like a broad flat cover.' The diameter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> areola was never below 5 cm.,<br />

and in some almost 10 cm." ^<br />

Kenaboi Tribes.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tribes mentioned by Logan consists<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> "Sakai," said to frequent <strong>the</strong> neighbourhood<br />

<strong>of</strong> Mount (Gunong) Kenaboi. These are doubtless<br />

identical with <strong>the</strong> Orang Kenaboi <strong>of</strong> Vaughan-Stevens.^<br />

If it is possible to locate this "tribe," and at present<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is hardly any information concerning <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong><br />

latter name, i.e. "Kenaboi," is obviously preferable<br />

to that loosely used by Logan.<br />

Vaughan- Stevens considered <strong>the</strong>m, as already<br />

stated, to be a subdivision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> parent-stock <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Sakai (Blandas). This classification, however, re-<br />

quires confirmation, <strong>the</strong> measurements taken showing<br />

a brachycephalic as well as a dolichocephalic element.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r measurements taken by Vaughan-Stevens<br />

will be found in <strong>the</strong> Appendix.^<br />

Berembun and Udai Tribes.<br />

Logan* fur<strong>the</strong>r mentions certain tribes living to<br />

<strong>the</strong> north <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Benua-Jakun, whom he calls <strong>the</strong><br />

Berembun {" Birmun ") tribes, because <strong>the</strong>y have <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

headquarters about Gunong Berembun and <strong>the</strong> neigh-<br />

bouring mountains.^<br />

The upper reaches <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rivers rising in <strong>the</strong><br />

Berembun mountains are occupied by <strong>the</strong> tribe called<br />

Udai.<br />

who are known to <strong>the</strong> Benua-Jakun <strong>of</strong> Johor under<br />
