath thy servant

lost." The pelandok then asked the poor man " Is it true

that you eat whenever there is any smell of frying or baking

or stewing or boiling in the merchant's house ?'' The poor

man replied, " Of a truth thy servant eats whenever there is

cooking in the merchant's house, for the smell of the cooking

reached thy servant's nostrils.'' The pelandok then enquired," Have you ever gone into the merchant's house ? " " Never."

"Have you ever gone into his garden?" "Never." Thepelandok then enquired of the merchant, "It is true, sir,

that the poor man has never been inside your garden?"The merchant replied, "It is true." The pelandok then wentto the king and borrowed a thousand dollars. He gave orders

that the state curtain should be placed in the middle of the hall

and arranged between the merchant and the poor man. Hethen called out in his shrill voice and ordered the poor man to

count out the thousand dollars on one side of the curtain andthe merchant to listen very carefully on the other. So the

poor man told the dollars thus, " One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten " When he completedthe tale of the thousand, the pelandok said, " Take, sir, here-

with a full and complete settlement of your account." Themerchant said, " Very well, bring the dollars to me." Thepelandok said, "Why sir, do you want the very dollars?

You have received your account and it is all settled. The

List of Graveyards of the Late Sultans

of the State of Perak,

Der-Ul-Rithuan, enquired into and visited by me,

Stia Bijaya Di Raja,

under instructions received from the

Government.

The names of the late Sultans and the situation of their

respective graveyards are as follows

:

1. Paduka Sri Sultan Mothaffar Shah, the first Euler of

the State of Perak was the son of the late Sultan MahmudShah, of the State of Kampar, (Sumatra)- His former namewas Eaja Mothaffar Shah, and the length of time he was on the

throne is unknown. The situation of his graveyard is at TanahAbang, Ayer Mati, in the mukim of Lambor Kanan, KualaKangsar District.

His graveyard is on a mound or platform and surrounded

by a wall. His daughter's grave is on the right of the platform

and that of his wife on the left ; his " Guru " (religious teacher)

named Syed Hussein, is also on his left. Four graves are onthe platform. His tombstones are beautifully and clearly

engraved by Acheen people of former days. They are brokenand cracked. If his graveyard monument is to be renewed the

! ganti badan " stone (i.e. a stone placed over the grave, extend-

ing from the head to the feet, to represent the body) should

be made and his name be inscribed on this stone. His tomb-stones could be utilised again but the breaks and cracks shouldbe mended with cement.

2. Paduka Sri Sultan Mansur Shah, son of the late Sul-

tan Mothaffar Shah. His former name was Eaja Mansur, andthe length of time he was on the throne is unknown. Thesituation of this Sultan's grave is at Kota Lama Kanan, KualaKangsar District.

E, A. Soc, No. 48, 1907.

93 GRAVEYARDS OF THE SULTANS OF PERAK.

The graveyard of this Sultan I asked the elders of KotaLama Kanan to point out to me ; they all informed me that,

according to stories handed down by their forefathers, this

grave is in the Kota Lama Kanan Mosque, under the pulpit.

I could not find it at any other place. I brought this matter

to the notice of His Highness Sultan Idris, and he told methat it was true that the grave of this Sultan is in the Mosque,as former Sultans, when visiting this grave, used to go to the

Mosque. I think that a large tombstone with the name of

this Sultan should be made and placed in the Mosque next to

the pulpit.

3. Paduka Sri Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah, son of the

late Sultan Mansur Shah. The latter was afterwards called" Almerhum Kota Lama Kanan." His former name was EajaAhmad, and the length of time he was on the throne is un-

known. This Sultan died at Jolong, and was called " AlmerhumMuda," and his grave is at Geronggong, in the mukim of PulauTiga, Lower Perak District.

The grave of this Sultan is in the land owned by a

Javanese named Haji Muhammad - Saleh. His tombstones

were beautifully engraved by Acheen people. One of the twotombstones is broken and cannot be mended andtherefore bothstones should be renewed.

4. Paduka Sri Sultan Tajul Arifiin, son of the late Sultan

Mansur Shah (Almerhum Kota Lama Kanan). His former

name was Eaja x\riffin, and the length of his reign is unknown.The grave of this Sultan is on the island of Semat, in the mu-kim of Senggang, Kuala Kangsar District.

This grave is in the land owned by one Anjang Ibrahim.

Only one tombstone remains over the grave. I do not think

this stone could be further used and therefore both stones

should be renewed.

5. Paduka Sri Sultan Alla-Uddin Shah, son of the late

Eaja Kechil, and grandson of the late Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin

(Almerhum Muda, died at Jolong, see para. 3). His former

Christmas Island Flora—Additional

Notes.

By H. N. Ridley.

Tristiriopsis nativitatis, Hemsl.

Mr. Hemsley has since the publication of this report

given a figure of this plant from specimens collected byme in the Icones Plantarum No. 2812, as Tristiropsis

Ridleyi order Sapindaceae tribe Melicocceae. He says

it almost certainly belongs to the same species as aspecimen collected by Lister in 1887, but the leaves

and leaflets of that were twice the size, and Lister notes

the tree is 100 feet high and 13 feet through. I neversaw one nearly as large as this, in the island. Flowersare much wanted of this.

Dendrobium pectinatum, Ridl.

I find that this name is already occupied by another

species, so the name must be changed to D. nativitatis.

Dr. Christ has examined some of the ferns T sent himwhich were somewhat doubtful and gives the following

identifications.

Asplerium paradoxum^ Bl.

One specimen I got in Christmas Island provesto belong to this species. It is very doubtful how-ever how far this can be kept distinct from A.
